MORE ON SOCIAL BOOKMARKING
Today we are covering How to use “Social Bookmarking” to Build Your Social Networking Spider Web and get massive traffic to your business.
This topic is on how to get a lot of sites to link back to your website or blog and to create a lot of targeted traffic by using “social bookmarking”!
Social bookmarking is very popular with marketers in every business, hobby or personal niche. Social bookmarking sites such as StumbleUpon, Digg, Del.icio.us, and Technorati let users add links to sites they like and make those links public so that other visitors can grab those links and add them to their own lists. This makes your URLs (website links) go viral.
Social bookmarking sites are a great way to get traffic to your own websites and blogs. What you do is bookmark your sites and then hope others will share the links. On some social bookmarking sites like Digg, viewers can vote for your entries and make them even more popular.
If enough people vote for your particular link (that has an article or blog posting associated with it), it might make it to the front page of that bookmarking site. A front-page listing can yield thousands of visitors a day to your site. However, because of the very nature of social bookmarking sites, if you want to get tons of traffic from the bookmarking sites, you need to make sure that the links you submit are interesting – and not just your sales pitch page.
Take a look at current events to use as a source of information to write about – and then bookmark. For example – let’s say your blog is in the interior design niche and you have a site on high end interior design. A simple how-to site may not get shared a lot.
But let’s say you read an article about using simple products from Ikea or KMart for making high-end interior design work on a limited budget. With this type of topic you’d have a pretty decent shot at having a lot of home owners or interior designers share your links with others.
If your blog tends to be less newsworthy and more general, then you don’t need to worry about how many people vote for your story or share your links. In this situation, just concentrate on using the social bookmarking sites to build back links to your sites, which will increase your search engine popularity.
Concentrate on bookmarking the index page (home or main page) of each of your sites first.
The key to social bookmarking is to become a participant in a community that shares interesting information. Create a good, personal profile that tells a little about you. Make sure to add some photos, and if the site offers it, start building a friends or fans list.
Be careful not to add too many links each day. Don’t go crazy and add 100 links a day. Try to keep it to 10 or less per day and you will be okay.
After you’ve been a participant for a few weeks, you might be able to get away with up to 50 per day. And…. make sure to keep bookmarking stories on other websites and vote for a few of the popular stories that made it onto the first page. This will help to make your profile look a lot more legitimate in the eyes of the community.
