Social Bookmarking Strategy To Higher Rankings

Monday, January 4th, 2010

When it comes to Marketing your Website, using Social Media is King. With the rise of Social Media, Marketing your Website has become a constantly changing process, adapting to new Technologies as they arrive. It is more important now than ever to have a Plan or Strategy in place before you set out on any Internet Marketing ventures. Using a Social Bookmarking Strategy can and will save you time and money.

So what is the best Social Bookmarking Strategy for marketing your Website? Well, I don’t know what the BEST one is - that completely depends on how that word is defined, but I can share with you the strategy that I use to market my Sites that has proved itself a success to me.

First, I create profiles at all of the social bookmarking Sites that I want to include in my Social Bookmarking Strategy. This can be tedious and time consuming, so if you have the funds do yourself a favor and get some automated Marketing Software Strategy software to speed up the process for you.

Once that is complete I social bookmark the main page of my site with a Keyword Rich Title. I focus my efforts on 1 Keyword at a time, so choose just 1 Keyword for now (I personally recommend using Keyword Finding Software to find money making Keywords that are of low competition and high converting. Never underestimate the Keyword Research process). Also include your Keyword Phrase in your Tags and choose tags that are popular and relevant to your Website.

Now that you have Bookmarked your main Website at all the Bookmarking Sites it is time to move on to bookmarking all Websites you know of that are linking to yours. These can be other Websites that you own, or sites of friends, family, link trade partners, etc. Make sure you bookmark the specific page on their Website that is linking to yours, as this is what will help Google and other Search Engines find your Website.

The next thing I do in my Social Bookmarking Strategy is make a Web 2.0 Property. I personally prefer Squidoo Lenses over any others. Simply go to Squidoo, make an account and post content from your Website onto the personal Squidoo Lens page your just created. Include at least one link on your page that points back to your Site. Also, be sure to anchor the link with the Keyword Phrase you have chosen.

Once you have made your Web 2.0 property that points back to your Website it’s time to Bookmark it. Go through the same process you did with submitting your main Webpage and submit your Squidoo Lens Site to the Bookmarking Sites with a Keyword Rich title, description and popular tags.

If you want to go above and beyond with your promotion you can also bookmark any RSS Profiles or Article Profile pages you may have created that point back to your Website. In short, bookmark anything and everything that links back to your Website. The easier you make it for Google to find your Site with your Keyword Phrase, the faster and higher it will rank in the search engine results.
