Your blogs and sites should be bookmarked all over the web by now. The tips and guides we discussed above should already have helped your sites attract more people or just plain increased traffic or high. Don’t rest on your laurels though because you definitely want to keep going. If your blog is “favorited” or bookmarked in other social sites and in Technorati, then you are off to a good start. This is mainly because every “my favorite” that you get helps your ranking. Basically, each and every single link in a social boookmarking site counts.

If this is done properly, a substantial increase of visitors in your blog or site will be felt. What’s more interesting is that if those visitors add your blog or site to their favorites, they will more or less come back, thereby increasing traffic some more to your site. Story here is to create blogs and sites that have useful extras making them more appealing. Extras would be described as mini tools or widgets that can be integrated to the blog or site. These extra’s make a world of difference when they are present in blogs or websites since readers will have some kind of interaction with them.
