How to use Social Bookmarking to Generate Traffic

 

We have heard numerous ways of increasing traffic to a website. Social bookmarking has become one of the easiest ways to enhance the flow of visitors to a website.

Here are some methods being mostly used:

    * Posting to any of those social bookmarking services is free traffic, and you are allowed to post your own stuff - just don’t spam. i.e. “Don’t submit every blog post.”
    * Using a service like Socializer or Web 2 Submitter can help you to speed up the process of submitting to these sites. Don’t be tempted to use an automated submission tool since that can/will get you banned. If you don’t know what services are out there the look at the list from Socializer.
    *  Pay more attentions to tags in social bookmarking, it is useful if you tag the website with the right keywords. The keywords must be able placed properly so that it can powerfully present the website. Whenever any web visitor enters the keywords in the search engines then the website having similar keywords features first in the search engine results page.
    * Don’t underestimate a your titles or your category. Think about what is popular that relates to what you are writing about - a popular name or thing of the moment in your title can get you lots of extra clicks. And placing your bookmark in the correct category can make or break your efforts.
    * Trade diggs, stumbles, etc through online forums like the one on Digital Point. This will help you to increase how important your site is compared to others on these services.
    * Set time aside specifically for it. I’m not going to kid you, bookmarking your posts with these services takes a good chunk of time. Make time in your day to do it, or it might be one of those things that gets put aside. I like to keep track in an excel sheet of when and what service I posted to so that I can remember and track the success of the different services.
