Is Social Bookmarking Still Effective
So is social bookmarking a good way to get more backlinks? Of course it is a good way to get backlinks. They still work.
Backlinks from these sites are like appetizers, not the main meal. They are good, but there are not “everything”. Yet, still you should submit to social sites.
If you have time to do it manually why not?
If you can hire someone to do it why not?
If you can pay for a social bookmarking software why not?
It always important that you never reject a link if there is no real reason to do it.
What about those social bookmarking sites that are using the nofollow tag?
Those sites are not useless since for Yahoo and other search engines they still count as backlinks. For Google no, they don’t count.
But not all of them use the nofollow tag. You don’t pick up those that do not have the nofollow and submit to them. It will take ton of time researching.
Grab a software to do it automatically, or a service or hire people to do the researching and submission.
That’s why I just submit to social sites just one time, do it right and move on to another method to get backlinks. I still submit to them though. Social bookmarking websites though most of them are with the nofollow tag, because of spammers. Spammers who mass create accounts just for the backlinks.
The method of genuine social bookmarking is to create one account, bookmark your website and that’s it. There’s no harm in that. New social sites pop like popcorn nowadays, yet still it’s hard to find some that do not block in some ways or another spammers.
My optimization focuses for the Google, yet still if you hire people to do the submission (or use a software), it won’t take too much time, so it’s worth doing it.
The motto in seo is, if you can get backlinks, do it! I just submit to a big number of social sites and then move to another method to get backlinks.
I hire people to do the task manually, do not use a software. But you can use software to do it.
But do not spend a ton of time on social bookmarking. Do it once, do it right and move on to another link building method. The number one link building method is article marketer. Focus on creating unique and original articles, then submitting them first on your website to get the content benefit. Second on as many article directories as you can.
There are many services or software to automate such submissions.
