Does social bookmarking really counts for SEO?

Yes it really does.

 

Social bookmarking is the best way for indexing.

 

Yes for certain social bookmarking site scripts (with a distinct footprint). But links from digg etc are very valuable, if you can get dofollow links from them (front pages).

 

Every backlink is valuable As for the bookmarking backlinks, yes, they improve your SERP and help to gain PR. I get about 130-150 backlinks on every page I bookmark to my accounts (I have accounts on lots of bookmarking sites) and after PR update such pages always get PR1-2 or even sometimes PR3

 

I'm currently getting about 1% of my traffic from social media and 88% from search engines. One guess where I prioritize my SEO energy and time ...

 

yes social bookmarking is very important for indexing and backlinks.

 

Social bookmarking help to improve your search engine ranking. Even if they are having PR 0 it having its on weight.

 

Every backlinks add something to the site. Good links helps while bad does not.
SB is good for a soon boost up in rankings but will not help in long term seo. Best is article marketing because its an relevant link based to your theme from a Authority website.

 

I dont think, google will decrease the value of social bookmarking sites. However the traffic and backlinks from social bookmarkings are created at a very slow rate, say around 3-5 months. You will get the fruits of your hard work bookmarking after 6 months for sure. So dont stop doing social bookmarking, at the most you can decrease the number of sites you do bookmarking.. Traget only high ranking sites after 2 months of rigorous bookmarking

 

Social bookmarking helps in getting backlinks as well as SERP of keywords. This is the reason why most of them are using title in the keywords while doing social bookmarking.

 

I think the question is that does Google decrease the value of link from social bookmarking sites or not ... ? i want to know the answer of this part of the question....

 

Social bookmarking is an important factor for any website or blogs, yes initially you get traffic from SB (sites like stumbleupon, digg, etc..) but when your bookmarks get old then traffic gradually decreases, thou you get back-links but for limited time period once bookmark get expired they are of no use. Thou, forums provide you permanent back-links to your website/blog.

 

serious?? the only reason people use the sites for bookmarking is because of the saturation of BM sites.............There seems to be more bookmarking sites than blogs these days

 

social bookmarking website lets you, make it easy for people to find you on twitter, so that you can communicate and share each others submissions with your respective networks.

 

whenever any webmaster bookmarking its link on any social bookmarking site he surely gone try to rate the link.
but naturally, if there are too many visitors who liked those link then they will rate it themselves...

i mean...
webmaster can rate his link 10 times
but
if the link is popular, i mean natural(not bookmarked by webmasters) will get more exposure then the webmaster's backlink..

and still this factor is working...

whichever link got high rank/rate will come on top and that will be the advantage for that link.

got it?

 

Yes. It is important to increase backlinks.

 

Not only does it help with SEO, it will also drive a lot of traffic to your website.

 

Social bookmarking sites are very good resource to get backlinks and traffic. I don't know whether google gives less or high importance as Google knows webmasters use the social bookmarking websites only for backlinking.
