How to get traffic from bookmarks!

    In my opinion these are the best social bookmarking sites:

    fark.com - this one gave me 10.000 unique users for one article...in one day! but this happened only once this month!

    digg.com - without this i would be dead... this site gives me constant traffic but only if I submit my articles to them!

    del.icio.us Although i have always submitted my articles to del.icio.us they never give more then 4-5 users within 24 hours...

    netvous.com This one only give me only 2-3 users a day!

    From this line on, all the social bookmarking sites are dead for me
    They give somewhere between 1-20 visits a day... at most.. witch i must say it is pathetic...
    What am I doing wrong here? Why is it that on digg i get from 100-1000 users for an article while reddedit.com for example gives me almost nothing!
    =======================================================
    furl.net

    spurl.net

    newswine.com

    reddit.com

    YahooMyweb

    Tehnorati.com

    blinklist.com

    tailrank.com

    rawsugar.com

    slashdot.org - this one gave me 3000 users a day after posting my article on their front page.... but since then nothing more...

    How can i improve this? I mean if I can at least get the same amount of users like i get from digg.com i for all the bookmarking sites that would be great, otherwise i will just have to give up all the other bookmarking sites and just rely on digg.com

    Also i am doing my best to submit original articles.. i am searching their databases at first before submitting my articles

    Any ideas how can i get more users??

    My site is called music-juice.com ! The link is posted on my signature!!! Looking forward for some ideas.....

    All of these social bookmarking sites are based on the same concept. Post content, people review it, if they like it they rate you (i.e. digg you ) or unrate you (i.e. bury ). To get traffic from any of these the solution is simple, just have friends to rate your articles and if have enough votes and enough luck you get their first page.

    stumbleupon.com is missing from the list - it's very good as well.
