Optimizing content for search engines and social media is not easy, in fact it’s quite complicated. Social sharing and link posting sites can have a big impact on the success of your content marketing. It can also help with your link building efforts.

Not only can they help you get more traffic, but they can also help your content’s SEO by generating backlinks to it. But how do you know what sites on which to share your content? We wrote this guide to help get you started.

Social Sharing & Link Posting Sites

There are a variety of different social sharing sites you can use to help promote your content. In our list below, we include more than 50 of the sites that we have the experience to recommend, but there are so many others you can try.

1. Twitter

Twitter is a social sharing site that is great for sharing all kinds of content. You can engage with your followers as well as influencers as part of your social media strategy. If you do it right, you can develop a good-sized following of people who love to consume your content.

There are two benefits to Twitter. First, to increase the traffic you get from social media. Second, for some people who follow you to link to it on their own site.

2. Pinterest

Pinterest is one of the most commonly used “social bookmarking site”. People “pin” content they like to their board. It lets them go back to it later and share things that interest them with others. It is especially great for sharing images, and is one of the best image SEO tools you can use.

3. Mix (previously StumbleUpon)

Another very popular social bookmarking site, Mix made its name for being extremely user friendly. Like Pinterest, it allows you to share content and your bookmarked content to other people. Having high-quality content and growing a following can really help create a network of people who organically share your work.

You might also be able to find other designers to do collaborative projects with.

Pocket is a site and an app that people can use to “pocket” things they find on the internet or on an app that they like. The calling card for Pocket is that you can fully access content even offline once you bookmark it.

Digg is another major bookmarking platform that helps people customize their content feed. They can browse by various topics and save content they find for later. They can also curate the content they find to make it easier to find more things that interest them.
