Network Marketing

The popularity of social bookmarking sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, Technorati, Reddit and Del.icio.us has grown markedly over the years. These sites allow users to search, set bookmarks, organize, read and rate almost anything on the Internet. The more visitors vote for your content, the higher it ascends in the rankings. The higher the ranking, the greater the exposure as you increase the traffic flow to your site.

Important to note, social bookmarking sites do not like if you vote for your own content. In fact, if you do vote for your own, the built-in algorithms will move you lower in the rankings and which will defeat your viral marketing attempt. Your content needs to be so compelling that others feel the unprompted need to vote for it.

These sites attract hundreds of thousands of visitors per day. If your content can create enough buzz, and you are able to rank toward the top of any of these sites, the viral effect will play markedly in your favor.

Social Bookmarking sites have an intrinsic advantage over search engines--namely humans choose what to bookmark versus relying on a program to categorize, qualify and quantify the content.

There are new Social bookmarking sites appearing every day and with the advent of pligg, a free open source bookmarking site creator it is not only the big boys and companies who are creating these sites but the ordinary bloke or girl in the street too.
