Social Bookmarking traffic is FREE. It’s also targeted and if done correctly will help boost your reputation online. Social Bookmarking is user rated web content. Instead of search engine spiders crawling your content pages and using an algorithm to determine the site ranking actual people rate your content.

If you frequent sites like www.digg.com you’ll see this in action. Web content that users liked the most has more “diggs”. You can use this tool in your online business but you have to be careful and do it right or it can come back to bite you. When you are submitting your web content to social bookmarking sites keep in mind it is a community of real people. Their response to your material will be quick. So make sure you are bookmarking useful relevant information.

Your title should match your content. Make your titles interesting. The top rated titles on digg.com are catchy and convey the content at the same time. Remember it’s the title of your bookmark that will convince people to click.

You will also need to write a clear concise description for your bookmark. Don’t give all your secrets away when you write one, but pique your readers curiosity. Make them want to click on your bookmark to see more. And when they do get to your page make sure you deliver. There is so much garbage masquerading as quality content on the internet that unique helpful advice is immediately noticed and liked.

Ease into a new social bookmarking site slowly. Don’t bookmark a bunch of links all at once. Doing so could cause you to be labeled as a spammer. When you bookmark your blog posts make sure you bookmark the individual post, not the entire site. Each post is considered a new piece of content, while the site itself is considered just one regardless of how many posts your blog contains.
