Daily I face clients who are looking for instant results in this space. If it was this easy, every Tom, Dick and Harry would have been Internet millionare. SEO is not a short-term strategy, It is surely not a one time deal. It’s on-going efforts that drives users and success to your site. [ Social bookmarking and article submission should drive some traffic to your site. both of them are great source of traffic with article submission converting more than bookmarking. however, this traffic will be instant and short lived. for long term traffic, you will need to continue your link building. just one time article submisison and social bookmarking will not rank any site well for competitive terms. do some of the link building yourself and keep building links as much as you can. most people fail or give up because they dont stick with it. SEO is a long term game and you need to have patience if you want to see some result. I do know that it is education issue.

Using social networking sites can also be a great source of traffic to your site. But it still takes time and persistance.
Social Media Networking sites can surely drive traffic to your site however % coming from sites like facebook and twitter is pretty low for most sites. Organic , word of mouth, press articles are still the best way to get traffic.
