PickySite is a brand new social networking site for webmasters, internet marketers, web designers, web developers, and SEO experts. Along with PickySite’s editors, they write group and individual blogs and communicate with other members sharing the same goals.

How it works

On PickySite you can start your own personal group, or corporate blog and share information, links, and photos. You can also start conversations around posts, or show that you like someone’s article by posting comments or voting on the post. The most interesting or important articles will make it to the homepage of PickySite.

Most of the users of PickySite are Web professionals. Consequently, the website could prove to present valuable resource. Currently, blogs cover 35 topics, such as:

• Web design
• Web development
• SEO
• Pay per click
• Social media
• Link building
• Affiliate marketing
• Email marketing
• Web analytics
• Hosting
• Site audit
• Video SEO

Sink or swim?

If PickySite manages to gather sufficient users, it will provide opportunities to share your ideas and knowledge, find partners and develop your relationships. It might aslo provide companies with a way to grow their brand, build their reputation, market the products, and interact with clients.

However, PickySite is targeting a very competitive niche. Webmaster World has provided first class news sharing and discussions for Web professionals for more than decade. Search Engine Land has a thriving community for SEO professionals called Sphinn.

PickySite has a wider target group and this might attract the DIY crowd who do their own web design, SEO and affiliate marketing. At the moment of writing, though, the 76 members do not make for a bustling community.

Here’s a list of search engine and SEO discussion forums and social networks.
