Should I be social bookmarking my own articles on sites like Delicious, Digg and Reddit?
It is a generally well accepted practice to submit your own articles and pages to social bookmarking sites. The problem is that without a little help, it is highly unlikely that these pages will be discovered by anyone, and the links themselves coming from the sites will carry very little to no weight. To be truly successful with these sites, networking with other users on these sites is essential. It is nearly impossible to get a submission on Digg to the home page without a little help from other users in most cases. So, if you plan to use social bookmarking sites for self promoting your articles, make sure you make some connections around the country that can help digg/save/vote for your articles.
