Backlinks are the name of the game in the new media, and promotion strategies that fail to take that into account fail. Enter SocialMarker, a free service for promoting your blogs and articles to 47 sites safely and easily. It handles all of the major sites like digg, but also submits to lesser known bookmarking sites like Blinklists.
The easist way to use the service is to put the link they provide you on your toolbar. Then it is as as simple as visiting the site you want to bookmark and clicking the link. Any meta-data such as URL, tags, title and excerpt of your post will autoload and all you have to do is click the boxes of the services you want to submit to.
All the submission screens load in a frame that manages them, allowing you to page forward and back between the different sites. In the bottom, the information, URL, excerpt, and tags you used will be saved in case a given site doesn’t accept the automation, so all you have to do is drag and drop the data into the form.
Then it’s just hitting submitting buttons. If you submit to these sites often, you probably won’t even have to log in.
I would advise all writers in the new media to use this site to promote your work. Backlinks and rating sites are invaluable to building your online presence, and establishing yourself as an authority includes letting people know you are an authority. There are programs out there that sell for $50-$100 that do less than this site does for free. The time it would take you to promote yourself manually could be better used writing and finding new work.
