What do you think of paying someone to social bookmark your site? I saw a post "Get your website bookmarked in 16 top bookmarking sites for just 3$" on the services forum. Is this a good idea? I don't really know how bookmarking sites work. If this is beneficial should you have several of the people who are selling this service bookmark your site or is it one link per website per bookmark site? Thanks for any info on this.
It is ok as long as they do not get caught because it violates some terms of service. For example Digg will ban your account for paying for diggs or exchanging diggs.
16 Social Bookmarking is nothing prolly go for those with high numbers like 100 135 etc.. Ya Social Bookmarking works you can get Instant Backlinks and also it can get can traffic too
Social Bookmarking works good. Some of the sites send you hundereds and some can send you thoudands of visitors in a day if you have an interesting article/resource. Getting your site submitted for $3 is a resobanle price. I think these services are especially made for those who don't know what Social Bookmarking is, in order to help them.
This is a related article on how social bookmarking works? Social bookmarking opens the door to new ways of organizing information and categorizing resources. The creator of a book- mark assigns tags to each resource, resulting in a user-directed, “amateur†method of classifying information. Because social bookmarking services indicate who created each bookmark and provide access to that person’s other bookmarked resources, users can easily make social connections with other individuals interested in just about any topic. Users can also see how many people have used a tag and search for all resources that have been assigned that tag. In this way, the community of users over time will develop a unique structure of keywords to define resourc- es—something that has come to be known as a “folksonomy.†Click this link for more detail http://72.14.235.104/search?q=cache...ial+bookmarking+work&hl=tl&ct=clnk&cd=4&gl=ph
you may make profit from social bookmark sites but i think those people are spamming the social bookmark sites because of this you may be banned from those types of services
Thanks for all the replies. So if someone who has this service of bookmarking other peoples sites for pay gets their account banned at a bookmarking site does this mean that my site would be banned as well by association with the banned account?
links on social bookmarking websites are crawls faster than any other sites and bring awesome traffic
No, your site would not get banned because technically you have no control over someone bookmarking you. I suggest StumbleUpon which can bring much more traffic than other sites... but it might not be as targeted traffic. Contact me on AIM if you want to exchange Stumbles.
Also if someone bookmarks my site at 100 sites in a day or two is that too many links too fast? I have good positions in google and yahoo for many of my top keywords and dont want to mess it up.
You should ask people to bookmark your site only if they like it. I always welcome if some DP members Stumble OurEcoHouse website but only they like the idea and what it stands for. Then if I like their websites I Stumble them as well.
For the best results should you post some interesting new content like a how to article on your site and link directly to it with bookmarking or should you just link to the front page? I have a site that sells merchandise if that matters.
