Everyone who submit content to social bookmarking services, article directories and other sites, makes comments, votes and links to content which can be good or bad, are using Web2.0.


With social bookmarking you can store web addresses important to you, and let other people with similar interests view them as well, this will have a huge impact on your business.So, submit your website to a social bookmarking site and target the audience.It is also very important to visit other peoples links and vote for them.

Your activity in these sites is measured all the time.If you only submit your own content, you will quickly be seen as a person who abuses the system and might get banned. You need to interact with other people and build your contact network.The people who you make friends with on the social sites are the ones that should bookmark and vote for your content.

1. Do a search to find bookmarks related to yours on the social sites.

2. When you write a new blog post or article, submit the URL to social bookmarking sites. Also submit other peoples content to the social sites to avoid your account looking like a spam account.Remember to tag your post properly.

3. You must keep your website/blog updated with fresh content weekly.Avoid duplicate content, write your own articles if possible.When people find excellent content on your site, they will visit you over and over again. Relevant, unique and interesting content is one of the most important things.


4. You need to market your site regularly, I prefer on a daily basis.It does not have to be for many hours per day, just do something.Make a post in a forum or make some new friends at the social sites. My advice is to join the biggest sites first, read the FAQ-section of how to use the site and then get involved, participate!

There is a lot of information about Web2.0, social bookmarking and linking techniques on the internet.It is wise to learn from people who are doing it successfully and then use the strategies to increase your website ranking and traffic.

Social Bookmarketing is DEFINITELY a much underused facet to online marketing. Especially for big corporations. There are so many useful services out there now as well to make managements of it all much more reasonable too.

The biggest selection of traffic I get comes from some well done StumbleUpon submissions. I love it!
