Hello friends,

The only two SEO methods I still use to get traffic are:

1. Submit my new page(s) or blog article(s) to social bookmarking sites.
2. Submit articles to article directories.

Some days I get more traffic and some days I get less traffic on my sites. When I check on my hosting stats, I see a few clicks from some article sites that I submit my articles to, and none from social bookmarking sites.

What did I do wrong?

How do I get and maintain traffic?

What else should I do?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

Short diagnosis and a practical next step: social bookmarking and article-directory submissions alone usually produce sporadic clicks but not steady, qualified traffic. The posts from , and point in the right direction — content and distribution matter — but sustainable growth comes from three linked pillars: people-first content, a sound technical/UX foundation, and measured promotion. Ignore blanket “X bookmarks per day” rules; focus on value, not volume.

Build topic authority, not isolated posts. Choose 3–5 core topics your site should own, create one deep pillar page for each, then publish a set of cluster pages that answer specific long-tail user questions and link them to the pillar. That topical structure improves relevance and makes new content compound over time. (developers.google.com)

Fix the basics that make search and users stay: mobile-first layout, HTTPS, and Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS). Run PageSpeed Insights and the Search Console Core Web Vitals report, prioritize fixes that move LCP below ~2.5s and CLS under ~0.1, and avoid intrusive interstitials that harm user experience. These factors are part of Google’s page-experience guidance and affect how content is rewarded. (developers.google.com)

Promote smartly and measure constantly. Favor outreach, targeted community posts, guest articles, and building an email list over mass automated submissions; Google’s systems now neutralize manipulative link schemes. Use Google Search Console and Analytics to track which queries and pages bring qualified visitors, then double down on the formats and topics that convert. Quick 30-day plan: (1) verify Search Console and fix any index/coverage errors, (2) pick one pillar topic and map 6 cluster pages, (3) run PageSpeed/Lighthouse and fix the top two CWV issues, (4) create one lead magnet + signup to capture repeat visitors. (developers.google.com)

If traffic still fluctuates after those steps, share specific pages and Search Console data for targeted troubleshooting (indexing problems, manual actions, or thin content are common culprits).

In my own experiences, using correct keywords as tags on social bookmarking sites and writing attractive reviews would be essential for success. Also, you could use social networking sites like twitter, facebook for traffic purpose.

Have a nice day,

Three things one has to concentrate to gain traffic through search engine optimization. First is relevant and quality content on a particular keyword usually related to the product/services. Second is link building, link exchange and reciprocal linking so more sites will be pointing to your site as reference. Last one is social media participation.

Press Release submission is another best way to get traffic for to your site.

If your articles are of any use to the Internet, they'll get found and read.

Maybe focus on uniquely emphasizing important keyphrases by crafting intelligently optimized content.

Search engine optimization is about amassing qualified Internet visitors by compelling them to click through the search results to your web pages; make the visit worthwhile for them.

May Be it is because you should not do more than 50-60 social bookmarkings per day... On a social bookmarking site google crawler comes after every one hour to crawl pages as there are instant approvals and visitors on social bookmarking sites.... if you do more than 50 per day Google may ban your website or pages ...........!!
