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 step to any of this is to get your website blog post completed or your article done or any page on your website ready for your target audience. Once the page itself is done and ready to be "bookmarked". This is a simple process of adding links back to your page.
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.
The url or web address that you're prompted for should be relatively self-explanetory. In any case, you need to make sure that you're using the web address of the exact blog post instead of just the main domain name of the website.
Tags are another thing you'll be prompted for when bookmarking your sites. These tags are basically keywords, usually 1-2 word keyword phrases that can be used to identify relatively broadly the article or blog post. As tags, you should use both a main keyword phrase that you're trying to get ranked as well as some of the more broad keyword phrases that better represent what people on these social bookmarking sites will actually search for. These sites are a lot like a search engines that people use to find very relevant updated content on their search topics.
These are some relatively easy ways to get traffic back to your website. One of the things about this is that it becomes difficult to stay organized. I personally don't try too hard to stay organized on this as I do have analytics installed on my website so I can track where most of my traffic comes from. You'll tend to see patterns that some sites will work better than others at generating traffic. - 16955
