A simple and non-spammy way to help gain a bit of extra promotion for your online writing work, is to create links to it on a social bookmarking site.

Social or shared bookmarks are becoming very popular, not only because it is handy for people to be able to access their bookmarks from anywhere, but also because searching through other people’s bookmarks can help you find quality sites faster than a typical search engine.

You just create an account on one of the many online bookmarking sites, and start saving your links. Other people can use the search features of the site, and may find your site this way. Though social bookmarking sites are getting huge, you will still have much less ranking competition than at a major search engine like Google.

The most popular bookmarking sharing site right now is del.icio.us, but there are many other ones such as Backflip and MyBookmarks.

By adding URLs for your online articles (either those published on your own site, or those written for others), you can increase your visibility and add more links back to your content. And it can help you stay organized as well, by creating an easy way for you to find the links to any of your online published material.
