Many web pages with non-catchy headlines do not get noticed on social bookmarking sites. Headline is the first to grab the attention of readers. Irrelevant headlines lower your chances of making way to the homepage of bookmarking sites. What comes next to a catchy headline is a meaningful description. A description is the reflective of a webpage text. So, keep it simple and small. Descriptions with over 100-150 characters are less likely to be read.

The first paragraph of webpage content leads a reader to go through the rest. Its importance goes beyond measure when it comes to social bookmarking. Keep the first paragraph substantial in information, relevant in meaning, impeccable in structure and accurate in grammar. Bookmarking web pages with mediocre content is useless. Quality-based and value-drive content ensures multiple views to the web pages of a website. The content should be concise and catching.

Let your friends and their followers bookmark your site. It helps a great deal to promote the site in search engines. Try possible means and measures to facilitate bookmarking for them. A bookmarking button at the bottom of web pages lets users mark your website or a particular webpage. Check if the use of a CMS comes with an extension to dig.com, delicious.com and other buttons.

Submitting your site to the right category of a social bookmarking site is of the essence. Submitting to the categories like General, Miscellaneous makes no profit. As these categories remain filled with unclassified stuff, your website is likely to get only a few number of views. Building a top profile with links to your website on social bookmarking sites is fundamental to get the site noticed by visitors in large numbers.
