As you know, traffic is the life line of your business. To survive you need to have visitors to your website, specially those visitors who are keen to purchase your product and services. Getting such a targeted traffic for your website is a great challenge especially for the new ones. Social bookmarking can give you a hand! It can produce instant traffic to your website irrespective of its credibility or backlinks. Let us see how!
There are many ways of getting more and more traffic. One of the quickest ways of getting more of traffic is by pay per click advertising, but it can get expensive as you have to be quick in tracking conversation to be successful. Traffic for long term can be achieved by article marketing, it take lots of hard work and patience. But it’s very unfortunate that there is no magical formula for getting quick traffic. The process has to be well thought out and needs combination of approaches to make it work.
Getting traffic becomes easy when the methods which are overlooked are used with prime methods like paid advertising and article marketing. Social bookmarking websites can be used as an effective method.
Basic idea behind social bookmarking is to have more and more bookmarks saved online instead of saving on personal computer so that they can be shared by others too. Social bookmarking has come to existence since past few years and is a great phenomenon. Bookmark links in this online account exist in public pages of a social bookmarking site, which in turn count as a backlinks to your website. A back link from social bookmarking sites can have good amount of link value as it has high pagepank in google. Though Google has been decreasing the value it assigns to the social bookmarking links in last few years, but large set of such links can be useful in increasing the pagerank of your website.
Social bookmarking sites were set up so that people could share their bookmarks. As a result your bookmarks can get explored by the arrival of other people on your bookmarks. This helps in achieving social verification by getting listed on the social bookmarking sites and can get traffic directed to your website.
How can you achieve these social bookmarking links .There are hundreds of such sites and the most common being Furl, Delicious and StumpbleUpon. You have to just sign into these sites, download and install the given social bookmarking toolbar. You have to just find a site you have to promote, and click on the toolbar icon and it will create a bookmark for you. In some cases you may have to write some information about the site.
Main problem with social bookmarking technique is, bookmarking your own site as there is only one of you…so all you can get is only one link to your website. It can make you think that how you can be benefited by others. But you can even find someone like Submitera.com who can provide the social bookmarking service to your website for all the highly trafficated bookmarking sites at affordable rates.

Such a very nice written article. I agree to what you have said in this. Social bookmarking is really a big help to have a high traffic and another thing is, social bookmarking sites with higher page rank could really help the site to rank faster. For instance, you used ‘pool chemicals’ to bookmark your site, if you fortunately bookmarked this in social bookmarking sites with high page rank then, there is always a big possibility to rank the site as well as to get much higher traffic. This is the reason why, social bookmarking is one popular way in getting traffic and unique visitors.

Thanks for posted this helpful info on social bookmarking. I’ve had some success with social bookmarking, but I don’t think I do it enough. I’m not too concerned about getting direct traffic from social bookmarking sites, but if the one-way links they provide are nice.
