1 A Quick Brush with Websites Before we dive into the world of community news websites, let us understand the tidbits about the same. This information will surely come in handy for those who are new to community news websites: Basically, community news websites share knowledge that they receive from a submission page that invites readers to submit handy tutorials that are niche specific. Readers submit useful design tutorial links (of there or other blogs) via the submission page. Then the admin of that community website publishes a link to that tutorial on its community page. The idea is simple and proves to be very handy todrive traffic to design blogs if the tutorials are listed on other high end design blogs. Advantages - Once your tutorial is listed on a community news website then you get traffic from that website and an important backlink which helps from SEO perspective. Disadvantages - It might take several submissions over multiple community news websites before your tutorial is listed on some sort of community website. Also, at times the returns aren t as big as the efforts. It is easy to create your own community news website and submission page. A simple blog like theme which links to external tutorials is all that you need to have your own community news website. You will figure this out when you start checking the plethora of examples that are about to follow. The submission page will be more or less like your contact form with the field titles edited to suit the community news submission page requirements. We have published similar lists before too! But, as you know it. You, our readers, constantly search for fresh content so we thought why not go ahead and publish a fresh list of community news websites. So, here they are. Done! Enough talking! Now, let us dive into the endless list (101 is kind-of endless in itself, right?) of community news websites. Stick around and do try them.
