View Full Version : Creating a niche social bookmarking service

I have a client whom I have recommended they have a niche social bookmarking service created as a tool to encourage natural linking.

My idea is to create an integrated social bookmarking service that would be at the root of their domain name. This way when we have widgets displayed on other people's sites, my client's site would earn the link back.

Now considering that the bookmarking section would be at the root of the domain how successful would it be if I recommend getting a domain name and have that redirected to the bookmarking section? Would this tactic cause any SEO damage?

Can any one give some idea about social book marking?
How to proceed and other information about this?

Even if you buy a new domain and redirect it to a page within your main site, people will still use and distribute the URL in their address bar (which wouldn't be the new domain). Personally I wouldn't bother buying up domains for this project other than for trademark/brand protection. Just make the social page as easy and simple to get to as possible. e.g. domain.com/myweb.
