Are you just starting out with your blog and trying to figure out how to get people to visit and read your posts? One of the easiest ways to get free or cheap traffic to you site is to submit your posts to the social bookmark sites like StumbleUpon, and Digg. Try this method to boost your blog traffic and see what results you get.

It goes without saying, new content is essential to submission. Social network sites certainly are interested in your new content that you’ve posted to you site but they only want to hear about it once and they want it fresh. Don’t spam the network sites and don’t spit out the same old stuff. Make your content of interest and value and people will come to read. Develop a reputation of providing valuable content and you will gain loyal readers and potentially many subscribers too. Aim to post new content daily. If you can manage five new posts a day that would be a great practice for the first month. In 30 days you will have 150 posts! If you can’t manage five then try to do four. Okay, three at the least. You’re trying to gain traffic and add value to your site so take the time to develop some articles worth your visitor’s time.

With every new post you make to your blog, submit the page to the social networks. There are over 30 main social bookmarking sites. To submit each one manually would take time and create a huge headache for you. Here’s a shortcut for a good chunk of them. Go to OnlyWire and register for all the social bookmarking sites they are associated with. They are listed individually with a link to go to the individual site registration pages. You only need to do this once for each one, giving a user name and password for each (make it the same if you can) and then you’re set. You can now bookmark the “Save Page” (OnlyWire will explain how) for one click social bookmarking. Now, every time you place a new blog post you simply click the Save Page bookmark and a form will appear with the name of the page and the blog post URL filled in. All of the bookmark sites you signed up for will be selected. Just click “Bookmark Page” and your post will be submitted to all of the network sites you registered with.

Aiming for five posts a day, that’s five submissions to the network sites a day and 150 social bookmarks for your site every month. If you also submit each of your blog posts as articles to the various article directories you will gain more links back to your site and potentially even more visitors. Keep it up and you can sit back and watch the traffic flow in!

A lot of people are using the Web for a number of reasons. Some use the Web in order to find certain information that are related and relevant to their field of expertise and specialty, while others merely just search for particular subjects that they want to save for themselves, which could later on be viewed again, and maybe be used for whatever purpose that the user had in mind. You can even get the information that you are seeking from e-mails of other people, or from subscribing to several newsletters, as well as use search engines to uncover the resources that you may need.

Back then, people would organize their bookmarks of online resources using folders in the Web browser, an inefficient way of organizing since people may need to save a resource that is relevant to a number of categories, thereby saving the bookmarked online resource in a number of different folders.

This can be a bit difficult to handle, especially if people need to find the references that they have saved in order to send it to other people through e-mail. Now that social bookmarking is possible, people are now able to create a web of resources and connections without being limited in its applications and operations in the same way as people would be when they did not use social bookmarking.

Social bookmarking, in this case, allows its users to easily and efficiently direct people to the resources or references that they have been able to search, locate, tag and saved. By using only relevant keywords, the user who was able to tag the social bookmarked website can direct people to the website or Web page that they have saved and bookmarked just by looking at the keywords used by the user.

Social bookmarking has been developed based on the bookmarking capabilities of certain websites, thereby making it a whole lot easier for people to not only organize information and categorize resources, but also make social connections with other people who may be interested in the topics or subjects that they have tagged and bookmarked for themselves.

In social bookmarking, people can see who created each bookmark on a particular topic or subject in a particular Web page or website, as well as allows the other person to have easy access to that other person’s bookmarked resources or references. Aside from this, its users can also see all the other users who have used a particular tag or keyword, allowing them to search for all relevant resources and references about the same topic or subject.

Social bookmarking opened a lot of doors for its applications. Nowadays, people not only use social bookmarking for saving and categorizing resources and references, but they take advantage of social bookmarkings web of social connections, using it as a vessel for online marketing for a lot of online businesses, which is proving to be a very effective tool. People also use social bookmarking as a means to improve and boost their site’s traffic, as well as a way to improve their ranking in search engines.
