Social Bookmarking Sites

amandajane · 01-26-2008, 10:11 PM

Does anyone else here use the social bookmarking sites to get your blog name out there? I checked out a few today and I've got reddit and digg working now. I've had a few hits through them too, not bad for a first day.

Anyone have any advice about these sites? Any good ones you'd like to share?

Thanks!
Amanda

It depends on your type of content, but I find the best social bookmarking traffic comes from stumbleupon. I've had success with front page of reddit and digg, and all it does it send a massive amount of traffic that doesn't stick around. BUt if you have the right kind of post, you can make that more effective.

Digg and Delicious are also huge.

del.icio.us, digg, and stumbleupon seem to be the best pullers from what I can tell.

Wordpress automatically submits to

Stumbleupon
Del.icio.us
Digg.com
Reddit

Skellie recommends writing for Del.icio.us as a way to break into the Technorati Top 100 list.

In my experience, writing an article which becomes popular on del.icio.us results in a lot of inbound links, because many del.icio.us users have a daily or weekly link-dump they publish to their blogs. The post contains recent items they’ve bookmarked (which will hopefully include a link to you). This is an under-reported strategy and one I’m going to talk about in more detail sometime.

PS: Skelliewag is a great blog for bloggers. Everything she writes is gold.

I think it does. Indirectly.

Alexa (and Google's PR) are general indicators of a website's "popularity". Social bookmarking could help raise the exposure of a blog/website, which indirectly leads to better rankings.
