how to get more traffic to you website/blog

 the best way to drive traffic to you blog/website is by bookmaking

and here are some Top Sites for
Bookmarking Listed bellow
Delicious.com - A top
bookmarking
site that lets you
create a
collection of
links to favorite sites/articles/
lenses. You can
categorize your
list using
keywords, load
links from a mobile device
and create
groups of links
called "stacks"
that pertain to a
particular subject. The
more links a
site/article/lens
gets, the more
popular the page
becomes and the more traffic the
Delicious
bookmark sends
to the page. You
can see a Delicious links
here. Digg.com - A news site with
high authority
on Google - sites
listed in Digg
typically rank
high on Google even when there
are only a few
votes. Open a
free account and
start linking
your favorites sites and articles,
vote on other
users lists. Sites
voted and shared
among others on
Digg that end up on the Digg
homepage get
LOTS of traffic
from other
bloggers and the
webosphere..xxxx  DZone is a great place to
bookmark
articles for the web development community--php,
secure
passwords,
stacks, cloud
applications--if
any of those or other
development
topics are what
you write about
then DZone is
where you want to list your
article links.
DZone tends to
stay arounf the
top 3,000 mark
on Alexa. Facebook "Like" or get "Liked"
using
Facebook's
"Like" button.
"like" your own
articles and posts to share
them with
others on your
Facebook
account.
Facebook is technically a
"networking"
site and not a
bookmarking
site. However, it
can be used as a bookmarking
site and should
be added to
your list of sites
to update when
adding new web content. Feedage is a twist on the
bookmark idea.
Instead of
posting direct
links to your
articles and website pages,
you post a link
to your RSS
feeds. It is very
popular and
ranks on Alexa with a global
rank of 6,222. Google+ is the latest addition to
social scene.
What's great
about Google+ is
that you can
beak down your followers into
circles which
allows you to
pick and choose
who sees what
posts, links and photos you
want to share.
Put all your
Squidoo friends
in one place,
gather potential or current
business
connections in
another and
keep the family
in a third. It's a Google product
so guess what
happens to well
trafficked
users? LinkedIn is a sharing site for
professionals. If
Squidoo, your
personal blog or
your website
are professional endeavors, then
LinkedIn is
where you need
to be sharing
your links. Ping.fm allows
you to update all
the major sites
at one time--it's a
real time saver
and technically a social
bookmarking
tool. You do
need to have
accounts at each
of those sites-- Facebook,
Twitter,
Delicious, Digg--
before using
Ping.fm. You can
even instant message, too. Pinterest is a site that likely needs
no introduction.
Based on sharing
favorite images
found across the
web, registered users create "pin
boards" with a
topic and
proceed to "pin"
or link the
images they find pertaining to
those topics.
This is a huge
site for
manufacturers
such as funriture makers, fashion
houses and
accessory (home
and fashion)
makers. You will
find most of the top food and
product
manufacturers
from the U.S.
(Hershey's,
Proctor and Gamble...) using
this site to
promote
product sales. If
your articles are
imaged based, this is a great
place to
promote links--
but subtlety is
important. If all
you link are your own
articles, others
will pickup on
that quickly and
you could get
ignored. At last check, Pinterest
was ranked 38
on Alexa. Reddit bills itself as "the front
page of the
Internet". It's a
news based site
that is focused
on timely, shocking and
sometimes
ridiculous news.
Folks vote on
their favorite
bookmarked pages allowing
the best stories,
or most
ridiculous
depending upon
how you see it, rise to the front
page and go
viral. This can
drive lots of web
traffic to the
page, so if you post a lot of
current, tragic,
shocking or
funny stories
this is the site
for you. FYI: I recently
attempted to
submit a Squidoo
link to Reddit
and found out
they do not accept Squidoo
links. :-o Oh well,
I suggest using
Reddit for your
other online
properties/ pages. Technorati - A Google
recognized
authority
offering links to
blogs. You can
claim your own blogs, bookmark
other blogs and
posts, and tag
your blogs so
others can find
you. Twitter can be used to
broadcast your
latest posts or
forward a post
someone else
has made that you think is
topnotch. Do it
in 140
characters or
less called a
"tweet". To shorten those
url addresses
use tinyurl or a
similar service
(for FREE!). Viadeo is not really a
bookmarking
site. Instead it is
a networking
site for
professionals and ranks
around the 400
mark on Alexa.
(That's
right--400, not
4000!) If you are writing articles
about your
profession, you
can link to them
in your profile
and reach your target audience--
FAST!

post here. Sites F - K Freelink.org is a simple
bookmark site
that allows you
public or private
viewing of your
links. It's a great place to keep
track of your
links, as most
bookmark sites
are. It is owned
by NetQuick, a software design
company, but it
doesn't seem to
get a lot of
traffic as of this
writing. Gather.com is a high ranking
(1278 on Alexa)
networking site
similar to
Squidoo. Writers
share news stories and
posts

a site called
Skyword to be approved.
However, you
can signup for

twist. It boasts a
visualization tool

organize links

that looks a bit
like a buisness
review site. It
links directly to
blog and website address from
the users link
heading. KaBoodle.com is a shopping share
site where
members share
links to great
products and
associated reviews with
each other. It
may be a bit of
work, not unlike
our own
Squidoo, but if you write about
fashion, home
appliances, home
furnishings or
other such items
it could be worth the effort.
