Social Bookmarking and SEO
You probably know about the social networks and the importance that social bookmarking is for SEO. The search engines look for trust in web sites to push them up the ranking pages and this trust is gained from links to the pages themselves. From websites, blogs, forums and just about anywhere the more places your site gets links from the better the traffic and the rewards. Of course getting lots of links to your site is not as easy as it sounds, try mailing a few webmasters asking for links if you don’t believe me. However there is one area where you can get links, links that are highly valued by the search engines and will even bring you traffic – these are the sites like Digg and Stumble to name but a few.
The Role of Social Bookmarking in Your SEO Strategy
It’s true these sites play a huge part in a successful SEO strategy, and people who know how to leverage the power of these sites are reaping the rewards. The problem is that to gain links from these sites, valuable links you need to get lots of them. It’s no real use to log in to your own account and just bookmark your own sites. These will have little effect on your rankings, know you need lots of links, lots of recommendations to start seeing benefits but believe me they are worth it.
So what do you do ? Of course you could create hundreds of accounts and profiles and slowly bookmark your site and hundreds of others. This is going to take forever and unfortunately if these all come from the same IP address at best your links will get ignored but more likely your accounts will get deleted.
There is of course one obvious solution and that is to form big groups and arrange to bookmark each others web sites. This actually works well, the problem is that it is very time consuming and also needs someone to ensure that everyone sticks to their part of the deal. It does work to an extent, but to be honest it becomes very time consuming and the effect diminishes in my experience. There are a few firms who coordinate these groups and of course charge for the benefit. It’s something that I did for some time but gradually the time needed seemed to exceed the benefit so this particular form of Social bookmarking seo.
There is another option though and this system is nothing short of revolutionary, I’ve been a member of this system since it started at the beginning of last year. It’s an incredible system, that works extremely well and it’s called SocialADR , the system is completely automated. You sign up to the selected social bookmarking sites, which takes a few minutes then submit the web pages you wish to be bookmarked.
You earn credits by sharing other peoples websites, but you just click share on ones you fancy and it’s done. When your credits are in balance people will use the system to bookmark your websites. Each click shares on 17 social networking sites automatically. I have about 7500 links from this system and my sites are doing incredibly well (so well I gave up my day job earlier this year!.)
This is Social bookmarking SEO of the future, this system is so far ahead of anything else out there you’ll be stunned. There is a basic version with limited shares which is free – Free Backlinks to Site;. Check it out, truly incredible tool run by some really genuine people, if you get one the higher plans it basically is just set and forget – as far as social bookmarking tasks of SEO you’ve got it covered for whichever site you need.
I’ve found it particularly useful for some of my gambling sites, it’s quite tricky to get links for these sites – gambling seems to have some sort of seedy reputation online despite literally billions of people actively enjoying the pastime. These bookmarking sites are a handy source of links for such sites though and you tend to get a very positive effect especially if you spin the descriptions well.
At the end of the day the best social bookmarking is from thousands of different people, from thousands of different locations naturally linking to your site – but for sites never likely to go viral like this – these tools are an essential part of your Social bookmarking SEO toolkit.
I am using SocialAdr since some time, a friend recommended it to me. I have to say that it shows some awesome results and the best of all, it is really juts fire and forget. No boring copy and paste anymore when bookmarking your sites.
I’m glad it’s working well for you Jaroslawa.
Although I think I’m going to do some more tests with SocialAdr.
It is an impressive looking system, although I am slightly undecided about it’s continuing effectiveness. It initially gave my pages a big boost, but the last few months I’ve seen little benefit from the links. I do want to continue with it because it’s a quality product and the owners are very genuine.
Bottom line though – results are more important than the interface
I had similar issues with Socialadr until recently. I’m not sure if it’s me being more focussed in using it or the new features (particularly like the way my links are Tweeted by other members!). But I’m starting to get some very postive SEO boosts and even traffic from the bigger Boomarking sites. I’ve been subscribed for nearly two years and one of the very few services that has long lasting value IMHO!
think I’ll stick to the online methods and use tools and concepts like social bookmarking SEO to drive customers to online offers. However if you want a link to the Offline Arbitrage System
It looks like SocialADR has been a big beneficiary of the latest Google Algorithm update. I’ve been on the verge of quitting for months now – but I’m very, very glad I didn’t.
Google is looking for social signals and weighting them heavily much more than standard links. This system can supply Google +1s, Facebook and Twitter shares plus a host of popular bookmarking sites.
If you don’t have these pointing at your site – you need to soon !!!
Manual social bookmarking really works to improve your site’s ranking. Some of its benefits are:
1. Social signals from quality social bookmarks. Google LOVES it!
2. Get your site/url indexed in a short time.
3. It is Penguin friendly as long as you don’t spam to HUNDREDS of bookmarking sites.
You can outsource social bookmarking tasks at Fiverr, as there are plenty gigs that will bookmark your URL to 15-25 social bookmarking sites for $5. I would recommend one express gig from a seller named “norbwinslow” who manually bookmarks your URL to 21 PR4-PR8 social bookmarking sites. He also pings your site and share it on Facebook and Twitter (great to index and gain variety of backlinks).
There are few great sellers too, such as ecnarret and fvchamp, but norbwinslow has provide more extras and bonuses, which makes a difference for me. You can also do it yourself by creating 20 accounts from high PR social bookmarking websites, and bookmark all your sites and backlinks
Thanks Deidra that’s useful information.
