1000s of would be internet marketers and seasoned pros are using social bookmark sites like Digg and Delicious to promote their sites, products and services.

This isn't a new phenomenon. In fact, from the dawn of social networking sites there have been a plentiful herd of internet marketers waiting to discover how best they could use this explosion of traffic - to drive visitors to their own sites.

Here are some tips to maximise your exposure on such sites using tried and proven methods to drive targeted traffic to your website:

1. There are literally 100s of different social sites online so submit to as many as is physically possible. Do a search on Google for 'Social bookmarking sites' for the most popular with the highest traffic stats.

2. If possible buy yourself a piece of software or web script that will automate the process for you. I use a Wordpress script called Auto Social Poster that will automatically submit each blog post I publish to around 30 Social networking sites - including all the most visited ones.

3. The Social sites usually link from your article title back to your site PLUS they put your link on pages on their site - determined by whichever keyword phrases you use when submitting. So make sure to use targeted search phrases in your title and keywords. Hint: Use long tail, 3-4 word phrases, to maximise your chances of your SB post reaching the top page of google.

4. Interact with other SB members. Whether on Digg or Delicious, make sure to participate in activities like adding friends and commenting on other users posts. This will encourage them to do the same for you which will in turn raise your ranking and standing on the network in question.

5. Link to your social bookmark pages. If possible add links to your Social bookmark account to as many other sites as possible. You can also add your bookmark page to your article resource box - if article marketing is a part of your internet marketing strategy(Not all article directories will allow this so check first). Linking back to your pages and SB posts will give these URLs a boost in ranking on the search engines and could even get you a coveted number one spot on Google for a popular search term.

These are just some of the way you can significantly increase your potential to grab massive free traffic from Social Bookmarking sites. Apply them today to your marketing and watch your traffic and income soar.
