Social Bookmarking, Does it works?

By Amarendra Bhushan for CEOWORLD Magazine Updated:December 7, 2007

Today, I will be going to elucidate something that is still comparatively nascent in the Internet Marketing showground: Social Bookmarking. Social Bookmarking is essentially using a social bookmarking service to bookmark your webpages or blog posts, so that other users of the bookmarking site can visit. When you bookmark a site, you tag it with keywords, and people can search for the keywords that echo their interests at the social bookmarking site.

Does it work? Absolutely! In fact, this is a very quick way to produce really good traffic to your site – for free. Again, you will want to try to get them on your opt-in list, once they arrive at your site, so that you can bring them back again and again. Become aware of that I said ‘really high-quality traffic.’ This is high-quality traffic because the visitor finds your site by searching for the keywords that you’ve used when you bookmarked it. They are essentially looking for you. For this reason, it is very important to use keyword tags, for each page, that are absolutely relevant to the content on that page. Don’t try to use unrelated keywords, this approach simply won’t work.

There are numerous social bookmarking sites out there, and drumming them all, to bookmark each page of your website, could literally take days, if not weeks. Fortunately, there are social bookmarking services that which I think you should consider.

List the keywords that are associated with the page you are bookmarking, and hit submit. You’re done with that page – move on to the next one. Nothing could be easier, and again, it is very effective.
