Getting Traffic with Social Bookmarking

Well if you haven't heard about social bookmarking and using it to get targeted website traffic, plus getting your site indexed faster, then you may want to learn more about it.

I tried social bookmarking about 2 months ago to see if I could increase traffic to my website. And I was surprised that after a few hours I started to see more traffic. Now the increase lasted for about 3 weeks, then slowly decreased to the amount of traffic I had before bookmarking the site.

Now the downside is (depending on how many accounts you sign up for) it takes time to set-up. Then posting to each of the accounts will take more time unless you use a site like onlywire etc.

Now the upside is:

*your site is possibly indexed faster
*you are building one-way links back to your site
*if other's pick up your links then it may help with PR
*burst of targeted traffic to your site
and more...

So is social bookmarking going to help you get more web traffic? Yes for a time, but like any else you will have to work at it. Make social friends, pass on your links and keep working to promote your site.

Good luck!!!

Traffic thru Article Marketing!

Well from what I have read, one of the best ways to drive traffic, while building one-way links back to your site is through article marketing. Now since the whole idea of having a website and trying to sell a product online is to make a sale. But without traffic, what good is your site.

Since article marketing is one way to drive traffic to your site, I started writing. (Also because I am tired of the only traffic to my site is: that's right me).

So I set up a test page, because I want to see how well this works. I wrote a few articles and waited for the traffic storm to begin. After a few days I checked my stat counter and guess what, a few hits but not the numbers that I thought I would have.

Now the way that I understand it is, you write an article, submit it to a directory and then someone re-prints your article on their site with your link intact.

But what I found out, was the article marketing game has changed. Instead of my article with an intact link back to my site, I found a snippet of the article and the link was back to the article directory where I had posted the original.

So does this work? Only time will tell.
