Social book marketing links have some waightage. I don't think so.
Do you?

Even if social bookmarking links carry little or no weight, it's so easy to do, it's not going to harm your ranking, and you might even get extra traffic. So why not take a minute and just do it ?

Social Bookmarketing ? :cool:

i think social media is working. Though you cann't forget SEO but still there is no loss in using social media. It helps to bring relevant traffic to your website as well build some backlinks.

Thank u all for your reply

Which social bookmarking sites do you like the best or think offer the best traffic?

Social bookmarking is the one of strategy to gain traffic. but doesn't have
assurance to gain your conversion... :rolleyes:

I like http://del.icio.us/!

Bookmarking sites can be good in helping engines find deep pages.

Mine is not a link, perhaps edit to match. Just a thought! :D

The ones Poonam mentioned are the ones to go indeed. We notice almost daily that technorati generates the most inbound traffic, so if you have to start somewhere...

Thank u Poonam for your nice sites.

Any other book marking sites.........

I like ma.gnolia.com and del.icio.us

Bookmarking in del.icio.us definitely helps as I've seen my bookmark show up before the site I actually bookmarked in the SERPs.

Can any one give a list of some social book marking sites?

Strange, the ones Poonam mentioned seem to have disappeared...

I believe these were the ones :

http://del.icio.us
http://www.stumbleupon.com
http://ma.gnolia.com/
http://www.technorati.com/

Social book marketing links have some waightage. I don't think so.
Do you?That was the original topic to be discussed folks, so how about staying with it instead of posting links - which isn't what the thread is about.

Yes, Social book marking links really have weightage as they linked directly to the site.

That's right Reflection, but most of them carry rel="nofollow" so search engines like Google don't count them as incoming links. In other words, the PageRank (link juice) isn't transfered.

This issue has little effect on Feedfetcher! Notice that little "RSS" at the bottom of the pages. So, yes it is fair to say they may have some "waightage" even if not obvious. ;)

Yes, you are right beu.

Just do it and it has weight when doing social bookmarking, but not that much traffic but it helps. :) :rolleyes:

The links may not count for much; as soon as social site feels they are being abussed for links they simple bring out the nofollow i.e. delicious and wikipedia.

IMO when it comes to social sites its not the links that are important its the traffic potential. These sites have millions of users and if you can tap into that you open up a whole new avenue of traffic which can supplement your search engine traffic

1 million page views + 0 sales = USELESS

Again, the nofollow issue has little effect on Feedfetcher! Notice that little "RSS" at the bottom of the pages.

So, the links are far more important than the traffic. ;)

"Only wire" does 20 sites at the same time...I've no clue if there is a benefit.

Yes, the major benifit is it's free.

I think social bookmarking still helps. Some search engine counted links from social bookmarking site.

You can try listible and blinklist.

Yes, Social bookmarking links have some weightage.

Try this one:

If you are using Stumbleupon and Del.icio.us
make sure to sign up for stumblexchange.com and deliciousxchange.com. They are essentially vote/link exchange site, but they help to boost your profile on the social networking sites.

Yes, they're link exchange sites (one has a total of 9 pages indexed), and that's kind of the reason many sites have begun using nofollow, to try to avoid manipulation.

Some sites want reciprocal links. I think it is better to leave them.

Social book marketing links have some waightage. I don't think so.
Do you?

I think yes! By far and large in today's Search Engine Marketing World where social networks are robustly leveraging search engines. It's a proven fact that more you optimize social networks for your seo campaigns the betters visibilites you get. But this comes with time, let say; with in 3 months.

I believe Seo Consultants should focus on to Social Media Optimization (SMO)!

Worth pointing out that social networking sites like myspace and facebook are a little different than social bookmarking sites like delicious.

By the way, Google quietly launched their own social bookmarking site a few weeks back.

Social bookmarking is helpful when you want to increase traffic..:D

Hi all
When you bookmarking your links, that links are showing in the home page of the social bookmarking site. At that time search engine crawlers are visiting your links and indexing them. Due to this fact some Bookmarking links comes in SERPs.

Actually most links have nofollow tags but many of these sites contain RSS feeds that are open to search engines.

yeah you are right about no-follow but some does help traffic anyway like stumble upon

would I recommend Social Bookmarking- of course it's free
would I expect significant results - of course not it's free

By bookmarking our favourite pages and links, we ensure that we can get them easily. It is just a storage place for us.If we get some traffic from this then it is an extra benifit. This is the best way we describe bookmarks.

