I came across this infographic thanks to Bonnie's Pinterest boards and tweets (seriously, if you aren't following already, do it!) and I had to share it! There are so many of us who consistently post great content but don't get the feedback that we think we deserve for it. Maybe you aren't promoting your posts to their full potential. 

As many of you know, my day job is in PR + Marketing. Even though I work with it everyday, I am constantly learning new techniques to help myself, my clients, and my blog. It's always good to brush up on these things. It's kind of ironic actually - I work so hard with my clients but then forget some of the simple marketing techniques when working on something of my own. I realized this the other day when I was catching up on some of my favorite blogs. I sat there and thought about when and if I had ever communicated with this blogger. The answer was no. I realized that I had been reading certain blogs for months or even years and had never commented. I couldn't believe myself!

Also, I had never considered bookmarking my posts until now. In fact, I'm embarrassed to say that I've never used Reddit, Digg, or StumbleUpon. Do you use them? And if so, do you find them useful? Bloggers, do you receive traffic from any of those sites?

Is there anything that you would add to this list?
