For anyone who is looking to establish or build upon an online marketing presence, it is important not to dismiss the benefits of social bookmarking. Basically, social bookmarking allows internet users to search, organize, manage, and share bookmarks of website resources.
Granted, social bookmarking may take some effort, but it is definitely worthwhile. Why? Because it increases the number of backlinks to your website. When dealing with search engine optimisation (optimization), or SEO, link building is highly important. Be sure to use social bookmarking websites that have the “do-follow attribute.” The will help ensure the your link building strategies and social bookmarking efforts actually complement on another.
You may have heard about people claiming that social bookmarking provides “top of the page” search engine rankings quickly and with little effort. Be cautious about all of this. I am not dismissing the concept outright. After all, social bookmarking does allow you to publicize the content of your website and attract more visitors/readers. Hopefully, your content will be well received, which will, in turn, lead to bookmarks from others, followed by more backlinks. Keep in mind that you probably won’t get high quality traffic from social bookmarking websites. In general, most people quickly click on the links, and leave the page of content just as quickly. However, this is still important because their visits, or bookmarks, gives your website authority. This helps increase the number of visitors to your website.
Do not use social bookmarking excessively as this may lead to your website being penalized by the various search engines.
