Every day new Internet businesses start without a blog of their own. This is one reason they fail within the first couple of years. You can become an Internet business success if you learn how to combine blogging and social bookmarking to make more money.
One: You first need to find all of the relevant social bookmarking sites for your business. Join one or as many as you want to, just make sure that you find sites that are used by a lot of other people. The bigger the social site is the better for your business.
Some of these should include OnlyWire.com, Digg, Google and Yahoo. There really are thousands of sites you can bookmark your blog posts too.
Two: Once you have found the ones that you want to use you want to become active. The more active you are in each social bookmarking site, the more exposure you will get to your blog.
Explore all of the social activities that are available to you and use everyone you can. For example you can increase your traffic when you submit your site to all applicable bookmarks consistently. Not to mention the search engine bait benefits you will see.
Three: You want to make sure that you constantly update your blog and check in at the social bookmarking site a couple of times a week. What will keep people coming back is if you constantly update your content.
Plus adding fresh content will keep search engines spidering it more often as well. You can never get too many visits from a search engine.
Four: Invite your friends and family to use the social bookmarking site. This will help to increase your popularity in the social site, which will mean more traffic for you. And they may even be able to offer you a few content ideas!
Five: Target your niche market that would want your products or services the most. This will help you find other social bookmarking sites for your blog.
Six: Advertise your blog and make sure that the social bookmarking sites that you are a member of are listed on your blog. Encourage others to bookmark your site.
All the above are creative ways to handle the issue of social bookmarking, blogging, and earning money. If you can apply several of these to your internet business you too can earn more and grow your business quicker.

Today there are literally hundreds if not thousands of social bookmarking sites on the Internet. It would be virtually impossible to choose the top social bookmarking site because there are too many variables involved. The easy answer to this question is, however the top social bookmarking site is the one that performs the best for you.
Today, you can look at social bookmarking sites such as Digg and Stumbleupon and see how they allow the readers to get involved in the process of voting for your articles. With Digg if they like your article they can Digg. At Stumbleupon if they like it they can Stumble it.
What they are really saying is that they have read your article and they think it adds value to the Internet today. This is much of what Web 2.0 is all about.
It allows the reader to get involved in the process and have a voice about things that they like and dislike. This is why blogging and social bookmarking have become such a great combination.
Social bookmarking is nothing more then telling people about a blog article that you have written. It’s a way to let readers as well as search engines know that you have made an update to your blog.
Depending on the platform that you use to blog, bookmarking a blog post is very easy to do because of plug ins that make it that way. This is especially true with WordPress where all you do is click a button and then choose the corresponding social bookmarking website you want to notify.
The whole point of all of this is as an Internet marketer is to drive traffic and ultimately make sales. Other things such as opt in e-mail subscribers, RSS feed readers, and these sorts of things are made possible by getting the traffic to your blog as well.
Once you get the traffic there you can use these other methods to keep in touch with them. But social bookmarking is what helps get them there to begin with. So for every blog post that you make you should be bookmarking it to your favorite site.
Whether it is Digg, Stumbleupon, Reddit, Propeller, Technorati, or other social posting sites such as Onlywire, you want to be sure and social bookmark every blog post as many different ways as possible. Ultimately your traffic and your future business will thank you all the way to the bank for it!

Social Bookmarking could be one of the best things that ever happened to websites and blogs.
Basically Social Bookmarketing sites allow users to create a set of content bookmarks. These bookmarks are organized by tags, which are (usually) arbitrary words or phrases the user can assign to content. This gives the user a way to classify, rank and organize content using tags. The most popular Social Bookmarking Site is del.ici.ous, which has millions of users.
Social Bookmarking sites have an intrinsic advantage over search engines and other bots — people choose what to bookmark rather than relying on a program to categorize and qualify content. There is an implied quality in something that someone has taken the time to select.
Social Bookmarkers read other people’s bookmarks and add them to their own if they like them. There are also RSS feeds so people can see what others are tagging, which I think is really cool, and a textbook example of viral marketing.
About 4% of my referrers this month are del.icio.us related, including .8% off the home page, meaning that people click on my link when they see it pop up in their RSS feed. I get a goodly amount of traffic from technorati as well, but I would call that site a business bookmarking site, so I’m not going to mention it here.
I only provide a facility on AffiliateBlog for del.icio.us tagging. There is a terrific WordPress plugin called Sociable that allows direct tagging for tons of Social Bookmarking sites. If you don’t have it as part of your blog you should get it and install it today. This blog is being redesigned and should be done in a few weeks. The new design will incorporate Sociable.
So…what can YOU do to get the social bookmarking virus ramped up? I see two basic considerations:
1. Write good content. Darren Rouse had an interesting observation about del.icio.us items that make it to the top of the site. You can take a look, but basically he observes that lists, how-tos, technical articles and humor get to the top faster.
2. Give people the tools to bookmark easily. If you have a blog, use Sociable. It’s terrific. If you have a site, there are plenty of interesting tools that will help you make it easy for your visitors to bookmark your content. AddtoBookmarks.com is a good one.
There are Social Bookmarking sites popping up all over the place. Here are the Top 10. Where did I find them? In someone’s bookmark list on Listable, of course.
Del.icio.us
Listible
Digg
StumbleUpon
BlinkList
Spurl
Magnolia
Furl
BlogMarks
Reddit

Social bookmarking to generate back links is an essential method for promoting your blog. Surprisingly, a lot of bloggers neglect to implement this strategy. If you want to be successful at blogging, then you must get involved in social bookmarking to gain backlinks for your blog posts.
Social bookmarking to gain links is very easy to do and involves posting the particulars of your blog post on several social bookmarking sites.
First of all, you need to be blogging consistently. If you are extremely busy, then you can post one or two articles per week, and doing this will be way better than doing nothing.
This is OK if you stick to your schedule. Just don’t let your blog lie dormant for long time periods as this will erode away any benefits that you have already gained.
Each blog post can be bookmarked to all of the top social directories, as time permits. If you want, you can add a plug in which will cause your posts to be automatically bookmarked to the top sites every time you post.
One of the best free bookmarking services is Onlywire.com. With this service, you can bookmark to over 20 of the top social sites with one mouse click.
It will take a little bit of time to sign up with all of the bookmarking sites within Onlywire, but it will be well worth your time to do so and you will only have to do it once.
Make sure when you bookmark your blog posts to include relevant keywords that are associated with the article. It is therefore important to produce high quality articles which contain targeted keyword phrases.
To get the most out of your blogging, you will first of all, want to generate a list of targeted long tail keyword phrases. Next, write each blog post using the keyword phrase as the central theme of the article. When you bookmark your blog posts, create a short summary that includes the keyword phrase and don’t forget to place the keyword in the tags portion of the bookmark.
You will start to understand how valuable social bookmarking to increase back links is for your blogging when you see the resulting traffic. This traffic will not only come from the social directories, but also from the better search engine rankings which you will receive.
