5 ways to get on the Delicious homepage

May 10, 2009 • Matt

Via a highly scientific process, I’ve determined that the list below contains 5 surefire ways to get a post listed on the homepage of Delicious.

  1. Create a post with a title such as: 5 ways to do X
  2. Create a post with a title such as: 10 ways to do X (where X is the same as in #1 and includes the first 5 ways)
  3. Create a post with a title such as: 15 ways to do X (where X includes steps from #1 & #2)
  4. Create a post with a title such as: 20 ways to do X (again, where X includes steps from #1, #2 & #3)
  5. Create a post with a title such as: 42 ways to do X – the content of this post should do nothing other then link off to other sites that list ways to do X

    Curious… How doing this achieves getting on the home page of delicious…

    Surely this will also achieve a certain amount of duplication when it comes to the list…

    Love to hear back and understand.

      Obviously this was sort of intended as a joke, however the whole reason it is funny is because it happens on Delicious constantly. One person releases “5 ways to do X” and then within a day, “10 ways to do X”. Or, someone posts “50 ways to do X” and all they do is link to other people that explain how to do it.
