I have social bookmarking icons on all of my pages on my site that are strictly content. Last fall I used these icons to submit, bookmark or whatever the correct name is. Are those links still good or do I need to do them again. It was soon after this that my page rank went up so I want to know if that was because of social bookmarking or massive article submission to article directories with links back to my site.
The only way to find this out is to check your backlinks , where are those links coming from ? bookmarking sites or article sites ( or both ) This is an important part of your SEO strategy, you can also use tools and browser plugins to do this
bookmarking sites not only create backlinks but can generate traffic. In most cases there is a trade off - some are good for backlinks the others for traffic (real users).
before i used to submit a bookmark and leave the site,,, though brought some traffic in to my site,, i just realized that i MUST interact to the community...
