We seem to be getting a little traffic coming in from Technorati they seem to be picking up on all our post about social bookmarking. I’ve signed up with them but have not bookmarked any sites over there yet.

So far most of our traffic is coming from the forums but it’s nice to see a little traffic from a bookmarking site.

I like buddyMarks it’s simple and easy to use and I can understand how you could get traffic from it. The thing that botthers me is that buddymarks is a lot like a directory, so I have to wonder, if I’ll get about as much traffic from it as I would get from a directory?

That would be as clost to zero as you can get.

I’ve registered and set up an account with BackFlip, the service is free and according to their about us page it is run by a group of volunteers. It seems very easy to add pages but I’m not sure how you search and get traffic from the site. I guess only time will tell.

I’ve added all the sites except the bloggin site because I need to add some content to that site first.

Here is how the whole thing works.

When you find a web page you like you can use the Backflip button to save it, then later you can log into your account and place them in any order you like.

Your also able to email the sites you like to friends and family from the Backflip site rather their members or not as well as do searches on the site to view other peoples favorites.

I like the site but feel it’s going to take more then just adding in some sites to get the desired traffic.

To say it can be done quickly is some what misleading, I’ve spent the last hour just registering with all the sites and now I have to go back and figure out how to work the sites and set up my profile. I’m using the list here and it has a lot of sites that allow bookmarking but this is not the full list.

But it is the list the Bill used when he said that he took a brand new site and started getting 1,000’s of visitors a day as well as branded his business and had so many people wanting to advertise on the site that he didn’t know what to do, all in less then 7 days.

So this is the list I’m going to use to start with, if it works like he says then I will be expanding the list to try to get more bookmarking sites.

First step is setting up all the stats so everyone can see them, I’m doing that now and I’m setting them for unique visitors only and keep in mind that forum visitors do not count.

I’m going to use Statcounter so it will take me a couple minutes to get everything set up and posted on the blogs.
