You want people to visit your real estate website. You have spent time designing the site, filling the content with articles and a variety of content. Great! What’s Next?

If you have built a savvy and well-designed real estate website that offers benefits to your readers and visitors, you can help direct traffic by the truckloads with bookmarking sites such as StumbleUpon, Digg, and Del.icio.us. These websites have millions of members who design their web searches to find content such as yours. Take advantage and make the best of what these website traffic builders have to offer.

StumbleUpon

Create a user account with StumbleUpon.com and post a link to your real estate website. Although StumbleUpon does not condone self-promotion of websites, you can post a link on your account profile, gather friends, and encourage them and others to view your site. Each time a viewer is directed to your real estate website they can rate it “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”. If you can acquire even a handful of positive ratings StumblUpon’s magical algorithm technology can subsequently send hundreds, even thousands, more visitors.

Digg

Digg.com is another social bookmarking website similar to StumbleUpon, but the content on Digg is submitted and promoted by its members. When your real estate website is submitted to Digg, it will become viewed and rated. The websites that receive the best feedback may also appear on the “front page” of Digg, where potentially millions of viewers can suddenly flood to your website.

Del.icio.us

Del.icio.us also uses the power of community sharing to promote websites. With an account at Del.icio.us you save your favorite websites as bookmarks and share them with your friends and others using Del.icio.us. You can save your best article content on Del.icio.us and promote and direct traffic to your real estate website.
