The more people bookmark your pages, the more influential your pages will become, so begin by bookmarking your own content in as many different places as you can.

We suggest using these;
Digg
Reddit
Delicious
Diigo
Google Bookmarks
Stumbleupon
Yahoo Bookmarks
Bibsonomy

Each of these will improve the visibility and traffic to your blog. As more people find your bookmarks, more people will visit your content and use social bookmarking to save your page content, further building your online authority.

As well as sharing your content on your Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ accounts, this will make sure that your content has a good initial social exposure.

We recommend adding a ‘share’ plugin on your blog pages, to make it easy for people to share your content.

It can be worth your while to set up a few accounts with each of the bookmarking sites so that you can get the ball rolling with 4 – 5 bookmarks for your blog posts during the first few days after they are posted. Is that cheating, or offering your content a helping hand?
