Strategies for launching a sucessful event

Traffic Through Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking allows you to save, organize, search and share web pages. The sharing can be both private and public or a combo of both. The people allowed to view your bookmarks can do so by tags, categories, chronological order or through search engines. Web feeds are now provided by many bookmarking services to keep you and all those who share updated. Visitors can also rate and comment on these bookmarks.

However, best practices are paramount in order to generate traffic using bookmarking. If not done properly, you won’t have any followers and what’s worse is that you might never know it. Some of the best practices that we at Events Listed use are:

• We communicate – we reach out to people and have built a niche area of expertise. We comments on others’ bookmarks, take part in discussions and bookmark stuff that others have bookmarked
• We provide fresh and unique content – we know that it has to be worth sharing and should provide value. Our content is varied, cutting edge and all industry specific.
• We make bookmarking hassle free – our bookmarks are easy to use.
• We bookmark frequently – we do it several times a day.
• We offer the best stuff – in order to make others aware and keep them interested, we share our best stuff.

This is just basic general stuff. To generate traffic, we bookmark every link that we twitter as we twitter while we bookmark every blog post we publish in the same 10 to 1 ratio as with twitter.

We do this daily across all our bookmarking accounts which attracts followers in our niche as it works in the micro-blogs.

Social bookmarking is now a popular way of communicating and is fast becoming an invaluable marketing tool for increased traffic and promotion of products and services. The true extent of its effectiveness and how info can and is shared by people can be judged by the fact that Digg.com, the most popular social bookmarking has more than 8 million visitors per month. And the best part is that you don’t need your personal computer to access your bookmarks, but can do so from any computer anywhere in the world.

To make sure that our bookmarking works, we do it with extra care as mistagging, spelling mistakes in tagging, multiple meaning tags are some of the snags of this system.
