Draw simply
Del.icio.us traffic to your site!
Syndicating your site's content through "social bookmarking" sites is a fun and functional way of generating traffic to your site. However, taking advantage of these sites requires more than simply putting the Del.icio.us button on your homepage. Becoming
active within the site's community will reap much greater rewards! Below are some suggetions to help you get the very most from social bookmarking sites like Del.icio.us.
- Again... become active! You can create your own page or pages relating to whatever! Ideally, you'll want to create a page(s) that are similar to the site you're trying to promote. Presumably, your site's topic is one that you love talking about!
- Become a social butterfly! The more people you touch base with on the site the more they will add you to their own lists. The more popular your page becomes the more it will be promoted!
- Back on your home site... keep the content fresh and current! A site that seems to have nothing but old content or appears to be inactive will drop quickly in the rankings.
- Put your Del.icio.us button in a prominent place on your web site. Encourage people to use it to add your site to their list. If your Del.icio.us link is where it can't be seen then you're not going to have many people using the link.
The process of using social bookmarking to increase traffic and visability takes time but can be very rewarding!
