By far the fastest growing web sites on the Internet today are the social bookmarking sites. Fortunately for all webmasters alike these large sites aren't just for the major media and news sites, they can very easily be used to bring in a good flow of traffic to your sites as well.
In this article we are going to quickly cover the four most popular social bookmarking sites:
One of the most established and popular sites around today is Digg. Top stories submitted to Digg have been known to take down whole servers from the amount of traffic they send. If you operate a blog you can also look into getting the Digg widget that allows your users to easily Digg your own stories.
StumbleUpon is another fast growing site that is quickly gaining traction as a consistent traffic producer. It works by people downloading a toolbar and then stumbling sites they like or find interesting. Another feature of the toolbar is that it allows StumbleUpon to sell traffic for highly competitive markets at a decent price when compared to the main PPC providers.
Onlywire isn't really a bookmarking site by itself, instead it allows you to tag pages and send those tagged page to a bunch of sites at the same time like Furl and Delicious... This feature alone makes it a great time saving tool!
Reddit is a plain Jane no frills site where people can post stories and then vote on them. But don't let the simplicity discourage you from using it. Reddit has an Alexa ranking under a thousand so it has a huge reaching audience every day.
Don't expect a huge amount of traffic from any one of these sites in particular, however I find that for the amount of time it takes to submit to these sites is worth the steady stream of traffic you will get from them.
One important thing you should take note of is to not spam these sites or submit garbage pages to them. If you do you will only end up getting banned and losing out.
