Use Social Bookmarking Properly

Social bookmarking sites can generate huge traffic for your website or blog. Being listed on the front page of a popular social bookmarking site can get tens of thousands of visitors to your blog. Some social bookmarking sites allow "do follow" links back to your site. These links will boost your search engine ranking.

Many people submit their blog to social bookmarking sites and expect tons of new readers to their blog. That's not quite how it works. The key word is "social". Social bookmarking sites are a community. In order to get more visibility for your posts you must be active on the sites. Add those with similar interests as friends, comment on posts that interest you and bookmark interesting sites other than your own. These things will get you and your bookmarks noticed in the community.

There are an overwhelming number of social bookmarking sites you can use to get new readers to your blog. It's impossible to stay active on them all. Choose 5 or so that you like and stick with them.
