Social Bookmarking
I have been amazed recently by the amount of traffic that can be brought in by submitting your pages to Social Networks and bookmarking sites. Here is a list of all of the sites I have begun to submit to:
Digg.com, Propeller.com, Reddit.com, Del.icio.us, Stumbleupon.com, Socialogs.com, Indianpad.com, Google.com/Bookmarks, Technorati.com, Furl.net, Diigo.com
Of course, some are better than others. I’ll find out more soon. There are others that I haven’t even started with yet. I wanted to take a sampling of what people think are the better ones first. So far, Stumbleupon is leading the way and driving hundreds of people to the posts I add. You can look at the Firestats in the sidebar of this site and see that instead of my usual 24 people within the last 24 hours it has boosted up to over 100 (and is growing). My other sites had as much as 300 new viewers in a very short amount of time. One thing I have noticed though is that many people only stop by for the page bookmarked and don’t venture around much. I hope that will change, but I guess any traffic is good traffic.
