Are you using social bookmarking to promote your web pages

Social bookmarking is a great way to get some attention to your new web pages. Social bookmarking will help your new web pages to get indexed quickly and if you web page take of on a social site you might even get more traffic than your web site can handle.

Posting to the socials sites can be done by hand site by site. This can be is very time consuming here are a few tips to get more results from your time.

One solution is to outsource your social bookmarking process to a SEO company. just google and you will find many companies. This will cost you but you get it done for all your articles and you can just ignore the whole problem all together and rely on it getting done. Time is after all the one resource you can never get back.

Another solution is to add buttons to your web site that allow your visitors to vote on a web page and submit the page if it is not already submitted (http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php for example). This is a good idea and you should to do. The problem is that you need the initial visitors to and only a few of your visitors will actually do the bookmarking. Still, do this and in your post, tell your readers to actually bookmark the site with the buttons. I have a plug-in installed in Wordpress that automatically adds button below the post, why don’t you test it yourself with this page.

A third option is to use a web service or program that will help you do the posting. Services like social marker, ( http://www.socialmarker.com/ ) and social poster ( http://socialposter.com/ ) are free and will take you through the social sites one after another and pre-fill the fields for you. This saves a lot of time but there is still a manual step.

I use all three of the above suggestions all depending on the page. When I have submitted a add some of the socials to the site-hype program to boost my votes.
