Mixx is one of the most underestimated social media websites around right now. I’ve been at ‘Super-Mixxer’ status for a while now, and I’ve noticed some pretty sweet things about Mixx.
Mixx is essentially another Digg type site, with a light focus on niche groups. While you can find your niche by simply searching the groups, you can reap many benefits by using Mixx.
Some of the Juiciest Dofollow Links Come from Mixx - I’ve had no problems getting a brand new website indexed within Google, in around 16-24 hours. Just from submitting an article to Mixx. Now please don’t take this in the wrong way - spammers know of this, and are always abusing the system. Since it’s a very new social media site, being just a year and a bit old, it hasn’t had the opportunity to experience Digg-like growth. User moderation is present, just not all the time. A lot of spam does sometimes slip through, but is corrected upon hitting the frong page. Please do not abuse the powers of the Mixx backlink!
Mixx Providing a Solid Backlink
Mixx is for Everybody - Startrek fansite owners, Baseball card collectors, and news hounds alike, can find their niche groups. Having a close-knit community involved in your specific fields of interest is a great way to see some quality traffic. People may find your posts about Star Trek so fascinating, they might even decide to leave a blog comment (nothing beats fresh content!).
It’s Easy to get Popular on Mixx - It takes approximately 30+ positive votes to get “on deck”, which eventually leads to the front page when it hits enough votes. If you submit a photo, it takes about 13-15 positive voters to become popular. Videos take about 15-20 votes to become popular.
Mixx has Some Cool Awards - Mixx rewards their users with neat little trophies which are displayed in their Mixx profile. Here is a list of the Mixx Awards, it’s worth checking out.

Now of course, there is always some cons to go with the pros:
- Spam can easily slip through if not moderated
- A lot of Hollywood/Bollywood ‘celebrity photos’
- Not a ton of traffic comes from Mixx
- The design isn’t as fun or as usual as Digg

I am still kind of new to Mixx but I hear great things about it. I am now following you on Mixx. Thanks for the article.
Also new on Mixx .. but looks very interesting. must say I don’t like Digg very much, so I hope Mixx will use it’s position better than Digg. The Digg bar is not a great idea - seen from my side of the table.
Good tips… I am also just getting involved in Mixx, will be following you and hope to hear more from you!
Most of ppl use digg and other Social media sites coz they bring alot of traffic as well as help to get index on SE’s. Yeah i like mixx.com as well but i think they need to work a bit to give some traffic to users…….mixx.com is already has name in market now. it can be big if they able to bring some traffic for webmasters….
I like mixx. And I am a Power Mixxer now!.. Great overview. And its good to see someone spreading words about mixx.. Keep it mixxing!!..
You know I love Mixx Babby!
But in all seriousness, Mixx is definitely a powerful social site; if they can increase the traffic to their popular content they are going to really do a number on Digg.
