Increase traffic to your website using Web 2.0 - Using Social Bookmarking

Web 2.0 SOA Service Oriented Architecture Articles : Increase traffic to your website using Web 2.0 - Using Social Bookmarking by Al Carmona

In part one of this series we introduced you to the new and exciting technologies available at Web 2.0. Now we're going to show you one component of Web 2.0 allows you to share the content that you're publishing on the Internet. This technique is what is referred to as social bookmarking. Social bookmarking has exploded on the web. It allows users of social bookmarking websites to share links with other users and friends.
Let me give you an example

Take for instance, if I were to write content for my blog, social bookmarking would allow me to display my link for my content on many of those social bookmarking sites. For this example we'll use Digg, one of the most popular social bookmarking sites.

Let's say I've written a blog post about scuba diving. I would then go to Digg.com and sign up if I haven't already done that. I would copy the URL where my scuba diving blog post is located. Digg then allows me to create a bookmark including the URL I just copied, the title of the blog post which I'm bookmarking, and a brief description of the content of the blog post.

But how does it help me get more traffic?

It helps you get more traffic in more ways than one. First of all, these social bookmarking sites are highly ranked in Google. So if you have a new website that hasn't been ranked by Google yet, having your link on these high rank social bookmarking sites will help to increase visibility to your site. The topic of link building will be covered later on in another one of my articles. The point being, is that you want to sign up to as many of the social bookmarking sites as possible, and every time you create a new piece of content on your website or blog, you want to bookmark that page in the social bookmarking sites.

These sites are highly trafficked websites with lots of members. Members not only add their own bookmarks, but they can also view other user's bookmarks and add those bookmarks to their account if they think it meets their interests or hobbies. In other words it allows other users of the social bookmarking website to bookmark your content for you. So your link will be displayed more prominently throughout the web allowing people to click on your web link in many more places. Social bookmarking is a must use internet marketing technique. Give it a try and once you get the hang of it I suggest using tools to make your life easier when social bookmarking such as socialmarker.
