Is social bookmarking the way to go

I have been using stumble upon and delicious has anyone seen good results from these

 

stumple upon had 8million signed up users so i would say thats decent but why not register to many more? triple ur traffic easily!

 

content is king mate. if you have good, attracting and mass appeal content on your page, then go stumble it.. next day your traffic counter goes up .

 

There are a lot of SBM sites out there. I advise you to use at least 20 - 25 high PR Social BM sites such as Mixx, Reditt, Digg, etc.

 

Does google crawl these socialbookmarking sites?

 

don't forget about Twitter and facebook, both great sites for traffic

 

Twitter seems to be the most used one these days for promoting your website.

 

Social bookmarking in general, is a good way to drive traffic, get backlinks, popularity and advertise. Surely is a way to go!!

 

Your doing a good start. Try to join to other social bookmarking sites also.

 

every little bit helps, like people have said join more. build your accounts there, don't just push things you have but also push things you like or other articles,

 

Social book marking sites like digg and stumble will give tremendous traffic if you have become quite popular but I doubt very much about their targeted nature. They will simply bleach your bandwidth.

 

used digg, twitter and facebook !!!

 

bandwidth won't matter with those sites their traffic makes server resources more if we hit the frontpage

 

No dude , I dont get much success from there , I usually use facebook , twitter , eZdia and digg for this , These will generate some good trafffic to your site .and Mixx sometimes

 

Download Onlywire toolbar for Firefox (onlywire.com)

You will discover that it allows you to bookmark websites to loads of SB sites and other web2.0 sites.

Join them all, add your login details into Onlywire, then you can submit a bookmark for your website all at the same time.

Onlywire is free, but you have to have an onlywire link on one of your websites to be able to use the service.

This is one of my fav boomarking tools. Saves me hours and is great for backlinking.

 

twitter does seem to me like its just marketers marketing to marketers... kinda eh lol

 

I believe the idea is to employ different strategies.. social media marketing, social bookmarking, blog commenting, forum posting, article marketing and such rather than concentrating on just one way.

 

i agree with you.

 

I think mister-wrong is also the great site for traffic.

 

Digg has sent me around 6k visitors from hitting the front page before, which is the most I've ever gotten from any social networking service but the traffic was horribly un-targeted. Barely any interest in the article, and Google Analytics said the average user was on my site from Digg for a minute or so.

However, referrers from other social networks such as StumbleUpon, Diigo, DesignBump, Design Moo, etc... have average visiting times of anywhere from 5-7 mins on my site. Granted I only get a select hundred of visitors from these sites per new article I post, it's still very relative and targeted traffic.
