Increase Your Traffic and Revenue Using Social Bookmark Sites

69

By Cheri Schultz

Everyone who writes an article or publishes a website is interested in increasing traffic. I have been on Hubpages for a short period of time but have done some analysis writing articles in several areas and topics. The topics I thought would drive a lot of traffic actually produced less than the topics I thought would be less favorable. This proves you need to write Hubs on a variety of topics until you see a niche and start capitalizing on those topics. During my research of Social Bookmark Sites I came across 3 dynamic sites which can significantly increase your traffic and are Free to sign up with.

SheToldMe

SheToldMe works similar to Digg and Snipsly and other popular Social Bookmarking sites. The main difference with SheToldMe is they allow you to submit your own articles and they do revenue sharing with an Affiliate Pay Per Click advertising.

You can make additional revenue two ways with SheToldMe:

Begin by creating an account for Google Adsense and Chitika. If you already have an existing account with these affiliates, then your next step is to create a SheToldMe account. Keep in mind, the SheToldMe account can be created prior to your Google and Chitika Id’s. You can always add these Id’s at a later date.

Both of these affiliates pay per click and one of the advantages of Chitika is they place ads on your articles based upon the keywords that were entered by the user searching for a specific article. This allow the ads to be relevant to your article.

Snipsly

Snipsly is another Social Bookmarking Site that share in Google Adsense revenue. This site encourages you submit your own content, videos or images. They have an 80 / 20 split. What this means is Snipsly shows their ads 20% of the time while the user (you) shows your ads 80% of the time. Your share on Adsense revenue is 80%.

This site helps to build backlinks for your articles and it is great for creating links with targeted anchor text. Which means you can create an article and add a hyperlink within your site or article. Sign up for Snipsly now and begin adding revenue to your Google Adsense Account.

Xomba

Xomba is another Social Bookmarking site where you create either Xomblurbs or Xombytes. Xomblurbs are used to promote, blogs, websites or articles and are usually just a couple of sentences in length with a targeted anchor text to your article or website. Xombytes are articles or fiction that need to be at least 150 words in length. The article in a Xombyte can contain backlinks to your articles but it cannot be your primary focus.

How do you make money with Xomba? – glad you ask. Xomba displays Google advertisements beside your Xomblurb or Xombyte. When a reader clicks on the display this generates revenue based upon an affiliate pay per click advertising and Xomba does a 50/50 split with Xomba members. In order to begin receiving additional google adsense revenue sign up for Xomba – it is Free and it works!

Increase Your Traffic

Adding your blogs and articles to these Social Bookmarking sites does take some time but in the long run you will be pleasantly surprised how your revenue will begin to increase on a daily basis. I have only been on Hubpages approximately four months and I am ready to receive my very first Google payout.  Be consistent and patient and you will see the fruits of your labor payoff by the increase traffic to your website or blog.

Thanks for introducing to snipsly. SheToldMe is long pending. You reminded of me that also. I am already a Zombyte. But not doing much there. Hereafter I will take your advise of using all these at least in 2010. Thanks once again for sharing useful informations to hubbers like me.

Great article....I get a lot of stuff using wordpress, and always backlink, backlink, backlink in all of your aritcles...this is the best way to boost....

Twitter and face are good also, BUT, when the gvt started looking into peoples accounts, I deleted all of my social sites. I do not feel that the gvt has a right to do that with our freedom of speech...of course, they are trying to remove this also....ho hum....and also watch out for viruses spread through social sites....

Great hub and I will try these extra ones....thank you!!!

Wealthmadehealthy: Thank for stopping by... These sites have worked well, but I will watch out for viruses. I need to get a move out to twitter and facebook. But I cannot always tweet and update facebook - those are my reservations due to my busy schedule. - thanks again

If I submit original HP contents to Social Bookmarking sites, will HP consider them as Duplicate Contents? Appreciate your advice. Thanks.

HP will consider duplicate content with Associated Content, but the other Social bookmarking sites I listed, I use every time I publish a hub and they have never been sited as duplicate.
