One must know that it is not at all impossible or far from your reach to enter into the front page listings of these sites. There are many sites which have got very good opportunities with reddit, digg and del.icio.us by following simple steps many times. Here is a list of 12 important things to consider that will help you in taking over the world wide web:

Always Pay Attention to Headlines
 
Headline is the first and the most catchy element of an article. Usually most of the write ups go unnoticed because of their dull headlines. Make an extra effort to design an attractive and catchy line for your article.
 
Meaningful and Short Description
 
We know that heading plays a key role in drawing the attention of readers and a meaningful description bounds him to read further. Always keep in mind that your description should be provocative, as this will compel the visitor to find out the ingredients and focus of the entire article.
 
Stop yourself from writing any description beyond 100-150 characters because many social bookmarking sites have a limited description feature. Get used to it.
 
Get a Great Start
 
This rule is important for a successful bookmarking. If you have been able to get the reader go on with the article, don’t lower down the impression by a bad first para.
 
Content is All What Matters
 
Your article is trash without proper content, even if it has a catchy headline, informative description and a great looking first para. And do remember that bookmarking a trashy item is of no use. You can get first time visitors by posting such a write up, but forget about repetitive readers. A bad content can get your site banned from many social bookmarking sites.
 
The Best Time To Submit
 
Time of submission plays a crucial role in getting your site on front page. In maximum cases, you have only 24 hours to get your site on front page and stay there. So, find out the time when most of your users are not sleeping. If your target is a US visitor, always remember that you will get more traffic around 3pm. And do keep in mind that working days offer better reader numbers than a weekend.
 
Submit in Right Category
 
Most of the owners complain about a particular site not working for them. The reason could be wrong selection of category. There are chances that you have submitted the technology article in a general category, where most of the unclassified stuff resides.
 
Get Easy on to Vote and Bookmark Site Options
 
It is always a good news for the site, when people other than the site members start bookmarking it. Therefore, get the best options to make bookmarking easy for them. There are many ways to do it, like adding a bookmarking button at the end of the writing. If you are CMS, find out if it allows you to add digg, del.icio.us buttons, while in case of HTML, you can go to a social bookmarking site for copying the code, which will later add the button on your site page.
 
Having a Top Profile
 
If you have lots of interesting stuff on your page, your submission will get noticed. If you post links to other article sites, you build a top profile. But, do remember that too many links on a site can develop the feeling of self-promotion in the minds of social bookmarking sites.
 
Submission in English
 
As maximum readers are from English speaking countries, it becomes difficult for them to understand other languages. Therefore, English is the most preferred language. If your story is written in some other language and you really want to submit it, atleast translate the title into English.
 
Always Submit a Fresh News
 
If your article is talking about an event of the past, it’s of no use to the reader. But, if you want to write on an old event, write feature articles, howto’s and similar things that can be updated for a long time.
 
Crosscheck the Facts
 
Mentioning wrong facts means playing with your credibility. There are chances of your readers giving sarcastic comments or negative votes for the write up.
 
Always Get in Touch and Cooperate with Other Social Bookmarkers
 
If you get atleast 15 votes from friends and supporters within first hours of article submission, the chances of others voting for you increases. If you get 50 votes, you are on the top page of the bookmarking site.
