Information overload is a tough thing.
With so much good information, it's easy to become bewildered.
Oftentimes, victims of information overload do things simply because they have heard that they are good things to do and not because they necessarily know or understand why.
Jason Smynz had a stellar website.
He had spent hours carefully designing the layout of his website and had outsourced much of his content to a high profile free-land writer.
Eagerly awaiting the awesome flood of traffic to his website, he published his website then waited for the expected torrent of traffic! For two straight weeks, nothing happened.
Disheartened and frustrated, Jason checked his website analytics one night to see how many visitors had accidentally trickled to his website.
To his surprise, his saw that from about 11 am onwards, his website had been flooded with traffic! What had happened? One of Jason's previous visitors had seen the awesomeness on Jason's site and had bookmarked it on the popular social bookmarking site, digg.
com.
That was it.
Nothing more.
What if Jason had bookmarked his website on several online bookmarking sites as soon as the website was published? Social bookmarking is, as it's name suggests, a social online bookmarking website where people can bookmark their favorite websites on the internet.
When something new is bookmarked, it appears at the top of the main web-page of the social bookmarking site.
New bookmarks are placed on top, bumping older bookmarks down one position.
However, social bookmark users have the opportunity to give a "thumbs up" on the website that will allow it to stay further up.
This gives the website more time on the main page, and prolonged exposure to large amounts of traffic.
Because of the massive popularity of social bookmarks, the presence of your website on a prominent position of the social bookmarking website is a simple way to quickly tap into a large audience bringing in a fast wave of traffic.
