What Can Social Bookmarking Sites Do For Your Website
By kathy jhones
To use social networks in order to make your website growing on popularity, it necessary to understand the benefits that the social bookmarking sites can bring to you, and in my opinion are many.
The social bookmarking site work like your own favourite/bookmarks in your web browser, when you see a site that you like, simply add it to your account as you would have added it to your browser bookmarks. The difference with the browser bookmarks is that those bookmarks you add to your account are visible to all the users of the network you are signed in. This is the best think about this services, because if somebody likes your bookmarks, it may get popular in a very short time.
The most popular are Stumble Upon, Technorati, Reddit, Slashdot, Propeller, Digg, del.icio.us and many others.
This sites can be really useful for your business or your website. You can use them to attract targeted visitors and they work better that many other services that you can find out there. Stumble upon, one of the most popular, which has some restriction like it does not allow self-promotion, in fact it will ban all the accounts that don”t follow they terms and conditions. Although allows you to make a profile page which is advantageous for promoting your self.
An other one is Delicious that does not have the same restrictions of Stumble Upon. The reason is that the users do not have to vote for the submitted content. In Delicious you are allowed to bookmark any page of your website you wish and you can organize your bookmarks giving them tags as if you were using folders in your web browser.
Digg is a news type site where the main difference with the others is that the community decides what has to began more popular. You can vote someones content by digging it.
The next social bookmarking is Diigo. This, as themselves say Diigo is two services in one it is a research and collaborative research tool on the one hand, and a knowledge sharing community and social content site on the other. People use Diigo for a variety of reasons, like seeking jobs, make a personal shopping lists and many students use it to keep track of their research.
A very nice one, it is just my opinion, is Clip marks.com, with this site you can actually clip off a whole or a part of a web page like text, images, video that users find interesting to share while surfing the web. An other option is that when you find people who post clips that interest you, you can make them a Guide.
So lets see in short what those sites can give to your business or website
First you”ll increase your site ranking by getting quality back links.
If your site is appreciated, the community will make it popular in very short time.
Social bookmarking can be a very cheap way of advertising for your site.
And for last but not least, all the traffic you receive from this site is all quality traffic.
