Article marketing can be a beautiful thing. It can increase traffic to your website substantially. Writing and submitting interesting articles to article directories creates back links to your website that can be vital to increasing your website traffic. But, is there anything else you can do to attract even more readers to your articles (and to your website)?
Why not try spreading the word about your articles (and adding to your article marketing campaign) through the social bookmarking websites? Social bookmarking websites can raise awareness for your articles. What social bookmarking websites are, are a method for internet users to share, organize, search for and manage bookmarks of web resources. Unlike file sharing, the resources are not shared, only the bookmarks that reference them. In a social bookmarking system, users save the links to web pages that interest them and ones they want to remember or share with others. These sites can bring a lot of links to your website if your site is ‘bookmarked’ by a lot of individuals (especially people who share their favored links with others.)
There are several social bookmarking websites that are noteworthy. Here are a few for your reference:
- Twitter – with 760,750,806 inbound links (as of today) and approximately 23,579,044 monthly visitors. As you can see, that’s a lot of links and visitors for you to use to gain access to your articles and website.
- Yahoo Buzz – with 20,031,000 inbound links and monthly visitors of about 8,119,906. This is another site you may want to be involved with to promote your articles.
- StumbleUpon – with 234,000,000 inbound links and about 1,100,000 monthly visitors.
- Reddit – they have about 161,685,000 inbound links and 1,300,000 monthly visitors.
- del.icio.us – with about 427,665,000 inbound links and 1,623,083 monthly visitors at this time.
- Kaboodle – has 2,600,000 inbound links and about 3,041,292 monthly visitors
You can see that even if you used just the above six social bookmarking sites to market your articles, that you would receive a lot of promotional impact. Of course, there are many other social bookmarking sites, such as Propeller, Mister Wong, mixx, newsvine…among many others. But although it would be great to belong to all of them, it just may not be possible to keep up with all of them. Try sticking with just a couple to begin, and increase your list gradually as you can handle it.
Another great thing about the social bookmarking sites is that they are all free to join. You just have to sign up and start promoting your articles. Be sure to tell your friends about your articles on these sites so that they will begin the chain of passing your articles on to others.
Article marketing can involve many different channels. You do not have to stick with only one method to market your articles (and thereby your website). What you do need, however, is a lot of articles to make your article marketing campaign worthwhile.
