6 Ways to Turn Diigo Into a Traffic Booster

Unless you are able to create tons exquisite content on quite a few hot tags of Diigo, just bookmarking your own articles won’t get you very far. So what other ways are there to use Diigo as a traffic generator?

Overheard:
Everything people are saying on Twitter about the products and companies you care about.

Il en est des services de bokmarkings comme des opérateurs de téléphonie mobile ou des bons chocolatiers : le confort de l’habitude entraîne un important taux de fidélité et une forte résistance au changement. Importer ses bookmarks, changer ses habitudes… sans avoir la certitude d’être convaincu. Au final, le mieux reste l’ennemi du bien.

In Love with diigo Farewell del.icio.us

After seeing its attractive new features I have been unfaithful to Delicious, my bookmarking partner of 5 years, and fallen in love with the younger and more versatile diigo.

Diigo 3 was launched 20th March 2008, showing a new maturity. After seeing its attractive new features I have been unfaithful to Delicious, my bookmarking partner of 5 years, and fallen in love with the younger and more versatile diigo.

Diigo has refined a social annotation and collaboration service into an even more effective “personal and group oriented tool”.

a platform for gather, using and sharing information. Not just any information, but highly filtered and relevant information beyond the weightiness of full Web pages and extraneous data.

Group tagging, allows entire groups to suggest the best of the best and in this fashion good content (voted on by a collective) tends to rise to the top. The results of group activity are utilized in this way and add to group as well as community content value.

How to customize Diigo toolbar

About a year ago I heard about a social bookmark site called Diigo.  I saw it as another Delicious clone but figured I would look at it a bit deeper it just seemed to be more.  It was a good decision!

Since that time I have been using Diigo and their tool bar every day.   I use it to keep sites I want to find very easy to find and sort and search.  I use it to market my own sites and to put my sites into all the other top book mark sites including delicious.  I also use it to improve my daily productivity and the beauty is once set up it takes up no extra time to use it.  It becomes seamlessly integrated into your daily efforts.

I just did three training Videos on Diigo for our paying members, they are called,

• Social Bookmarking With The Diigo Tool Bar 
• Using Diigo To Mass Social Bookmark Web Sites
• Cool Marketing Productivity Features With Diigo

If you don't know about social book mark sites these videos will teach you what you need to know.  If you do know about them then these videos will take your efforts to a new level.  The social bookmark sites are going to become the Google, Yahoo and Ask.com's of tomorrow so now the time to get into them and build up your presence.

We jumped in with both feet to Diigo.  Using Yugma we set up the Diigo toolbar, created a group for Making Connections, and added sticky notes to those pages.  We all agreed this tool has great possibilities in a classroom setting. 

Actually I love using lots of different technology to help me in my research, especially since my ethnography work last year was mostly cyberethnography. Personally, I've taken to using del.icio.us, Diigo, and Scrapbook (I love this one), extensions for Firefox, 30 Boxes, NetVibes, and Google docs and spreadsheets (helpful because I don't own a copy of Word but it's on every one of the computers at uni), Google Notebook, and iGoogle (personalised google page).
