1. Easy and Free Traffic Generation

What is Social Bookmarking?

Everyone wants traffic! Whether you have a service or a product or a personal blog, you probably are looking for ways to drive traffic to your website.

Social bookmarking is a way to drive traffic to your website or blog. I'm sure you are familar with bookmarks or favorites.

On the Internet Explorer toolbar you can designate a site as a 'favorite.' IE (Internet Explorer) then save the address of that site in a folder for you. It is very easy for you to retrieve that site when you want.

Firefox has a tool called 'Bookmarks.' If you find a site you want to remember, you can place the address in a folder and look for it when needed.

Both of these are extremely handy tools. I would strongly suggest that you have several folders for addresses of sites that are critical to your business.

Social bookmarking is essential the same concept.
There are numerous sites that allow you to:

Store bookmarks of web pages
Search bookmarks
Organize bookmarks
Manage bookmarks

Whereas you typically store your bookmarks on your computer, social bookmarking sites allow you to share your bookmarks.

On your computer you usually organize your bookmarks with folders. However, on most book marking sites you use tags to categorize the bookmarks.

An additional feature of online bookmarking services is the ability to produce a feed for your list of bookmarks. Now my subscribers are automatically notified when I add or tag new bookmarks.


2. Website Design Mistake - Flash Welcome/Splash Screens

Flash Welcome/Splash Screens.

Flash was big for a while and unless you are careful,  appears very "cheesy."
(NOTE: Flash is useful for several different tasks, if used properly.)

One thing you want to avoid is to put a big flash welcome page as the default page of your web site. You are making your visitor click again to get into your website.  Most people find it annoying. Their time is valuable and to make them sit through it, or have to click a skip button is just irritating.
