Social Bookmarking More About Sharing Than Bookmarking!
I have been in the SEO industry for more than 2 years now. From what I have learn from my experience is that Social Media is the most aggressive tool in the internet marketing industry to gain web traffic in a short period of time. Most of the SEO gurus now a days call it Viral Marketing.
I have often seen in most reputed companies based in India, they have social bookmarking experts who are assigned the job of bookmarking site details such as Title, Description, URLs and tags into most popular bookmarking site such as Delicious, Reddit, Stumble Upon etc.
This I believe is the waste of technology or just stuffing or spamming these web 2.0 sites. Submitting your site details into these highly traffic generating websites is not enough. There are loads and loads of people doing it. But we should be more intelligent and smarter than others by making good use of these social active sites.
These are some tips below which you can use promote your website through Viral Marketing:
1) Create full profile with real name on these websites. Submitting just the details required to bookmark sites for free is not enough. Create a profile where other members can easily get connected with you.
2) Along with bookmarking websites, it is also necessary to share these websites. Make friends, join groups of your industry and try to remain active in these sites as much as possible.
3) Create groups using most highly and relevant search term of your industry and invite your friends to join these groups.
4) Use your Gmail, Yahoo and other IM contacts in finding more people who are already using these web 2.0 sites. Also invite other friends in your contacts to join these websites which would help in networking as well as promoting their websites.
5) Instead of choosing just keywords such as "Social Bookmarking" as title choose "How Will Your Website Benefit Through Social Bookmarking". People like long phrases rather than just keyword stuffing.
Follow these simple steps and you will find a rather new look of Social Media Optimization.
I know its difficult to use these steps in all social bookmarking sites but you can easily try them in top 10 bookmarking sites of my choice.
