Does anyone do this? / is it possible? I thought i read somewhere you can get a link/promote articles on there, but don't really understand the concept. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions?
I think they are similar to stumble upon. I am also interested on what kind of results people are getting with this
I try to bookmark my own pages. I figure it is just one more backlink and it may expose the site to new users. Stumbleupon tends to send a decent amount of traffic for a short period of time.
hmmm - sort of getting it now. so you post a site, and then bookmark it in your own account on del.icio? i am guessing that to become popular others must bookmark it too. the question is - how do people find you? also, why would i want to go on some external site, and search for links, then bookmark them? it doenst make much sense to me
I think with sites like del.icio.us, you'll get a surge of "curiosity" traffic if people see your URL getting heavily bookmarked by others, and possibly making the popular list. Done right, we could probably organize a campaign to bookmark each other's sites and get noticed. Feel free to get on there and bookmark my site, and let's see if we can't get my site on the front page!
they find you by searching for tags. So, it's important to tag each bookmark. I also use digg.com, simpy.com, spurl.net, newsvine.com, nestscape to name a few.
When you add a bookmark it get listed on the 'recent tags' page. If you provide something usefull or curious other people browsing the recent tags section will add it to their bookmarks and if 100,200 or 300 persons add the site it get listed on the 'popular tags' page for a short time. Sorry fot my bad english, italian user here, still learning the language.
