Put aside SEO let's do some SMO.
Many of my blogger friends have many times through their articles emphasized the need & power of SEO.SEO is great i totally agree with that,i get a regular traffic to my blogs through search engines.But if you're writing good content and depending on just search engines to bring heavy loads of traffic then i must tell you that you are'nt using your resources well for getting the traffic you deserve.
What i'm coming to is S.M.O or Social Media Optimization .Never heard of it.Well it is what i call reaching the audience.Optimizing your content and making it available for the masses is how to define it in technical terminology.Since this article is on getting traffic we will concentrate on one of its aspects social bookmarking.Social bookmarking is one of the underestimated traffic pullers.While some of the social bookmarking sites like Digg and del.icio.us are utilised for traffic by some bloggers the cream of rest of the available ones is enjoyed by 'web/blog traffic' pros because they know what to do and what to expect.
But plunging on SMO and submitting links to all those sites one knows will be a slight foolishness.STO also needs to be played sesnibly.How?Too large to explain in one post.So i've decided to share with you what i know through 4 or maybe 5 posts throughout this week.I am beggining the 'SMO series' with an update to my article '31social bookmarking sites that will bring killer traffic to your blog'.In that article i listed 31 sites on the order of their alexa rankings & average pageview so that one can prioratize the sites to which the links are to be submitted.I am modifying the list with the latest data available and adding about 30more sites to the list.Why?i'll tell you later this week.The benchmark remains the same.Here goes the list.
