Here are 5 ways to promote or drive traffic to your sites with social bookmarking websites:
- First step is to create a bookmark with your affiliate link. You can safely assume that each bookmark you create will be seen by at least 10 to 100 people initially. So do the math, creating 50 bookmarks on the sites below could get you 500 to 5,000 links/ visitors and beyond for free!
- Write a detailed description about how your site is useful to others. Think in terms of your viewers. What kind of description will be inviting for the reader to visit your site?
- Search for and add friends with similar interest (do not SPAM others). Join groups with common bookmarking interests and genuinely interact with others.
- Use many and yet relevant “tags” for each post. Other people using the bookmarking site will search for content based on tags, titles and description
- Encourage others to bookmark your link. The more people bookmark or rank your link, the higher it gets ranked by the bookmarking service.
Here’s a massive list of social networking sites ranked by Alexa Ranking and includes Google Page Rank information:

Thanks for this great massive list Brian! I am still working on getting traffic with my blog and articles but social bookmarking is on my list of traffic generation strategies so when I am ready I will definately come back to this list and use these sites to create lots of bookmarks!!!
Thanks again!
