This is a really quick post. I’ve just signed up for OnlyWire, a service that allows you to bookmark any webpage to a whole load of Social Bookmark sites at once.
It takes a while to set up but if you need to have webpages added to those sites, as I do, then it is the very best service that there is. And it saves an age.
As part of the registration, I have also signed up for Technorati. In order for that site to believe that this is my blog I have to publish this post and point them to it – so here goes – Technorati Profile
It’s been an interesting exercise and one that can be applied to your own site, or even your MySpace page. This will allow you to notify a host of Social Bookmark sites every time that you put something new on your band website. So, say you put up a video of your latest rehearsal, you log into OnlyWire and automatically notify all the sites that you have previously registered with.
Why do you do this? Well, although Social Bookmarking sites are there, in many cases at least, for individuals to host their ‘Favourites’ list in an online profile, they are far far more use for driving traffic to your site. Every time that you submit or ‘tag’ a web page to one of the sites, it gets ranked and then other registered users of that site are pointed to it by searching witihin the sites, split up into categories. So, by bookmarking your own new posts, you are increasing the chances of more traffic coming to your site from those Social Bookmarking sites. Obviously, those people may then become fans of your band.
To start with, I have set up the OnlyWire account and registered with Digg, delicious, Bebo, Reddit, technorati, and Stumble Upon. Each time I post I will bookmark to all those sites automatically by just logging in once to OnlyWire, and I should see a boost in traffic.
That’s the theory and it should work for you too. I recommend you try it and see if it works for you.
