You have probably heard plenty about social bookmarking lately. As a matter of fact, it is possible to spend many hundreds dollars now just to learn what that is all about. Well, not here. I am giving you this information.I did the research and found this to be a super way to have more traffic to your website. The best news is, it’s 100% FREE.
What is Social Bookmarking?
It’s a public list of your favorites. Not all your favorites, just the favorites you would like to impart with others. You are able to add any website to your public list and retrieve it from any computer. (This can be done on someone else’s server, not your laptop)
When you list a site inside your bookmark list, anyone trying to find that same type of information can perform a search at the bookmark site and find the sites you have bookmarked. It is like a search engine without all the trash.
If you do a search in the search engine, you get the whole set of sites that have something to try and do with the keywords you typed into the search box. It is easy to get a bunch of garbage sites which can be loaded up with keywords but have poor content on the actual site.
The beauty of social bookmarking sites is the only real sites you will discover there is sites that other people have looked at and determined were worth saving for future reference. Real people have decided to save (bookmark) the sites, not robots. Real individuals also monitor the sites so if trash does get added, it is soon deleted.
The more individuals who bookmark a site, the more admired it becomes. For instance, lets say you are selling widgets for a really great price. You bookmark your home page on many public bookmarking sites. When someone is looking for a widget, they do a search in the bookmarking web site and your bookmark comes up. They go look at your site and decide your prices are so good, they need to return later when they need another widget. So they add your site to their bookmarks for future reference.
When someone goes to one of these internet sites and types widgets into the search box, your site listing will come up in the search. If lots of people have bookmarked your site, you will be listed high in the search results. It’s kind of like a voting system. If you site is good enough to bookmark, others will want to see what all the fuss is about.
Unlike search engines where all you need to do is good seo, the sites you’ll discover inside Social Bookmarking internet sites are quality sites that other people loved enough to save. You do not really have to have a good site to get listed in the search engines.
How do you get started?
Do a search for social bookmarking, many sites will come up. Go to each site and register for an account. It’s FREE! After you have your account set up, start listing your site. Be sure you add proper tags to your listing.
Tags are the same as keywords that has a twist. These sites will tell you what the most popular searches are on their site. You choose the tags designed to work with your site or page and are also a part of the popular list. Most of the sites will also offer a spot to write a small description of the site that you are bookmarking. Add a description that uses several of your tag words for added benefit.
Building popularity
Like anything that is worth doing, this will take you a while to get it all set up and running smooth however the end product are going to be very well worth your effort.
Begin with one bookmarking site and one page from your site. (Start with your squeeze page and put together your newsletter list) Create your account using the bookmarking site and add your page to the bookmarks. Be sure to use the best tags and description you can. (Check the popularity list on the website) Doing this in itself will help you get more traffic. Now you can go one step further and work either side of the system.
Add a hyperlink to your site that will lead back to your bookmarking site containing your page bookmarked. Ask your visitors to bookmark your site in the social bookmarking site. Bookmark my website at Blinklist.com and access it from any computer, anytime. Make a link for the bookmarking site so your visitors only have to click. You need to make sure the page opens in a new window so when your site visitors are done setting up their account, they’ll still have your page handy to bookmark.
Now move on to the next page. You will want to offer a different bookmarking site on each page. Why? So you can get numerous bookmarks on as many sites as possible. Use the same information in the instance above but change the social bookmarking site that you are promoting.
Won’t this look odd to your visitors? No. Nearly everybody will ignore the suggestion once they have bookmarked your site. They will not even notice that you have changed the name of the link. They will see, Bookmark my site, and imagine, “I already did that”, and they’ll move on.
Final Note:
Don’t SPAM the sites. Be certain that what you will be listing is relevant and useful. You don’t want to bring traffic to some page that has nothing but links, you will likely get banned form the bookmarking site. Only bookmark your pages that have actual content. Ask yourself if you would really add this page to personal favorites list? If your answer is no then don’t list it.
