Social Bookmarking

    How exactly can social bookmarking be used to promote my BANS site? I have read on other forums that sites like Stumble Upon will get you a lot of traffic through your site but no one buys anything and you will eventually get banned by the ePN. How can I reconcile this?

    Well, it is true, that Stumble brings you bad traffic, but it does not get you banned, if you do not abuse it.
    And there are different other Social bookmarking and social networking sites that you can use. Take for eyample Facebook, create a group about BANS (whatever that is), add some news, update it and invite people to join the group. Post links and news from your website and people will come.
    Easy. But it requires work.

    if you do social bookmarking, do it to get backlinks but not traffic. stumble traffic is useless and non-converting so its not only useless but also puts yuo at risk with your publisher since you will be generating lot of impressions without any result

    The whole purpose of SB is to attract traffic because some SB has no follow and with a no follow there's no link juice to it and it's useless.

    who says su traffic has no value? It has done wonders for my blog........
    We cannot label it has value/ no value. It is depending on what kind of content you have to offer......

    well maybe its rubbish traffic, but you have an opportunity to convert it. Imagine you use stumbleupon and find a good site, maybe you then bookmark it and become a regular visitor of this site. I understand what you mean, but think most traffic is welcomed and shouldn't be underrated

    SB sites also provide some good links. I check my Google Webmaster Tools and find hundreds of Google-recognized links from SB sites. Social bookmarking websites are not all nofollow. Plenty of them are dofollow.

    It will be hard to promote a BAN store in StumbleUpon. Don't expect any sales at all.
    The traffic for StumbleUpon is good for humor / entertainment / celebrity niches.

    SB is good, but do you think there is also value in sites like twitter.com and http://www.cirip.ro
    I think there are some good links and traffic to be had from these micro blogging sites.
