Seven Sites to Submit Your Articles To
Posted by Mike | Filed under Social Bookmarking, Traffic-building
“If you build it they will come,” may be great for baseball, but not for articles. Sure, if you write great, original articles you will inevitably get traffic from Google, Yahoo and other search engines. More and more people are finding their news and articles from social bookmarking sites rather than the TV or standard news websites. Here are seven social bookmarking sites that I always submit my articles to gain immediate traffic and solid backlinks. In many instances, your submissions to these sites will beat your original article in Google!
- Digg.com - Google PageRank of 8 and consistently in the top 100 on Alexa. Get’s about 17 million visitors each month.
- Propeller.com - Google PageRank of 7 and really the only competitor to Digg.com in the “vote up or down” format because it is part of the AOL Network and owned by Time Warner. Still nowhere near the visitors as Digg with about 1.5 million visitors each month.
- Technorati.com - Technorati has a PageRank of 8 and gets well over 3 million visitors each month. There is no need to submit your articles. Simple register you blog with Technorati.com and it will automatically post your articles to your profile. You can “ping” your blogs to get faster results.
- del.icio.us - Is there a cooler .US domain name? del.icio.us is another PageRank 8 social bookmark site. It gets about 1.5 million visitors each month. Is the simplest of them all and takes 15 seconds to submit your article once you are logged in.
- StumbleUpon.com - StumbleUpon is more of a random site generator based on the keywords you provide when submitting your articles, but there is no arguing the immediate traffic you will get. Use the StumbleUpon toolbar for quick submissions!
- Reddit.com - Reddit is a simple “Digg.com like” site. It looks ugly, but can provide some traffic. Reddit is a PageRank 7 site and gets just over 1 million visitors each month.
- fark.com - Fark is a “cooler” looking site that is relatively easy to submitt to. It is another PageRank 7 site, but only gets about 300,000 visitors each month.
Spend 5-10 minutes submitting your articles and you will see immediate results. Check your server stats or Google Analytics now and then to see which ones perform better than others. With 100s of social bookmarking sites out there you will need to figure out which ones perform better than others. Sites with lesser traffic may perform better because the theme of the site may match your articles topic/theme. Submit to these sites religiously and watch your traffic soar! I’m off to go submit this article…
I couldn’t agree more on what you have said! Submitting your articles on these sites will give you pleasurable outcomes. I’ve already tried the first 6. Nextime, I will also try Fark.com. I’ve heard a lot from this site but I always failed to remember to submit my article. I’ll note on that. Thanks.
my favorite is reddit… they are very underrated but really are great in terms of boosting your traffic
Yes, submiting post to famous social networkings is a good step to increase traffic. Many expert bloggers suggest this tip to newbies.
I am agree with you because by submitting in this social networking sites we get lot of traffic which is helpful to bring our site top in google, thaks a lot.
Yeah but the traffics from these social sites were not targeted if you are doing affiliate marketing
Most of the readers from there are not in “buying mode”, they may just looking for some funny things to read :).
Still these are the best sources to boost your site’s traffic.
Excellent Post
Is there not some sort of tool that can automatically submit my articles to all of these sites together.
Fark’s a good one that’s often overlooked.
Will duplicate content ever be an issue?
