When I wrote a post about the ‘Definitive Guide to Fark and Getting Mass Traffic‘, the last person I expected to comment on the post was the founder of the website itself.

In this post, I’m going to look at the exact steps I took (which you can replicate) to make a very tidy income and increase my authority online.
