Firstly what is social bookmarking?
We often presume that everyone knows what social bookmarking is, they do not. Bookmarking is when you store a link to a website on a social bookmarking website. Therefore instead of adding a link to your favorite website in Internet Explorer or Firefox, you add it to a website online. This way other people can see which websites you think are worth bookmarking.
How does this Social Bookmark benefit my website?
1. Storing a link on another website can be considered as a back link to your website which you need for Search Engine Optimization purposes. 2. People might share the link with others and it might become viral. 3. If your link is shared or voted on it can send a huge amount of traffic to your website.
Have you heard people talk about getting on the first page of Dig? What about Google Buzz, Twitter (tweeting), Rededit, Stumbleupon, and more? These are all bookmarking websites where you can store website links.
Tips for getting traffic using Social Websites:
1. Have social icons on every post on your website so people can share your content with their friends. For example if there was a Dig button or a Facebook like button people might press this if they like what they see. A great plugin for WordPress is "Lovely bookmarks" or "Digg digg". 2. Use Socialmarker.com or Onlywire.com to bookmark some of your posts when you write them. This will help others find your website. 3. Bookmark other peoples posts that are related to your website. You don't want to look like an idiot who saves your links only. 4. Be involved with social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Customize your pages and post great content links on these sites.
