Social Bookmarking 101

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This may be news for you or not, but since this blog’s aim is to focus on the newer internet marketers coming into the game I’m going to tell you anyway.

One factor of this game is getting backlinks. Well how do you do that?

Articles, forum signatures, and link exchanges all do the job nicely, but how about if you want some backlinks right now? In the world of Web 2.0 this can be really easily and simply. The key to this is social bookmarking sites. Sites like Stumbleupon, del.icio.us, and Furl which let users “bookmark” their favorite sites so other users can visit them who have the same interest.

If it were THAT easy I wouldn’t need to do this post about it. ;) The real secret here is a FREE tool called OnlyWire. It will allow you to submit your bookmark to about 19 social bookmarking sites ALL AT ONCE with just a few clicks, and some necessary sign-ups. That’s 19 instant backlinks to high Google PR sites.

You may see them bringing in some traffic on their own, but the real purpose of this task is for the search engine bots to come by and see your site bookmarked at these places to index you. Keep your focus, keywords, and summaries right and it will increase the targeted visitors to your site as well.
