Building Backlinks with Social Bookmarking

As a naturally gregarious species, we humans still cater to our required “me” moments. Obviously, that most social of places, the internet, has a term called “Social Bookmarking. This is fairly new to the web but it is definitely a trend and a strong one in its development as a preferred link building tool.

So, What Is It?

What a preferred link building tool does is store and manage websites and web pages for you. You probably already round up and save links to your favorite sites. Then, you can find them with no trouble and share them if you want to. A social site offers web feeds to the social bookmarks as prepared by tag groups. What is “social” about this is that these building sites allow others to view your bookmarks. You are giving others the opportunity to be tagged, thereby upping the number of users who can now see pages that are of specific significance without having to undertake extensive searches on their own. At the same time, the user-tagged web pages they have saved on the social bookmarking preferred sites appear instantly as soon as a fresh tag is supplied.

Needle in a Haystack

As opposed to linking through blogs or linking other sites, social bookmarking is the preferred link building tool for many reasons. Algorithms are the usual method used to define a website’s significance and also its contents. Social bookmarking is different in that the tool uses search engine spiders to find specific tagged content. So this particular link building tool is actually executed by a person who understands what they are searching for and why.

The advantage of bookmarking over blog linking is its easy access to any reader of your site. If you add a simple button to your site, people can add your site to their social bookmarks to be shared with the web and other search engine spiders (very important!) with no trouble at all. As a team member with SEO (search engine optimization) Social Bookmarking can drive an increasing amount of traffic to your site with specific tagged words. By having the prospective of being a back link to your site, social bookmarking aids search spiders in finding your site without difficulty and allows them to frequently peruse and catalog the site.

Searching through the net to find an item is not something that makes anyone’s day. The very visible and clickable buttons available with social bookmarking effortlessly takes the user to the targeted website or webpage. Tagging is the device that allows users to accumulate the sites that appeal to them and that they want to return to. The retrieval process is made simpler because the user can choose the words himself in order to execute the search.

De.licio.us, google bookmarks, buzz, stumble, digg and oh so many more are some of the social bookmarking sites taking up cyberspace right now. You do not have to pick just one. Use them all. Bookmarks make your site better. More bookmarks make it more so.

Make Forum Posts – there are innumerable forums covering most topics and you can register for free at most of these. Search Google using your keywords and the word forum, in order to find an appropriate forum.

Posting Articles – for quality monitoring purposes, some article directories run through it before posting, while others do not, so you can find an article with a link to your site the same day. Others may select your article and put them on their site with your authorship information appearing below showing a direct link to your site.

Digg Sites – Digg is a fabulous site for you to post small quotes or abridged versions of your blog post, article post or absorbing text matter from your web site. It doesn’t take long at all for this to appear on their high ranking and busy pages, again offering a potential boost to your website traffic.

The Case for Article Marketing Outsourcing

The Holy Grail of success online is getting visitors to your website. Just like the local store, the more people visit your website, the more likely you are to make a living online. Online marketers spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to bring visitors to their websites. However, few are able to be successful in this endeavour.

We all know that article marketing may be the best method to promote your own website. The truth of the matter is that it is easier said than done. Have you ever tried to write even one article a day for your own website? It is hard. Now when someone tells you that you should do the same and place it in an article directory, most of us just give up the chase.

The whole idea about article marketing is that you are able to give yourself a footprint on the web without much effort. A quick scan through Ezine articles will show that for you to compete with the best, you need to come up with some 30 articles a day. To be honest; one article a day is enough for most of us.

The web has thankfully allowed us to hire writers from other countries who can accept to work for $3 an article. This is very enticing indeed. The only problem is that you will be lucky if you find someone who can actually write well. It is true that all that comes cheap is cheap.

All of a sudden you realise that in order to succeed in online business, you need to find a very good writer. This may entail having a big budget. The solution was easy. Since you are the judge of a quality writer, why not do the writing yourself?

The problem with writing for ourselves is that we are then left with very little time to market our own websites. There is no way you can succeed without marketing your online business. This is one of the reasons why websites that have very good content, tend to fizzle and die.

Why not take the easier option of having someone else do the promoting. There is nothing more boring and time consuming than article marketing. Reading through most blogs you would think that book-marking and commenting on other blogs is fun. It isnt. However, someone else would not mind doing it for a fee.

It is actually cheaper to outsource article marketing than article writing. Do not be surprised if you find a freelancer who is willing to be paid peanuts for such boring work. Outsourcing the marketing part of your online business guarantees that you continue giving your visitors the quality information they deserve.

Of course, you should always have a well thought out process of how your article is going to be promoted. This ensures that you get the most out of your outsourcer. It will not be long before you see your blog bringing you more traffic. All for a few dollars an hour for someone else to do the boring article marketing work that you hate.

We Have Some Clues From Balck Hat Forum

Today I received an email from BlackHatWorld.com, a forum talk about black hat SEO, saying:

BHW has been getting a FLOOD of traffic over the last 24 hours due to our appearances in Digg, boingboing and reddit over Craigslist spamming.
At one point during the day we had 4,000 guests online! The server took a beating but we have managed to stabilize things thanks to “Trophaeum”.

What useful message can you get from this email? Think about it for minutes. You see, they said they got a FLOOD of traffic by submitting one of their forum post into Digg, Reddit, and a post talking about it in BoingBoing. This is the most useful information we get from this email. Digg and Reddit are Social Bookmarking sites. As a smart SEO, you must have known how to do the same thing. I mean you can write some good contents on you website, then submit them into social bookmarking sites. If your contents are good enough, they will drive you floods of traffic back.

So why not try it right now?
