That's a great way too. 1.5-2SBD upvote right after posting and a bigger upvote after 30 mins is the best way to go IMO. I prefer the trending page and I normally ladder in my upvotes. Basically I buy more votes as the days go by to stay up in the trending list. For an example this post is ranked 15 in #howto trending. It'll fall below 25 in 2 days or less and that would suck. So I'll buy some more votes and get it back to top 10. That's the strategy I'm using. For someone with less SBD, your way could actually work better. Thanks for sharing :-)
