Social Bookmarking Sites

There are hundreds of social bookmarking sites online. Professional webmasters use these sites in order to drive traffic to their sites. In order to have a list, you can go to Google.com and search for “social bookmarking sites” and a list of these sites will appear. You can now start registering and once your application is approved, you can then start bookmarking your posts, sites and other interesting items you found online.

Social Networking

Social networking sites are similar to social bookmarking sites but more interactive. Here, you are also allowed to communicate and send messages to other members of the community. Some social networking sites share revenue to its members. Similarly, to have a list of these sites, you can go to google search engine and type “social networking sites”.

Widget Box

So far, widget boxes are my most effective forms of driving traffic to my blogs and sites and marketing my work online. If you have a blog or site, you can make blidgets and a code of the blidget for this will be generated. In order to drive traffic to your site, you can attach the blidget in your signatures when you post comments in blogging communities or post it in your profile in social networking sites. This is working for me and I love making blidgets. It’s so easy. You better try it.

Email Marketing

If you have many friends and you have a listing of their email addresses, you can send them an email informing them of your work. Most of the time they will be interested, they will be curious what you’re up to so they will visit your site. The technique is to write interesting and informative articles so they will keep on coming back.

Forums

Many people love to participate in forums. I for one, have joined in almost 10 forums. I visit my favorite ones first, while the others, I do when I am done commenting in my favorite blogging communities.

Comments

Comments are very effective too. I do this everyday, posting comments in my favorite sites, blogs and communities. I get many pageviews using this method.

Profile

Your profile is very useful. These profiles can be in friendster, myspace, multiply and other social networking sites. Mostly, you are allowed to post your blogs and sites, as well as your recommended programs.

Directories

There are thousands of directories online where you can submit your blogs or sites. Submitting to them will boost your site’s pagerank as well as increase traffic to your sites.

Blog Directories

Directories accept weblogs and business sites, while blog directories specialize in blogs only. There are also thousands of blog directories online, to be listed in all of them will greatly boost traffic your site’s traffic. About 90% of them allow your blogs to be submitted for free.

Article Marketing

Article marketing is an old and proven method. Professional webmasters have been using this method for years and it has given efficient results. First step of the process is to write a well-written and well-researched article. Submit it to free article sites online. Free article sites and directories allow you to attach a resource box in the article submitted, containing the author name, what the author does and his website or blog.. Once it is approved and published, you will earn lifetime traffic. Many blog owners get articles from blog directories and as a rule, they have to attach the resource box also. This can happen again and again. As more and more people visit the article directory and the site where it was republished, you will gain more and more traffic.
