Long-Term Social Bookmarking Techniques for You To Test

For the past few years the rise of social bookmarking as a flexible tool for SEO and marketing has had a massive impact in IM. It is an approach that is especially used for backlinking; or search engine optimization strategies. But you really should never neglect or overlook what could be done for the more long-term methods at high PR bookmarking sites. So it all just is dependent upon what you want to accomplish in your business. If you haven’t been around IM much, then a bookmarking site is simply just a site where you can place bookmarks online. Plus you can tag your bookmarks with your particular search phrases which can help with some search engine optimization but it tends to be temporary.

Google took a great deal of the power out of high PR bookmarking sites when it appeared they (perhaps) let the various sites know that their dofollow link attributes were causing issues. Seems people were able to rank highly from sites like Digg and a few others. Who genuinely knows if Google had any influence over those powerful book-marking sites and the nofollow relational attribute. It does make for interesting speculation but not terribly important at this point.

But you can gain exposure when you take a more responsible approach to using social bookmarking sites. What can result in issues with so many profiles for backlinking is those profiles are not properly written or anything similar to high quality. There are a few more strategically minded marketers who make an effort and create high quality bookmark profiles. They have discovered that the more ‘full bodied’ profiles do not get deleted and have a longer shelf life. Additionally, when you do this you are adding something to the site, and you are able to keep higher quality bookmark profiles for years.

Also think about your ability to use the RSS feed functions available with a meaty profile with good content in it. That means you’ll be able to post those feeds to RSS directories, plus they can get indexed. You may include your various links plus precise content in your feeds, too. But you do have to take care and exercise caution so you aren’t over-promoting because that can cause loss of subscribers to your feed.

What you want to do is maintain a sense of balance between promoting your money sites/offers and providing good quality content that your subscribers will appreciate. You can achieve a lot if you have solid relationships in place at bookmarking sites. You can have a few minutes every day to spread your good will at these sites, and that will not take very long plus it is a good investment.

Ultimately, how you approach making use of bookmarking sites in your own business is your call. The truth is a lot of IM marketers do not want to spend time with long-term strategic approaches. The better quality profile approach is something you ought to test out, and you might like the results.
