After absorbing Craig Desorcy’s eBook at Social Bookmark Traffic, I started implementing his secrets for my own web pages, seeing significant results from StumbleUpon in particular. So I decided to start bookmarking a new lens I made on the 7th and by the 8th, I had received 160 hits - 24 hours. See how it’s done:
If you’re out bookmarking, don’t forget to add your Squidoo lenses!

If you’re like me, you don’t have a lot of time to spend rubbing elbows on the ‘net with your customers. Marketers lead busy lives and it’s hard enough to find time to spend with your own family, much less court customers on a regular basis.
It’s a double edged sword because social networks are so popular and vital to marketing right now, but they take massive amounts of time. I started looking for ways to automate the process and it looks like I found one.
Bookmarking is something many marketers aren’t doing, or aren’t doing right. I went to one site, StumbleUpon, and bookmarked my links. I started seeing a lot of traffic stream in from it, and what happened is other people are sharing the link.
So instead of socializing and exposing your link continually, day after day, as your spouse sits glaring at you from across the room, you set it up once, share it, and let the link get spread by other people. It’s actually kind of sneaky, making them work for no pay!
If you’re not bookmarking yet, you ought to give it a try. I personally used Craig Desorcy’s Ebook called Bookmark Traffic Secrets to teach me, but you can take the do-it-yourself route if you have time to figure it all out on your own. Let me know how it works for you!

PS - It’s a GREAT way to get traffic to your lenses!
