For a webmaster to survive in the highly competitive world of internet marketers, he needs to promote his website to attain the much coveted goal – increased traffic. A number of ways to improve a website’s traffic has been discussed and tested. Some were able to give the desired result of increasing traffic while others have miserably failed.
A few years back, another way to generate traffic was introduced – the social bookmarking. Prior to the internet boom, socializing means joining social circles or groups that shared your interests. Be it a garden club, a book reader club or a needlecraft club as long as you will be able to share your thoughts and ideas.
Social bookmarking is basically the same. It is a means of getting connected with people who share your interests. The only difference is that it is done on the web. Aside from connecting people, social bookmarking is an exciting way to generate traffic and of course a most productive source of internet income.
Digg.com is one of these social bookmarking sites. Digg would literally send tons of visitors to a website. Once your submitted page is bookmarked, thousands of visitors would rush to your site. Basically, every one can use Digg for free. You can submit as many pages of stories, videos, pictures and articles as you want. You just have to register to join the Digg society. Signing up with Digg will provide you with the chance to choose buttons that you can add to your blog posts. These buttons will allow your readers to easily “Digg” your post. The “Digg” will signify vote for the content. The article that has the highest number of “Digg” will naturally be on the Digg front page. On the other hand, stories that do not have enough “Diggs” will go down the ranks and will eventually be “buried”.
When a webmaster’s Digg link or button is clicked, the visitor will be sent to the Digg site. After logging in, the site will appear as URL and the visitor may post a message or a comment about the site. Think of all the traffic you will get and the links Digg will point back to your site. Your web traffic will surely be increased every time visitors log into Digg. Backlinks is a very effective traffic generator.
Signing up with Digg will be very profitable to a webmaster’s business venture. Because Digg pages almost always rank high in Google, readers will easily find your submitted pages and will click on your website thus generating instant traffic. Digg, as a social bookmarking site will give the webmaster the chance to get connected with other people with the same interests, a reputation of being specialized in a certain subject is developed by spreading his message to peers. Aside from increasing traffic, this is also a way of reaching out to potential customers.
