Social Bookmarking – All The Hype Broken Down

One of the most popular ways of brining traffic to sites is by using Social Bookmarks. These include Digg Reddit and NowPublic. And of course the ever so famous and widely used StumbleUpon. These sites allow you to display your sites to the entire social bookmarking community. This is especially useful if your site displays an interesting article or a unique script. This kind of marketing is extremely useful to get a spurt of sudden traffic. However, you can never expect this traffic to last. Though, some of your social bookmarking traffic will last in the form of repeated visitors.

There are two kinds of social bookmarking traffic. Good and Bad. Good traffic comes when people like your site and bad traffic comes when negative points are given. Either way your stats will show an enormous increase in traffic and even a few clicks for Adsense. Don’t expect any converts for this unless your site is something like a landing page and the visitor coming is interested in it (don’t count on too much).

They not only give traffic but also quality links to your site. Remember, don’t expect any revenue from this traffic, just be sure that your site name gets exposure.
