Driving Traffic Using Social Bookmarking Sites
Another way to drive potential subscribers to your site is by social bookmarking pages of your site.
DEFINING: “Social Bookmarking”
“Social bookmarking” is a way for people to organize and share their bookmarks – also known as their favorite sites online. When you bookmark a site, you can add “tags” (keywords”) to the bookmark so that others know what the site is about… and so that people searching for those keywords will find your bookmark.
The more people who bookmark a particular site, the higher it rises up the rankings on the social bookmarking site.
As such, bookmarking bland web pages isn’t going to help you out.
What you need to do is bookmark your viral content – your crazy videos and your shocking reports and articles.
Indeed, you should make it easy for people to bookmark your viral content.
Most of the popular bookmarking sites allow you to place their buttons on your site, which means people who have accounts at these popular services can bookmark it with one click.
Like anything in marketing, it’s always a good idea to create a call to action.
Specifically, tell visitors that you WANT them to bookmark your site. Doing so will help your viral content “go viral.”
Quick Tip: Sometimes you need to jumpstart your bookmarking. When you email your list about your content, ask them specifically to bookmark. Likewise, if you blog about it or post on forums about your content, ask people to bookmark it.
You may even consider forming “bookmark rings” where you bookmark your friends’ sites and they bookmark yours. But read the sites’ terms of service before attempting to use bookmarking rings.
Here are some of the more well-known and popular bookmarking services:
- Del.icio.us
- De.lirio.us
- Digg.com
- Yahoo! Buzz
- StumbleUpon.com
- Reddit.com
- BlinkList.com
- CiteULike.com
- BlogMarks.net
