Below I have outlined step by step strategy to attract some traffics with all the Tag, Ping, Social Media and Social Bookmarking.
1. Your ping list has to be in order. Check out the recommended ping list based on Elliotblack.com and WarriorForum if you don’t have a ping list you are happy using. The first part of marketing your post starts with your ping list. Please make sure you had all the ping list and start using it.
2. You must tag your post. Ultimate Tag Warrior is a required plugin for any Wordpress blogs. It will allow you to categorize content based on a tagging engine. No doubt, Ultimate Tag Warrior is one of the most powerful Wordpress plugins that you should use. Each time you make a post, your can add your own keywords as a tags at the bottom of your post, automatically the tags will be set as Technorati type tags. You will get some SEO benefits from thousand of Technorati search.
3. Tag Technorati for all the post that you write. As example, I write this post about Social Media and blogging. I will tags and ping Technorati and make my blog tracked and visible in Technorati search. If you keep on using this approach, every tags that you create will get Technorati SEO benefits and easily it will help you keep your posts at or near the top of the list at Technorati. That hard to explain, why don’t you read Bokardo post on Technorati Tags: What Are They Really.
4. If you already Tag and Ping all your work properly, now is the time you should understanding syndication and other social bookmarking. You should consider how you can drive traffics from social bookmarking site such as StumbleUpon or Digg. Maybe a short study will help you. Make StumbleUpon as example, you should know that StumbleUpon helps you discover and share great websites. Where you can stumble! any interesting stories or pages and share it with your friends or other stumble surfer. If you categories your site in Technology category, other users that have specified Technology interest will “potentially” directed to your site when they click “Stumble”. Briefly, that how StumbleUpon works. Meanwhile if you use Digg, you can submit stories and people will vote on whether or not they like them. The more votes a site receives the more prominent it is on the site. Actually both way, users are rating the content. The higher rating you get, more visible your site will be.
If you want more spill over traffics from all these bookmarking sites, you should know how you can bait the traffics and how you can influence other users submit your site to these bookmarking sites.
