Have you tried using social bookmarking websites to bring in more traffic? When you’re able to hit the front page through your listings, you can generate more or less 20,000 site visitors everyday.
It’s not really difficult to arrive at the front page. If you’re successful with del.icio.us, digg and Reddit, you can obtain the front page spot multiple times.
Follow these steps to ensure success:
1. Give particular attention to the headlines. It should be catchy to get noticed in social bookmarking websites.
2. Write short but meaningful descriptions. Headlines should contain meaningful descriptions; a provocative statement that maintain accurate facts.
3. The first paragraph should be great. Even if the first two levels are well constructed, users will immediately leave if the first part is bad.
4. Content is King. The content should not be trashy; otherwise, there is no reason to bookmark it at all. You can’t get repetitive visits if the content is not very good. By posting junks persistently, social bookmarking sites might even ban you.
5. Others should be able to bookmark or vote your site with ease. Try to provide a bookmarking key at the end of your article so that others can bookmark the site with ease.
6. Know the perfect time to submit. Timing is crucial to get to the front page. You’re given 24 hours to submit. Experts say that it’s better to submit at 3pm based on US Central Time. Submitting before 10am is not a good idea.
7. Find the precise category and submit. If you submit in general categories, you can’t get noticed.
8. Try to make a top profile. You can post links to other interesting sites to build your profile. One-site links can be suspicious because it’s like self promotion.
9. Try to cooperate with fellow social bookmarkers. Having friends to back you up is advantageous. Make sure that at least 15 of your friends vote you after submittal. Oftentimes, other users will support for you as well.
10. Use the English language unless you’re posting in non-English websites.
11. Old news is a big ‘no’. You can’t become a valued user if you submit old news.
12. Always check the facts that you’re using to avoid sarcastic comments.
13. Make sure you check the spelling of all the contents before posting.
14. Choose your topics well because not all do well in bookmarking sites.
15. Keep links on popular and related articles so hat users will stay longer.
16. Newsletter subscriptions, RSS feeds, and affiliate marketing should be placed in visible places.
17. ‘Automated submitters’ is not the perfect solution since it can damage your profile.
18. Reply to all the user comments you receive.
When you arrive at the front page, your site must be prepared for a surge of traffic to avoid server crash.
