What is the most effective way of promoting/link developing for a blog in social bookmarking services? If let's say, sb wanted to use blackhat-edge SEO techniques ;> , what would be better eg: one link with 10 diggs or 5 added findings with different descriptions/titles and only 1 digg ?
Digg links wont help you in SEO as they are no-follow links.So It would be better to go for 10 digg with one link as if you get more diggs your blog would be recognized by others and you'll get traffic.
First things first. Do your onpage optimization! I only really promote on digg. Although I submit to about 170 social bookmarking sites (50 or so are dofollow). Just simply get some friends to digg your stories. I have been having allot of success, in both ranking, and refereed traffic, by getting 10-15 diggs and comments on my story. If the story is well written enough, the power users will find it, and resubmit it *which is best actually*. Other than that, just make sure that your keyword(s) is/are in your link (and the title of the page you are linking to), and that you put in a compelling summery (without using text from the page you are linking to) Also, very the link, and the description for /each/ social bookmarking site, but maintain your key phrase. Doing this, all and all, you can expect to spend about 1 hour bookmarking a single "story" or page.
