Good mix of ideas above — called out viral/word‑of‑mouth, and others pointed to bookmarking, and noted gains from article-style content. The following is a compact, low‑cost plan that converts those broad tactics into repeatable steps and avoids common traps like mass auto‑submissions (a point worth noting after ).

Start with one narrow, genuinely useful “linkable asset” that answers a single problem end‑to‑end. Steps: pick a specific question readers search for; write a focused, actionable guide (concise but complete); add a one‑page printable cheat sheet as a lightweight content upgrade to capture opt‑in emails; break the guide into several micro‑posts (short excerpts + one clear image) for distribution. On‑page attention to headline clarity and a tight one‑line summary dramatically improves clicks and shares.

Distribution should favour quality over quantity. Target 4–6 relevant hubs where the intended audience actually spends time, send short personalized outreach (who, why it helps their readers, offer an excerpt), and answer niche forum/Q&A threads with a 1–2 sentence solution plus a link to the asset for details. Avoid blasting dozens of low‑quality sites or relying solely on submission tools — good manual placement and a short, polite pitch beat volume.

Measure, iterate, repeat. Track visits, referral sources and signups with free analytics; if the asset gets little traction after a few weeks, rewrite the headline, change the featured image, add an FAQ, and re‑pitch to a fresh set of contacts. Quick weekly 30‑minute checklist:

  • Create/repurpose one micro‑post from the asset
  • Answer two relevant questions in forums or Q&A sites
  • Pitch one potentially interested site or partner
  • Review analytics and tweak headline/meta if CTR is low

Fewer, well‑executed actions and steady iteration tend to outperform spraying links everywhere.

Viral marketing ... word of mouth. Create something catchy and unique that people will naturally want to tell their friends about, link to, etc.

When you say "play well" what exactly do you mean, or what kind of strategies do you have in mind?

* Find high PR free Internet directories and enlist your site there.
* Release your writing prowess and start up a press release that will advertises your site.
* write a free e-book, send a Press Release to the media, your clients, friends and associates.
* You can make a banner ad for your site and ask another webmaster to do the same for his site,then you will swap.

What are the best social bookmarking sites?

The biggest sites (like delicious) don't pass on PR. However, following are a couple lists you might find helpful. The first one is a list of bookmarking sites that pass on PR, so they help your site rank higher in searches. The second one is a list of bookmarking sites that actually send traffic (most don't. Neither do directories, which provide virtually no benefit in terms of PR either).
