Long-Term Social Bookmarking Techniques for You To Test
0
Thousands of people have put social bookmarking to powerful use for off-page optimization plus various marketing strategies. There seems to be no let-up with their reputation, especially for off-page SEO purposes. However, there are long-term strategic methods that may be used at the more heavy weight bookmarking sites. However we do realize people are all different, and some people favor certain methods over others. If you have not been around IM much, then a bookmarking site is simply just a site where you can place bookmarks on the net. You can assign tags (keywords) to your bookmarks, and that actually has SEO benefits but a lot depends on the particular site.
Several years ago the more popular bookmark sites made all their links to nofollow which had a huge impact on bookmark rankings. Places like Technorati and Digg, plus a few others, were able to rule the first pages of SERPS in Google due to their high PR status. Naturally, I make conjecture about any impact Google had with those modifying their links to nofollow. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that took place.
However there is a lot you can do with certain approaches at these highly trafficked sites. What can cause issues with so many profiles for backlinking is those profiles are not properly written or anything resembling high quality. You’ll find a few more strategically minded marketers who take the time and create high quality bookmark profiles. They have discovered that the more ‘full bodied’ profiles don’t get deleted and have a longer shelf life. This truly is the best way to go for many reasons, and you will have the opportunity to use them for powerful bookmarking for a long time.
Additionally, a good profile with solid content can be used for RSS feed creation which is fantastic. That means you will be able to post those feeds to RSS directories, plus they are able to get indexed. Consider the added benefit of more exposure for your links in those feeds. But you do have to take care and exercise caution so you aren’t over-promoting because that can cause loss of subscribers to your feed.
There’s a balance that you have to hold with the amount of content and different marketing methods in your feeds. You can accomplish a lot if you have solid associations in place at bookmarking sites. It is best to maintain a respectful presence at social bookmarking sites, and if you do that then you will discover it serves you well.
There is freedom inherent with dealing with bookmarking sites; so how well you make use of them is your business. We all probably realize most marketers only want the off page SEO value with bookmarking sites, and that is cool. Perhaps you can try it at just one powerful bookmarking site and see how you like the results.
