How to Use Social Bookmarking Sites to Increase Traffic?

The importance of SEO lies in the fact that you are visible on the first page of SERP. The same concept applies to social bookmarking site where if you are visible on the first page you will receive more traffic. The task is not all that difficult and needs the use of wit and logic (everyone has them and if you do not have them then hmm I guess you will need a physiatrist, lol).

Heading of the article serves a greater purpose then just being a title to the post. It is in fact an attractive news headline which catches your attention and forces you to watch the full news story. Similarly it is important for you to have a catching headline for your articles which should have the potential to force the candidate to click further. For example heading "Hire a SEO Company to increase traffic to your site" is much interesting than "SEO company can increase website traffic".

The short description is another important part where you can use magical words to draw people to your site. It should be so written that it gives a slight hint to the content of the article but does not reveal the most exciting or interesting part of the article. One thing to remember here is different sites have different word limit for writing the short description. Hence check on this before you write a big long description.

The headline and the short description will make the reader come to your site but it is the first few paragraphs which will force them to read it in full and click through the targeted links. This makes it clear crap content should be avoided or else the consequences can be harsh to the extent your site might be banned from social bookmarking sites.

Recommendations from others are more effective than those given by you. Likewise it is more useful if your site is bookmarked by others. To make the process easy for them you can put a bookmarking button towards the end of the article. For those who use CMS you can check for the extension for adding Del.icio.us, dig and other buttons. For HTML users the process is quite easy simply go to the social bookmarking site and copy the code. Add the code to your page and you will have that site's button on your page.
