Social Bookmarking Traffic

People call it social bookmarking traffic, social marketing, social bookmarking, web 2.0 or new age marketing but the fact of the matter is this – you need to be using the social marketing websites to your advantage because there’s tons of free traffic to be had from them.

In my opinion, there are 4 things to social bookmarking you must do correctly in order to receive lots of traffic by using this simple technique.

The big names like MySpace, Facebook and the rest are not only dominating news stories now and people’s minds they are starting to play a really big part in driving traffic to marketers pages online. The problem though is this …

… social sites don’t like marketers! It’s true! So you have to be careful when you are using them that you don’t get banned or caught out. The key is to adopt this simple “4 H’s” approach;

• Humor
• Honesty
• Having Fun
• Helping People

As long as you can inject a little piece of humor into your social marketing profile or even just a little piece of who you really are then you will start attracting lots of friends and widening your network.

Also remember to help people. The more you can help people the more they will help you in return. So add useful links and recommendations to your profiles. Point people in the right direction and answer any questions people post on your profile or contact you with.

Have fun! That’s one of the great things about social marketing is that you can have lots of fun doing it. Meeting new people, learning new stuff and making money from the traffic that you get from it all at the same time.This way you will get a lot of social bookmarking traffic to your site.

You also need to maintain an honest approach throughout. No point uploading photos to your profile of P Diddy (or is it Puff Daddy) or Pamela Anderson pretending they’re. People want to get to know you so be honest.
