Social Bookmarking - How To ???

I have heard a lot of talk about social bookmarking and how great it is for SEO and traffic generation.

I have a question.

What exactly is social bookmarking and how do webmasters generate traffic from this??

Cheers,

Jared.

 

Sites like digg.com, del.icio.us, furl.com, reddit.com

It's just like the bookmark on your web browser. Except you are making it public and everybody can see, so they go check it out. So when you bookmark your own site, everybody will go check it out, thus bringing you traffic. Usually the more bookmarks that site receives (or diggs, in the case of digg), then the higher chance it has of reaching the frontpage, which is where all the traffic is.

 

I hear some talk of people submitting articles to digg. how does this work?

also how do I get people to digg my site?

 

Hi jard

Social bookmarking is best way to generate traffic to site. digg, stumble, delicious is good SB sites. Go to that and submit your site in it. Put your url, title and description in those sites and generate lots of traffic to your site.

 

Yes but you need a good catch line to get them there. lots of people are making submissions at any given time, so keep submitting different pages and titles until you get something that people want, think Viral!

 

Best to only do this with particularly good content.

 

Can anyone tell me how much diggs are required in order to make it to the front page?

 

dig.com is a good place for you just to submit your article, then you can get traffic.

A ton, that is why you need to invest time in gaining friends, then you do your little shout and hope they digg you article!

 

The digg approach generally means that if you get highly ranked you will get a TON of traffic.
Stumbleupon is usually better for starting sites as you can get some traffic without having to get a ton of stumbles.

 

Thank you for all the comments. it is very useful

 

I think its only a way to promote your website, but not a way to getting traffic.

 

you receive traffic from high traffic social bookmarking sites by bookmarking your web pages or blog posts/articles on them.
