Just When You Thought You Knew All About Social Bookmarking Sites…Ha!

by Josh Garcia on April 19, 2010

Social Bookmarking Sites

Do you even know that Social bookmarking sites is a great way to increase your readership?

I don’t think a lot of people are taking advantage of what these sites have to offer you.

Here you are as a business owner. You are offering a service or a product. You can get the word out to thousands of untapped audiences by sharing your information.

Advantage for a new marketer

Understand that social bookmarking sites has not yet hit the mainstream like Social Media sites. So this gives you the advantage as a brand new internet marketer.

Not to mention as a brand new internet marketer you have a huge opportunity to build a great number of backlinks to your blog very quickly.

There are a lot of social bookmarking sites that are available. Some of the most popular ones are Digg, Delicious, and Stumble Upon. Understand that these sites give users the opportunity to use a powerful method of marketing using viral marketing.

What makes it so great to use, readers can use your links that you provide and post them for other readers to enjoy. This create traffic to your blog.

Sites like Digg receives tons of traffic daily. If you submit an article and using keywords properly. You have the potential to receive a great number of traffic very quickly.

Why not share

Let’s say you read some material and it’s not newsworthy. Here is what I’ll say…So what! Go ahead and submit it anyway. You are still creating a backlink for that article. It helps out by receiving more incoming links and search engines love to see this.

Remember, you don’t want to be greedy and only submit your own material. Go ahead and submit other marketers material as well. It doesn’t matter if its a written post, video post, or just pictures. Submit everything!

You see it’s called social bookmarking because it’s social. It’s a community of individuals contributing other sites. That is why it’s important to bookmark other sites that are not yours.

Don’t wait any longer

Ok…hopefully you see the importance why social bookmarking sites will benefit you as a business owner and internet marketer. It’s a great way to receive more traffic, more backlinks, and more readers.

Now you have it! Simple solution to make your business blog more profitable while helping other marketers at the same time.

Good Morning Josh,

I use about 30 bookmarking sites through onlywire’s, one button blaster. This is great and saves time.

I tell everyone that is learning about social bookmarking to make sure you are just not doing your own material. Make sure you are mixing it up.

I do DIGG it, will try it later, not working from my Blackberry.

Have a great day,
Tommy

Good Morning Josh,

Ironic that your post is on Social Bookmarking.

I had planned to set my onlywire accts. up, even sent my little guy to my dad’s to spend the night. As you know, I ended up spending the weekend dealing with a massive computer virus instead of doing that.

I’ve notice the impact it has on blogs and think it’s a great tool to utilize.

Guess I’ll be working one evening burning the midnight oil on that one : )

Have a great day!

Good Morning Twila,

It is well worth it to spend 1-2 hours setting up accounts with social bookmarking site. You will see a tremendous jump in traffic.

I believe you got that virus out of the computer. Hopefully you didn’t get to lose any pictures.

Have a great day!

Bookmarking is social proof in the eyes of Oogle! The more times your content gets bookmarks, the more backlinks you get and the more Oogle will start viewing your page as an authority. One caveat, it is much better to let someone else bookmark your stuff first before you do your own. I guess Oogle views it as self promotion and doesn’t give it near as much weight as if someone else BMs it first.

This is a great place to begin Josh.

I was about to say something else, then I couldn’t help but notice Eric’s comment. He’s right. Having others promote and BM your posts is preferred. This way your blog will be perceived as a knowledgeable/reputable source.

This is oppose to the blog owner BM’ing their own content.

Have a good day,

Hi Jerome,

BM is for sure a must have for traffic generation. That is why it’s important to bookmark other marketers work regardless if its video, written, or just pictures.

Hi Wayne,

It is important to bookmark other people’s work not just your own. For some reason, some folks only bookmark their own work and that kind of defeats the purpose of being social. That is more like being selfish.

Have a great day!

Now, are you sure it was the sonic boom from the shuttle landing?
Or could it have been the sound of your business breaking the sound barrier?

Wow, I must admit that I’ve been neglecting social bookmarking as a way to promote my blog. It’s such a total no brainer! My only concern would be that I don’t want to make my blog format all messy with like a million submission buttons for various sites, but I’m sure I can work something out.

Thanks for the great advice!

Hi Marek,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

You don’t have to have all of those messy submission buttons. Just install ‘OnlyWire’ button. You’ll have to setup about 20-30 social bookmarking accounts. After that is done…It’s done! With just one click it will submit to every account you have setup. That’s pretty cool. :)

Have a great day!

Susanna Hess April 20, 2010 at 12:49 am

Hey Josh,

I’m starting to think I need to sign up on more of these bookmarking sites. I’m seeing more and more references to this…

As Derek said, obviously it works, dang your rank is awesome. Of course that may have something to do with the incredible content you never fail to provide. ;)

Make it a great day!

Josh,

Great headline. Social bookmarks are critical to driving traffic. I didn’t see the point until I realized that the social media market is incredibly large and you never know where people hang out at. You might as well put your content everywhere right? OnlyWire rules!

Hi Josh,

thanks for explaining to people the idea of social bookmarking. I always wonder why most people don’t use it consistently. Is it because of ignorance or laziness, or both ?

Take care

Oliver

Josh Garcia July 10, 2011 at 6:29 pm

Hi Oliver,

It’s a combination of both. Some individuals believe that it takes too much time to submit. That is why there are submission buttons available.

Have a great day…
Josh
