WebSite Traffic Generation With Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is a great way to generate free website traffic for your new site. You want to get your site ranked in the search engines so it gets a place in the search results for your keyword, so you drive attention to it via the social bookmarking sites.

The Basics

It’s no use having great content on your site, offering insight and value, if nobody knows it exists except yourself!

You must remember that search engines rank pages and not whole sites, so every important page must be optimized for it’s niche keywords then bookmarked, whether that be a money page or promoting page.

Why use social bookmarking you may ask? Because it’s an easy way to generate those valuable one-way backlinks that the search engines love so much! If you consistently promote every important page and every niche keyword, the search engines will notice and reward you.

Ok, so that’s the why, now for the how.

A good website traffic generating strategy just doesn’t rely on bookmarking in a couple of your favourite sites like del.icio.us and digg or reddit, you should use up to 20 different bookmarking sites.

Then when you have the knack of it, open up 10 different accounts in each of the 20 sites! That’s a lot of work I grant you, so you use a free automated software to help you, like Onlywire where you can submit any page to up to 33 bookmarking sites simultaneously at the press of a button.

A word of warning. Don’t go mad by submitting 200 bookmarks all at once because you will draw unwanted attention from the search engines. Make it look more natural by bookmarking only one or two accounts at each bookmarking site at a time. Follow up the following week with two or three more accounts etc.

Intensified Bookmarking

Ok, so now you have the basic strategy going, you can intensify the process by developing some promoter pages then bookmarking them too!

Build a promotion squidoo lens and a hubpage with links pointing back to the important pages on your site. Submit you blog to two or three blog directories and place the page URL you want to promote in your profile. Then bookmark them in the 20 different bookmarking sites and different accounts to draw the world’s attention to them also.

This map shows the website traffic generation strategy and how the links point to your money page.

Website Traffic Generation with Social Bookmarking

Using only four bookmarking sites there are 16 links to create, plus the links in the promoters and directories.

Every time you publish a podcast or video, make sure they are linked back to your web page using the appropriate keyword in the anchor text, then promote them with your social bookmarking campaign too.

Every time you promote and link, you are generating link love with the search engines, informing them that here is an interesting page!

There you go, it looks a little complicated at first, but it’s not and you’ll soon get the hang of it. So get going and generate some link love!

Sincerely,

P.S. Use this as an integrated campaign of traffic generation. Don’t rely on social bookmarking alone. Don’t forget your organic search engine optimization, or one day your rankings will slip!
