Social Bookmarking Sites

Social Bookmarking sites are a great way to drive traffic to your content and help get it noticed. There are dozens of social networking or bookmarking sites that can be used and some of those you will find below.

Note: It is not always going to be beneficial to submit your content to sites such as these, few things you will want to pay attention to when choosing which websites will work best to drive traffic to your articles and content are: 1) what type of ranking does it have on the popular search engines? 2) how many people are "really" going to have the opportunity to see your submissions via the site? 3) how easy is the submission process? 4) Will it really allow you to promote your articles and other content?

The first site you will find is one that does not necessarily have a great ranking just yet but it is one of the ONLY social bookmarking sites that allows you to earn revenue off of submissions:

SheToldMe - Add  links to your content or website along with a short keyword rich description and earn 100% Adsense revenue off of your submissions. SheToldMe not only gives you the opportunity to create a beneficial backlink that can help drive traffic to your website or content but they also give you the opportunity to earn off your submissions and even pass along a bit of benefit for referring others to the site, too.

Redgage - Get paid to promote your articles, website content, video's, links, blog posts and more...

Digg - Another popular, well ranking and frequented social bookmarking site for your content. Submit an array of popular content that interests you - be sure it is a mixture of your content and others - and the more people Digg your submissions the kinder the likes of Google and other search engines will look upon you.

Twitter - Tweet your way to content success! Many freelance writers have found Twitter to be a successful way to share both their days and their content.

Google - Not a social bookmarking site but allows your information to be submitted directly to Google in hopes of getting it picked up and indexed faster on their search engine! Google can't be beat when it comes to popularity so getting Google to notice you will get you noticed by others too and help you to drive traffic to your website or other online content!

Ehow Vows to Make Things Right with their Freelance Writer's

             


It has been a long grueling few months for many freelancers who write for eHow.com. If you have followed the on-going eHow gossip, that has appeared to spread like wild fire across the world wide web, then you have probably already heard the uproar surrounding the launch of the ehow UK site and the rapid decline in US writer's online earnings. 
  
The eHow's forums have been bogged down with threads surrounding this beta expansion and writer's have made their concerns known, and hard to ignore. For awhile it appeared that those concerns would be swept under the rug but just when things started to get hairy eHow appears to have stepped up and is making an attempt to right their wrong.

In a public appearance, made in the way of a video blog that was released today, to the eHow community - eHow has acknowledged that their members compensation did (as claimed by writers) suffer with the UK release and that they have intentions of making things right by compensating their dedicated freelance writer's. This, to many affected writer's, is a small victory and a step in the right direction for eHow and its reputation. With the exception of a few of the sites freelance writer's - who appear unappeasable - this acknowledgement and promise has started the much needed mending process.    

This move in the right direction will not replace the trust that has been lost or damaged in the process and freelance writer's will continue to be leery of future deception but the urge to write and earn has again been revived in many. Yes eHow - we are watching you ;-)

So, in conclusion, as a member and freelance writer, I'd like to send out a special thank you to eHow for finally listening and stepping up to the plate! I hope this truly brings an end to the frustration and is an acceptable fix for all involved.
