Which Social Bookmarking Site Is Best For Me?

Social MediaThis is one question that I often encounter on many forums.

Lot of bloggers have the same question because social bookmarking sites are one of the best ways to promote your blog but the problem is that often, there's no solid answer to this.

So, I decided to write a post the answers this questions once and for all.

Best Social Bookmarking Site Is...

[tip]Every site[/tip]

Every social bookmarking site is best in its own way. What matters most is your blog's niche. Imagine you submit a top quality article about great recipe on Digg. What will happen?

No one will notice it.

See how choosing a right network can help you!

Now, let's move on to finding the best social bookmarking site for your blog. The best way to analyze a network for best topics is to keep an eye on front page. Since only the most popular articles appear on the front page, you can quickly get an idea about the best content for that network.

In this post, I will take a look at the bigger ones: Digg, Delicious ad Stumble Upon.

Digg

Digg is a social network best suited for technology related news. The categories themselves scream this out: Business, Entertainment, Gaming, Technology, Science and World News.

Blogs related to Technology, News and partially, humor are best suited for Digg.

However, you'd best steer clear of Digg because you need a good amount of votes to get any significant traffic.

Delicious

Delicious is a social bookmarking site and despite having a name like a recipe site, food is nowhere to be see on it.

Most of the popular submissions on Delicious are how-to tutorials, lists and technology news. If you have a blog about blogging, web design, coding, Delicious is best for you.

Stumble Upon

Stumble Upon is a bit difficult to analyze as it does not have any front page. And it is not even a social bookmarking site. It is a personal recommendation engine that will show articles of your choice.

There are a lot of categories and you can submit almost any article type. But there are a couple of problems with it. First, Stumble Upon visitors don't convert well. They have a short attention span and bounce quickly (using that evil "Stumble" button).

Second, most of the people prefer images, videos and funny content there, so don't expect your long articles or tutorials to get popular there at all.
