@Stu, it could help, though comment links will have an even lower conversion rate.

Do you think this method is effective if you are engaging in a conversation within the comments?

This is a great tip as the more quality content you put out on the social networks, the more credibility you gain and thus people will pay attention to posts later submitted. Great stuff!

I love how Daniel just throws in the %1 click through rate in there. There is no way to determine this. It would be different for each social media website(digg, stumble, buzz, etc). . .it would be different for each link(where it’s at, how you’re linked). . .it would even be different for the person that submitted you to the social media website.

What a cunning tactic! I can see how this could work well not only for you, but also for the blogger kind enough to link to you. May go and try it with my guest post on ProBlogger (“Choosing Your Categories” if anyone’s interested in having a read) …

A good idea, but seems like a lot of work for a smaller percentage of clickthroughs.

This can be really affective, you just have to look at John Chows success from this method. Be prepared to spend a lot of time befriending users on these sites before you have any chance of getting your articles promoted to the top positions mind…

I am just tapping into the SN idea…(I know SLOW).
Could you direct me to one of your posts that might help me get the foundation understanding of how and why they work for your blog, which one to start with, and how to cultivate it’s effectiveness?
Thanks so much for all you publish here!

Great tip. I’ve got a bit of catching up with these posts and will start to apply your traffic tips.

Thanks for the great post. Would this idea work if every time that someone posted one of my ezine articles on their site I promote it? I am trying to understand the concept. I never put the ezine articles on my own site.

Great post, I think it this method has been nicknamed Link Boosting. Because as you boost the site linking to you it will boost the power of your link and possibly the pr of your site.

What social bookmarking sizes you usually use? And how often do you bookmark a site?

its a great way to promote your own content a little more subtlety then bookmarking your own site. Not to mention you’ll end up getting a little more link juice in the long run more then likely.
