Generating content online drives traffic – through search engines, article directories and increasinly through Web2.0 or social networking sites. Anyone who has been monitoring the explosion in the number of social networking sites will understand that keeping up with manual submission to each social networking site is nearly impossible, yet the benefit of being listed on these social networking sites can be substantial.
We operate a number of blogs that drives helps us communicate with our subscribers and customers of InfoMarkter’sZone and various other online businesses. Blogs generate the majority of traffic and sales for us today – a phenomenon that has only taken place over the last 12-months. Clearly, online marketing rules have changed.
Just as you had Pingomatic arrive to help bloggers submit their blogs to top blogging directories, we now see some very promising social bookmarketeting sites appearing and yes, they are certainly worth using saving you a load of time with lots of benefit to boot…
Here are my Top 5 social bookmarking resource sites:
1. Social Marketer – currently allowing you to submit simultaneously to 29 top social networking sites, I like this one for it’s simplicity and coverage.
2. Onlywire offers additional coverage with 22 social networking sites – some overlapping with social marketer, but others are unique, definitely worth the time to pickup the additional sites from socialmarketer
3, Blogbookmark is not technically a social bookmarking directory but certainly has worked for us as a social bookmarking site to bring in some decent traffic
4. Socializer covers all the really biggies like Reddit, Digg, Delicious and much more…definitely a top notch social boomarking resource
5. StumbleUpon – when I first started using this one I had limited results. However, if you take the time to become more involved in the Stumbleupon communities and boomark other sites you will notice that your own sites will begin to see some decent traffic
As you post new content in the form of an article, online newsletter or blog posting make sure you go ahead and use one of these social bookmarking resource sites to get your site maximum exposure in the new world of social networking directories.
