One good thing about these Social bookmarking sites is,you will get instant traffic.Just register with them,store your bookmarks,tags,.. and you are done,See your site meter blasting with traffic.

Some of the popular article directories are goarticles.com,ezinearticles.com,articlecity.com,etc. There are hundreds of article directories,just google it.
