Help grow each of your favorite social bookmarking sites by inviting your friends and colleagues to become members. Very few individuals understand that time interval between submissions is extremely important in social bookmarking and website promotion. Where you have the option, develop a large friend's list, so that you can easily share bookmarks. Bookmark, tag or comment on others' bookmarks. Pay attention to the headlines of content that you put on sties. Should be provocative and should also drive attention of the readers. Many great articles go unnoticed on social bookmarking sites because their headline is not catchy enough. Your headline is the first thing users will see from your article, so if you don’t make the effort to provide a catchy headline, your chances of getting to the front page are small.

Some elements that if included in the content will publicize it more easily

Offbeat / Unusual

Everyone loves a story about the unusual or unique. Offbeat items attract attention and interest. Keep it real, though.

Controversial

For better or worse, controversy attracts attention. Well-timed controversial subject matter often gains traction on social networks. Taking a stand on controversial subject also generates a lot of comments (although not always positive).

Humor

The video segments on JibJab never fail to cause a stir. In fact, the most popular YouTube video clips are often mundane subjects portrayed in a ridiculous or silly way. That said, they are popular and have a high rating and large number of views.

Outrageous

It is smart to be bold. Outlandish stories that make you shake your head often get high numbers of votes on social websites.

Timely

Items that are timely are critical. Old news is not news, and will quickly be buried in favor items that are current.

Satirical

If you are able to pull off a satire that contains fact and humor, it too could perform well on a social website.
