I have been blogging for a couple of months now and have used stumbleupon to bookmark my posts and generate some extra traffic. Do you bookmark your own posts with a number of different social bookmarking sites? If so, which sites? And what are the main benefits - traffic, links or both? Thanks
Stumbleupon- here my friends have my niche as their interest so i enjoy submitting own posts b'coz it's informative to them...
Yeah sometimes I do. However most of the times I ask my friends to do it to increase the effect, especially on StumbleUpon
Yes, I bookmark my own blog posts if I think they will be interesting for the users. I don't bookmark all of them. Only the most useful of them. And I use mainly 19 bookmarking sites, I listed in my offer thread (I'm not advertising).
Im with you MRGEE.... I don't bookmark, tag or share all of my posts. The interesting posts I do share with a few online communities, but for the most part I keep them to myself.
http://www.bloggeries.com/forum/blog-marketing/1634-social-marker.html Came across this today. You can automatically do it for 30 at a time. I'll be trying it in the not to distant future.
so i guess bookmarking helps in the initial stages? any of u guys have any bookmarking sites to share?
http://www.blogmarketingtactics.com/social-bookmarking/social-bookmarking-top-links.html It's not a bad think to bookmark your own posts. This way you give them more exposure and useful content for the social bookmarking site.
If you don't have search engine traffic or it's too low and your expectations are from socail bookmarking sites, you should bookmark your own posts, because how would you expect someone to bookmark your posts, when they don't even get to them.
I don't bookmark every post but I do tend to sumbit the really good ones. I blog because I want people to read what I say and I find that social bookmarking sites like stumble upon get your content in front readers that may not otherwise see it. Some people have said that bookmarking your own site is sad. I would say that spamming social bookmart sites is sad. Bookmarking good content, however , is smart. I find that first time visitors that come from social bookmark sites are about 400% more like to to subscribe to my RSS than those coming from search enigines.