I think that social bookmarking, whether there are nofollows on the links or not, can help with SEO and traffic. Someone comes across your site on a social bookmarking site, and hopefully likes it, bookmarks it, and visits it again (and again, and again); therefore increasing your traffic and unique visitors. That person could have their own site or blog, or be a writer for a prominent online magazine related to your business, and like your site so much that they link back to it from their site/blog/article; therefore helping you with SEO.

When using SB sites, it's necessary to become involved in the community of bookmarkers. Don't just bookmark a bunch of pages on your site and never come back to it again. For instance, you can visit the profile pages of the people who visited your site or profile and see if those folks have their own websites. If their sites relate in some way to your site, you could develop a possible linking relationship with that person.

i believe social book marking can give you traffic. and also it helps your site easy to crawl and indexed.

I think this is the only person speaking logically about how social bookmarking can help with SEO - it's a strategy thing, not somehow the SEs magically like social bookmarking sites.

Another important point. Hence why so-called "myspace marketing" "blog marketing" and this social bookmarking marketing is a bunch hogwash.

One has to be involved in order for it to be effective. Also why the kids are in better positions to make $$$ with myspace than bandwagon jumping adults. Anyone ever used Myspace for instance? I HATE it when losers try to network with me - I lump them in with the MLM spammers and the porn-cam girl spammers. None of them have credibility at all.

If you ain't part of the community - forget about it. Stick to the conventional stuff - which, ironically, STILL WORKS!

Yes, you are right Briche.
Social bookmarking sites really helpful.

Social book marketing links have some waightage. I don't think so.
Do you?


It drives traffic to a site by boosting it's link popularity....:p

Aw, thanks crypt! :o

Another thing to consider when using SB and SM sites is the audience - you shouldn't just start posting and bookmarking on Delicious and Digg if the audience isn't your target demo. Just take a look at the subject matter of the most popular stories to get an idea of who uses that particular site.

Stumbleupon is definitely a more general-audience SB site that has a wide variety of interest groups, while Digg is more oriented to techie-types. There are lots of niche SB sites as well, like Small Business Brief and Sphinn. You can even create your own SB site on Ning.com.

your time has some value too........y waste it on bookmarking? if the SE's give weightage to your submitted link, the page of the social bookmarking website is surely going to show up before yours in google. So u r one place behind. Wanna increase competition? your wish!!! :)

Yes, Farhan you are right. One way links are good but many of them not crawled frequently.
But social bookmarks are crawled faster by search engines specially Google.

the page of the social bookmarking website is surely going to show up before yours in google. So u r one place behind. Wanna increase competition? your wish!!! :)

For a limited time only...
The most important thing is Anchor Text of the link no matters where you get links.:rolleyes:

I think best social bookmarking sites are:

http://www.digg.com
http://delicious.com/
http://www.wirefan.com/
http://www.kaboodle.com/

Well..I don't think Social Bookmarking would be of help in improving SERP and PR. But it does helps in generating Traffic with No Sales usually. There are cased where, utilizing Social Bookmarks to advertise/promote their Business and have achieved great success.

Bookmarking just help other people to know that your site exists. That's where traffic then starts the show. :)

Yes, social bookmarking definitely improves your page view.

Social bookmarking can help in getting pages indexed and possibly a little bit link credibility. However, you're not going to win on any competitive terms with this strategy alone.

Yes, you are right ricko.

Social bookmarketing sites are frequently crawled by google spider and index your pages and links.

Social media marketing in growing rapidly now. I think this is a better move.

Social Bookmarking certainly has great significance. It has helped me a lot and on a personal experiences i can say having back links from social bookmarking certainly helps.

Thanks for sharing the link indeed. All are very useful

Social bookmarking in an instant way to get index and it is a great source of generating thousand of traffic to your website on monthly or weekly basis

I do get some good backlinks from social bookmarks.
If you are looking for traffic from such sources, you have to get involved with their respective communities on the same lines as other social network sites.

I have involved in some communities and got good response from them. My site also gained better traffic and visitors.

Not only important to bookmark your page but important is that make frined those site and try to increase vote for your submission.
