However there is a lot more to social bookmarking than just traffic. One of the biggest advantages in having a post bookmarked is its ability to send the search engine bot to your site to read and index the post that has been indexed.

This can be a huge mistake and often cost you money rather than making any. A good example is affiliate advertising. You go to great lengths to write a good piece of affiliate promotion.

It is the comments section on their blog. This blogging tip goes further than just responding to comments. I suggest you follow them.

The question is, is it really free? Sure, you don't need to open your wallet to pay for the hosting. The blogs can be quickly and easily established, and posting content can quick and easy.  Sounds like a real winner to me. However, free blog hosting does come at a price. First, for a business, it doesn't sit well to have blog with a URL that includes a hosting company. Where is your uniqueness?

Rather than short whippy content that is easy to consume or share, B2B content is often more involved. Blog content that is designed for the general public often needs to follow some 'rules'.

There are quite a few interesting stats to come out of the report including the fact that 74% of all US bloggers have graduated college.

What ever is making the news today will almost always bring in readers - if it is well written and not just a copy of what is in the news already.

One of those flaws is the lack navigation breadcrumbs. These breadcrumbs have several benefits to your blog including user navigation, search engine navigation (which helps your SEO) and a general professional look.

You can install a plugin that will add links to related post automatically, however, you have little control over these links. If you have the time, and if you have a good handle on where you blog has been in the past, it can be a much better idea to add links to your previous posts yourself.

They tend to drop in and dissapear again within 30 seconds. If you have something special, they may stay around longer. If you are using social bookmarking to gain traffic, forget it. However, if you are using it for link building, go for it. If one of your pages gets bookmarked and receives a few votes, you may see your traffic spike a little, ignore it.

What is your method? Do you start with a title and try and write to it? I find this to be one of the biggest sticking points. Trying to find a title and then writing content to match the title. A more sensible approach is to find a theme for your post. Once you have established what you want to write about - go ahead and write it. You will find, as you start writing, numerous titles coming to mind.

There are two mistakes that most bloggers, particularly new bloggers, make. The first mistake that many bloggers make relates to the number of metrics tools they use. You really only need a small number particularly if you use Google Analytics. If you also have a host based tool such as AW Stats then you are halfway there.

It makes sense, at least up to a certain point. If your running a business either offline or online, a blog can make a lot of sense. It is a great way to communicate with your customers, provide information in an easy bite size format, and to deliver new customers to your door (or website). Running a business takes time and focus.

There are many blogs that appear to be in that situation. If your blog is a business blog then you don't want just any audience, you should be targeting an audience that will act in line with your business goals.

If your in that situation, get yourself a blog and work your blog SEO as tight as possible. Having said get a blog, make sure you place it in the best possible place,  a subfolder.

It appears now that Yahoo! will also add a similar feature. Whilst it has not been released yet, Yahoo!

Informative posts are not that difficult to write, making them engaging is the tough part. One of the easiest ways to learn how to write engaging blog content is by watching other writers.

You can submit your site to directories, you can submit articles to article directories and you can spend time on the various social sites promoting yourself and your blog.
