How Social Bookmarking Can Increase Traffic to Your Wetpaint Website

Wetpaint has added icons for easy bookmarking by your visitors. These icons are located near the bottom of your website, within the Tags panel. The red arrow in the image below, indicates the social bookmarking tools accessible to visitors of Wetpaint websites.



Moderators can increase traffic by:

• Explaining what social bookmarking is to website visitors and members and encouraging them to mark your site; the more frequently your Wetpaint site is bookmarked by a large number of people, the more likely it is to get greater exposure.
  
  
• Joining a social bookmarking website and marking your website. When adding bookmarks, you have the option to add a note describing what you are bookmarking or why you have marked the website. By doing so, you can clarify the purpose of your Wetpaint site and attract like minded people.
  
  
• Using social bookmarking to find other people who have similar interests and sharing bookmarks with those members.

• Some services allow you to sort your bookmark by dates. This feature is helpful if your website is designed to provide users with the up-to-date news, information, and articles.
  
  
• Access to your favorite bookmarks from any computer, since the content is stored on the Internet. This will give you the freedom to update information on your website from any location.
  
  
• If your Wetpaint site has a unique topic or name, adding it to a social bookmarking database may make it easier for others to locate it using popular search engines.
  

Social Bookmarking tools and interfaces vary from service to service.
