Using social bookmarking or social media websites is a relatively easy way to get traffic to your website. These resources can be used very successfully to not only help your website with getting direct traffic from these sites, but also help with getting your website into the search engines for the keywords you're going after.
The first thing you'll need to do is create the original content you're attempting to get ranked into the search engines. Obviously you'll have to have something before you can bookmark it or add it to social media websites. So, do your keyword research and then begin to create your blog post.
There's a site you can use called socialmarker.com which will help you get started with social bookmarking. What this site does is allow you to quickly bookmark one article or blog entry on multiple sites. It frames each of the "add bookmark" pages then allows you to click and drag the same description, URL, and tags into each of the bookmarking sites. The first time you go to this site, if you haven't already, you'll need to add new accounts for the bookmarking sites you'd like to use.
The first thing you'll add is a title. This title should not only include the blog post title or article title, but should also include the main primary keyword phrase that you're trying to use to get rankings. If you can start with this as your title, you'll have a better chance of getting ranked for those keywords.
When you bookmark your site, you'll also be prompted with a description that you'll want to include which should have in it your keyword phrases as well. This description should also be a strong call to action. People will often read or scan this description and make their decision on whether they click through or not. These social bookmarking sites are still another click away from your website.
You'll be prompted for your web address which you'll need to supply. Just make sure this is the web address for the exact page that you're trying to get ranked or "deep linked". If you use the main domain instead of the specific article or blog post page, you'll get those links blocked because they'll be duplicates. Basically, make sure you're bookmarking only individual pages assuming you've already added bookmarks for the main domain using your most appropriate keyword phrase for the entire site.
Tags are also important because they are what you'll use to get the individual "tag" pages ranked. These tag pages, especially using the long tail keywords or keyword phrases with little competition. This means that you can leverage the search engines to the point where you get not only your blog post ranked, but possibly several of your individual bookmark pages ranked including the tag pages.
These social bookmarking sites are a great way to get relevant links back to your sites and depending on which ones you use will have a very high "authority" in the eyes of the search engines. These sites can also help you generate a significant amount of traffic all by themselves. The majority of these sites also allow you to create profiles in which you can usually add links to whatever site you want to as well which will also help with the search engines and your overall traffic strategy. - 16890
