Social Web Tips

Now if you are wondering what social bookmarking sites are, they are the ones which send you traffic before even Google or any search engine does. If you use it the right way, then you can get thousands of people to your site very quickly. But don’t over do bookmarking. Start slowly and then make the process more efficient.

Social bookmarking sites allow you create a user profile where you can store your bookmarks or the votes you gave for any site. You can also add friends to your profile and talk to them. Few social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon and Digg allows you to ask for votes through something called the “Shoutout”.

Here are some of the best social bookmarking/voting sites:

Digg: Digg is one of the biggest social voting sites and it has a very large number of people. Not all type of posts do well in Digg. If your site is about technology, there are more chances of your story to become famous and hence get you more traffic. If you have a site which is about making money, then it is a little tough to get your site famous there. But if your story becomes popular in Digg, you will receive a minimum of 10,000 visitors and you might even get 75,000 visitors if your story is about Apple iPod or Mac computer.

StumbleUpon: StumbleUpon is a site which can send traffic to your site no matter which niche your site belongs to. Even four votes can get you 100 visitors which is not possible in Digg. StumbleUpon has the potential to send 10,000 visitors to your site if your article is voted by many people.

Del.icio.us: Del.icio.us is a site which has the ability to send targeted visitors to your site. The traffic from Del.icio.us is same like StumbleUpon and it will even send you traffic long term.
