How To Increase Traffic By Adding Blog to Social Bookmark Sites

INCREASE SITE TRAFFIC VIA SOCIAL BOOKING

If you wish to increase traffic to your blog you should add your blog and / or specific posts within your blog to social bookmark sites. You should put social bookmark site icons below all your posts to enable your visitors to add your posts instantly to them. You can add one social bookmark instead of many to avoid the clutter.

Before adding this you may want to monitor your traffic to see how it increases. To do this add Google Analytics code to your template. Using Google Analytics which is totally free, you can monitor where your visitors are coming from.

About Social Bookmark Sites

Social Bookmark sites are highly ranked by Google. Having your link on these sites is like submitting your blog to directories. The Google spiders follow these links and index your site even if you have not submitted your blog to the search engines. By adding your blog/posts to these sites you are increasing the backlinks to your site. By increasing your backlinks you also increase the Page Rank of your blog.

Before adding your blog keep the following information ready in a Notepad file :

1. Blog URL/link.
2. Post URL/Permalink.
3. Blog Title.
4. Post Title.
5. Blog/Post Description.
6. Your EMail address.
7. A short excerpt from your post/blog.

To add your blog/post to a social bookmark site simply click the "Add Bookmark" button below every post or go to the site and register. Registration is free. After registering look for a 'Submit Blog' link in the menu on the site. Click the link, fill in the form and press "OK" or similar. Other members of the site get to vote on your articles and if they are interesting enough they rise to the top of the list and attract more traffic to your blog.

I will be adding to the above list as I keep finding them. Add your blog to five sites every day/week so that you don't get bored. Make sure that the content on your site is relevant. Do not add to Youtube if you do not have any videos or information on videos for instance.

In my next post I will show how to find out where your visitors are coming from.

Ciao! And thanks for stopping by!!
