Hey, I noticed you haven't subscribed yet! If you'd like to be notified the next time I write something, you may want to sign-up for email alerts or subscribe to the RSS/Atom feed. Thanks for reading!

I apologize for this article being “late”, but it has taken me the last couple of days to write. It’s hard work compiling, verifying and describing such a large list of links but alas on with the story…

So, some of you may know this, but I would bet that many others of you do not…that you can get a lot of traffic from social bookmarking websites. You can get this traffic by submitting your website or blog to social bookmarking websites. There’s a lot of spam out there and I really suggest that you don’t contribute to it, therefore try to bookmark or share sites that have interesting or useful information on them. It should be pretty easy for most bloggers to do this, since most of you have interesting or useful articles on your website. Now, the decision is to choose one or two articles that you want to promote and get to work. And, I didn’t mention the word “work” lightly, it will be a bit of work but it’ll be well worth it.

All social bookmarking sites will require you to make a profile on them individually. You’re ahead of the game if you have an account on a couple of the bigger ones such as Digg or StumbleUpon (if not, no worries). What I would suggest is that you submit your website to as many social bookmarking sites as possible, at least once (or more if it’s a different story or article). Entice your users to do the same thing if they liked a particular article or story. There are a couple of add-ons for WordPress that allow this, one is ShareThis and the other is Sociable. Just don’t re-submit your articles under different usernames from the same machine…this would be considered spam and would be causing an unfair advantage to your stories. You also shouldn’t need to spam, as users will come to your site if they’re interested…they won’t if they’re not. You can’t trick people, well you can but what’s the advantage?…you’ll just be making people angry.

Without further ado, let’s make a list of the current bookmarking sites out there so you can get started!

If that’s too much work for you, I found a cool tool called Bookmarking Demon. It allows you to automatically apply for new user profiles and submit your site(s) to a ton of bookmarking services. It’s all automated and while it’s not free, if you believe time is money, I’m sure the tool will pay for itself within the first hour of use.

Well that’s it, so get bookmarking away and market your site(s)!! Hey, if you liked this article, bookmark this somewhere ;). Also, if you know of any other sites that I missed or anything else, let me know! Until next time…
