Promote your site though Social Bookmarking

Social Bookmarking is a powerful way of getting a steady, loyal source of traffic, as well as improving your PR. Basically its user submitted news and bookmarking sites, where if someone stumbles upon a link that they like, they submit the link to these social bookmarking sites to share with others.

Examples of social bookmarking sites include Digg, Spurl, and Del.icio.us. Having your site listed on any of these sites will greatly improve your traffic and you may gain a steady audience.

The best part about Social Bookmarking for you, the webmaster, is that it is so easy to include in the footer of a post links for the reader to click on to submit your site to their favourite Social Bookmarking site. See the footer of this post for a working example.

There are many different scripts to add to your blog to include this footer widget. The one which I use is from a site called Beautiful Beta. The installation guide can be found at the previous link and involves copying and posting two pieces of code.

Another one is found at The BookMarketer which is also simple to use, however I didnt really think the appearance suited my blog.

There are many more which can be found via google using search terms such as 'social bookmarking widget'
