If you haven’t heard of social bookmarking sites, you’re missing out on a new web phenomenon. In a nutshell, social bookmarking sites allow you to store links to web pages you like on a publicly accessible web site where others can see them. The benefit of this sharing is that you expose others to content that they may not have encountered. Similarly, you may see content from others that you wouldn’t normally have come across.
There’s an added benefit to web site owners too. If a link to their page becomes popular i.e. is bookmarked many times or receives many votes, then there usually follows an explosion of traffic. It’s this second benefit that I wanted to explore and which is the basis of the following post.
I found this very interesting, I’ve had only one post make front page, and a few get close… so I know somewhat what he meant by traffic. More Popular posts he’d find live differently.
