When we consider social sites we automatically think of Facebook, MySpace or perhaps Bebo. Social media sites include YouTube and Flickr. There are many social bookmarking sites that can be used to deliver traffic to your sites.
Digg and StumbleUpon are the two most popular sites although del.icio.us is is also well respected. These are not the only sites around. The following bookmarking sites could well be worth a visit depending on the genre of your site.
Reddit: this is one of the social bookmarking sites that relies heavily on your interaction within the community. In fact if you don’t have the time to invest on this site then you will not get the most from it. Reddit really is a social networking site – the emphasis is on the networking. The more you network the more successful you will become.
De.lirio.us: this site is very similar to del.icio.us – in fact you can import your data from del.icio.us if you wanted. De.lirio.us works in a similar fashion to del.icio.us although when submitting a post, you need to use your own tags – but then you already use tags don’t you?
Linkagogo: a site that is perfect for novices. It is easy to use and easy to get a good understanding of. Whilst no where near as big as some of the other sites, sometimes smaller is better – there is certainly less competition and as the site grows popularity, so too will your authority as an ‘old hand’.
These are just three social bookmarking sites that could be used to bring in new traffic. The keys to these sites include good tagging and good networking skills. The more you network the more authority you will gain.
I just recently became netweb marketer and I am absolutely fascinated and excited about all this new stuff I am learning: Social Book Marketing, Article Writing and using Social Media.
I am looking forward to a life time career on the Internet.Go to my sites and check out some of the work I have done.
