Bookmarking Tips
1. You wouldn’t try to run for Mayor your first day in town. Social Bookmarking sites are communities, and as with any community they often have tightly knit social hierarchies. Since you will need many, many votes to have a chance on the front page — it’s impossible to believe that you can get them your first time up to bat. Spend a little time looking around, see which stories become popular and how the titles and descriptions are crafted. Read the comments and see how the users of the site relate to one another. The only chance you have of success is if you take the time to understand the system. 2. It’s not all about you. The common misconception is that Social Bookmarking sites hate self promotion. It’s not that they hate when people submit their own material, it’s that they hate when people submit bad material with the expectation that it will be voted up. There is a standard of quality that almost all of these communities hold close, and it’s different depending on which site you happen to be submitting to (a story that would work on Sphinn might crash on Stumble Upon, for instance). Take the time not only to discover what content appeals to the site but also submit some that isn’t yours. Not only will it help you understand the system, but it will also help you build up good will. 3. Pick the right category. This is probably the most important point. Consider categories to be communities within a community. If you choose the wrong one, you’re putting your content out in front of an audience that isn’t interested in it. In the best of situations, poorly placed content will just be completely ignored. Take your time when choosing the category and take some time to see what material does well in a given category. This little extra effort will go a long way towards getting your content to the front page. 4. It’s about participation. This tip could also be called, “It’s about people.” The more visible you are on a site, the more likely you are to get votes. Comment, submit stories, join in discussions about the community. People often act on impulse, and if they recognize you as someone who submits great content then they will be much more likely to vote your stories up. Remember, this also works the other way around so behave. 5. Understand that it’s work. The Jack of all trades is master of none. Unless you have an obscene amount of time to devote to profile building, don’t try to become “front page worthy” on all the Social Bookmarking sites out there. Expect to spend 30 minutes to an hour a day on any of the sites you want to become a “power user” on. It’s much better to build an extremely strong profile on a small number of sites, than to have dozens of weak, useless ones. Find the niche that is most valuable for your type of content and build into it. It all comes back to sweat. If you want to do well in Social Bookmarking, you need to figure out whether it’s worth the time. There are dozens and dozens of ways to build traffic, and Social Bookmarking is only one of them. Weigh your options carefully and see which way is right for your business. Original by Steve Spalding |

Nice Tips, thanks for the share.
I'd Like to add a few more tips to those mentioned above: 6. MAKE IT EASY for your visitors to social bookmark your website. 7. BOOKMARK YOUR PAGES yourself. 8. SWAP BOOKMARKS with others who also want their pages bookmarked. 9. PARTICIPATE in the social bookmarking site. There are some services that don't feature much participation; others are very participatory. Where you have the option, develop a large friend's list, so that you can easily share bookmarks. 10. BOOKMARK OTHER PAGES that already link to your website. Don't just bookmark your own pages; bookmark those that link to yours as well. 11. IF YOU HAVE A LIST, ask them to bookmark any new page on your website that you want to generate traffic to. 12. HAVE OUTSTANDING CONTENT. Last edited by Mr_Sanders; 04-24-2009 at 02:11 AM. |

Social Bookmarking is one of the easiest ways to get extra traffic and links coming into your blog. Social bookmarking allows Internet users to save and organize bookmarks to a public website, tag them with keywords, share them with others, and browse what
others have bookmarked. Digg, Delicious, Mixx, and Digg are just a few of the social bookmarking sites you can use to maximize your exposure. |

Here are some more tips for Social bookmarking effectively:
1. Pay attention to your Headlines 2. Write a meaningful & short description 3. Have a great first paragraph 4. Content is king - first paragraph should be impressive but the remaining content should be good as well. 5. Make it easy for others to vote / bookmark your site 6. Know when to submit - On most social bookmarking sites you have only 24 hours to get to the front page and stay there. So, if you post when most users (and especially your supporters) are still sleeping, you are wasting valuable time. By the time they get up, you might have gone to the tenth page. 7. Submit to the right category 8. Build a top-profile 9. Cooperate with other social bookmarkers 10. Submit in English (preferably) 11. Never submit old news 12. Avoid automated bookmarking submitters 13. Respond to comments on your stories 14. Prepare your server for the expected traffic |

Don't Spam the SB sites. That's the bottom line there.:D
When getting other article news it must not be duplicate to other contents. :d
