Does social bookmarking still work?
Social bookmarking was at one time a very quick and easy way to get dozens, even hundreds of backlinks to a website.
It almost didn’t matter what you marked because it was new and hadn’t been abused yet.
That was until people started figuring out ways to create multiple accounts so they could hide their tracks and multiply backlinks to their sites by the thousands, but…
It wasn’t long before the administrators of these sites, as well as Google itself, began to discover the traces that these individuals would leave in their efforts to deceive the search engines.
As a result, the value of social bookmarking backlinks began to rapidly decline and almost became useless.
But they are not entirely useless and can still have a favorable impact on your traffic campaigns.
The key is to avoid flagging duplicate content on hundreds of sites at once.
What I mean is that if you write an article and submit it to 100 article directories or web 2.0 sites, don’t bookmark every single one of those sites that features that article.
Also, if you write 10 articles and flag all your articles at the same time on all the same sites, your account will be flagged and you will most likely be banned from submitting any more content.
So the key to social bookmarking is to submit one or two different articles per day from different sites that have your content.
To make sure you get a decent amount of backlinks from social bookmarking, it’s best to have a list of at least 50 sites that you can bookmark your content on.
This will give you the opportunity to flag all your content without the threat of looking like a spammer.
This can take quite a while, but if you do a little each day as part of your overall traffic routine, you’ll definitely see a positive impact on your results.
If you’re able to hire the job of social bookmarking your content based on the information I just shared, you can focus on other, more profitable aspects of your Internet business.
Yes, social bookmarking still works, and there are plenty of tools on the market that can help you automate the process, but be careful not to overdo it so it doesn’t end up working against you.
