I've read answer after answer regarding questions about blog promotion. Article submissions, blog carnivals, comments, social bookmarking, etc...

But what if it's a social bookmarking site that I'm trying to promote? I can't exactly submit anything to Digg/Reddit/Mixx... And I don't have articles to submit to blog carnivals or any other article submission services. Any thoughts or ideas?

Hmm... you're in a tough position. Directories don't give traffic in my opinion. I think your best bet is to pay someone to post links to interesting articles or do it yourself using many accounts and stumble them. Then hope people see your social bookmarking site and that they will stay.

Well, you can try to contact those sites that provides widgets to websites and blogs that has icons for easy access to different social bookmarking sites and ask them (it could be paid or free) to include your icon for easy access.

I would suggest simply generating a buzz about yourself, promote yourself via blog comments, etc. and hope that somebody picks up on it. Writing a few emails couldn't hurt either.

Thanks for the tips guys. I have begun to see a bit of buzz around. At least two blogs have picked up on us, and begun promoting us more actively. Hopefully this keeps up!

I've thought about contacting the "addthis" sort of companies, but I would prefer to wait until we've grown a bit before I make that step... Although I guess the worst they could do is say "piss off"... hmmmm

If you can't write articles hire somebody that will do it for you.

promoting yourself via blog comments? I don't think that wouldn't be a nice idea. blog owners could delete your comment and even ban you from their sites. If you would comment on blogs, do it as to give a sensible comment or answer not to just promote yourself.

I think you should go and join numbers of Internet marketing forums and promote your Bookmarking sites there by open new treads and make announcement

Hmm

Or spammy sig links as you would for a "SEO Contest"

i've gotten on the idea of creating a dozen or so blogs and linking to the site, as well as entering the blog on the original site into social bookmarks, and uploading videos to all the video sites with urls in the descrip. a multi-faceted approach, if you will.
