Social Bookmarking to increase your SERP and get highly targeted traffic
Social bookmarking is one of the best ways to get your websites ranking well and for getting direct traffic. Social bookmarking sites directly show what people are reading. They know marketers use it and know that the majority of sites that have multiple social bookmarks are of interest to real people.
You can take advantage of this and use social bookmarking to get your sites ranking well for their keywords.
Firstly, you need to open an account on some social bookmarking sites. Rather than social bookmark each site manually, look at software such as OnlyWire which semi-automates the process. This will make things a lot easier.
Then you need to find other people such as friends, family or marketers who will also set up an Onlywire account.
Then you basically trade bookmarks. They bookmark your site and you bookmark theirs in return.
Most marketer's sites are only bookmarked once, with the occasional one gaining more than one bookmark. The search engines are probably very aware of this and so pay more attention to sites that have multiple bookmarks on a single site.
This simple approach can easily get you many bookmarks and will give your sites a boost in the search engines.
Alternatively, you can outsource the bookmarking and hire people to do it for you. It can become expensive if you are creating a lot of sites. You will be able to find someone to do reasonably inexpensively on any of the marketing forums.
You can use the same method to sites such as Stumbleupon and Digg, both of which can potentially get you massive amounts of traffic. The sites expect their content to be more newsworthy and interesting. With a well written article you can expect thousands of visitors in a day, quite literally with a well written article.
It is possible for you to set up multiple social bookmarking accounts and bookmark your own sites. However, these sites are smart and will realise what you are doing unless you hide behind proxies. It isn't worth the trouble to do this because it is so easy to network with other marketers.
Trading bookmarks with other marketers helps to enhance your network of contacts. Potentially, these could turn in to profitable joint venture partners in the future.
Social bookmarking is an excellent means for you to obtain traffic from both the search engines and social bookmarking sites. You can get a large amount of traffic from improved search engine rankings.
