This article is dedicated to all new bloggers who just started their blog, writing good helpful quality contents, doing all On-page SEO properly but getting no traffic or audience to it. This is why because your blog is new and it has no online presence. Nobody knows about the quality of your contents. Even for Google, it takes time to index your articles and to understand its priority to rank better.
Then what should you do? Social bookmarking is an effective way to promote your content or contents on different online platforms to increase your blog traffic. You should not be doing it in a spammy way but always follow the rules and regulation of that platform where you are promoting your contents. This will give you a much better result in the long run.

What are Social Bookmarking sites?
Social bookmarking sites are websites that allow users to tag their web contents on that platform. These are sites that have already built their brand value to the audience. These sites have a huge number of traffic per month too.
So promoting our own web contents on those platforms can really help us to grow our website traffic. When promoting contents on different social bookmarking sites, you need not to focus on the types of backlinks you are getting. Because Google really does not care about these types of backlinks anymore. So your only focus should be on the way you are promoting your contents.
Most of the social bookmarking websites are free to use but some have a paid plan too. In this article I will list almost 20 Social bookmarking websites that you can use to bookmark your contents for absolutely free of costs.
How to get started?
1. Open Notepad or any text editor and list all the links and titles of your articles you want to bookmark.
2. Prepare a short description for your blog website, use some important keywords in it.
3. List few words related to your blog which you going to use as tags.
4. Create a new Gmail account to sign up on different bookmarking websites.
I recommend you to use same Gmail account to signup on different bookmarking sites. Before you start working on different social bookmarking sites, make sure you go through their rules and guidelines. Do not try to spam on any of these platforms.
The bookmarking process is almost the same for every site. You need to put your link, title, description and tags before you post it.
