We all know the importance of traffic when it comes to blogging successfuly. Without traffic coming your way, nothing happens. If you've got adsense on your blog, no one will click on then. If you're promoting affiliate products, no one will buy through your link. if you are building a list, no one will sign up. Your blog will look like an old ghost town.
Although google would crawl your sites naturally and possibly send some traffic your way if you've got great, unique contents, you still need to go out there and do a bit of work to get more traffic.
I use social bookmarking sites to promote my blogs. They are free and fun to use. It doesn't take your time either. Those are the reasons why I like it. All you need to do is to post your news on your favourite bookmarking sites as soon as you post them on your blogs. The reasons are numerous but here are the main ones.
You will be getting backlinks to your blogs from established websites with high PR. Also when you break a hot news, people will read your news and in most cases visit your blog to see the other nice stuffs you've got.
So here are the social bookmarking sites that I use that have worked for me in the past.
Digg.com
Del.icio.us
Technorati.com
Twitter.com
Reddit.com
Google Bookmarks
And more.
You need to open an account each with these sites. Once you do that, you can start submitting your news to them. If that sounds like hard work to you, there are some tools online that you can use to submit your post to all the major bookmarking sites with just a click.
Here are a few you can check out.

With this neat, little technique, traffic should come your way in no time.

Hi Akin,
Appreciate your posting on 'traffic to your blog'! You said it succinctly. At last I understand what Social Bookmarking is now. Duh!
Believe me this has been one of many blond moments online! The wonderful thing is that eventually I do learn and I get a eureka moment which is very satisfying.
Kind regards,
Ruth
