Social bookmarking SEO advice please!

    I keep reading that social bookmarking is great for SEO, presumably because it's a way of getting your content seen in different places, but is that the only benefit? Do you also get backlinks from things like digg that you have to log into?

    You do get backlinks from the ones that don't use nofollow, but the biggest benefit is creating that permanent relationship with your customers/viewers. Just posting spammy links on every social bookmarking site will do you no good. You really have to work at becoming a major player in any social network you enter.

    The big social networking sites have millions of pages. Each page and link can only get a small bit of juice. Plus, many are no-followed so have very little SEO purpose.

    I think main benefit is indexation of your websites after submission to social bookmarking.

    But every good social bookmarking websites have some their own rules and regulations ... (Generally common)

    # Like in delicious you will have to add tags by space separated, so in that case you will have to use hyphen to connect two words as one.

    # Using different titles and description is also necessary.

    # Submission to proper category or close category can give you good results.

    Blindly done Social Bookmarking such as $10.00 for 100 Social Bookmarking will not take you any where. Select top 30 or Top 20 with your original account or ask the person to create one account specially for you.

    Social bookmarking is good for mass generating a huge ammount of very low quality links, but it will get you nowhere without real quality links.

    Ranking is not about the pure mass of inlinks, social bookmarking is just a little addition but you'll never rank for competitive terms without "real" links you can't get via free submissions to any directories, social bookmarking sites, etc. One good link from a trusted and related site is worth more than 10.000 social bookmarking links.

    There are some social bookmarking sites which have do follow attributes on their links. But there are only few of them. Commonly, they became the massive source of traffic, especially if done properly :D

    I do not think that any person get a decent amount of traffic from a social book marking website. Because it is having thousands of people and until you make thousands of people in your network only then you will be able to get the traffic.

    yes you can get some traffic through social book mark but i can suggest you do quality link building instead of social bookmarking.

    I really think that bookmarking is a base to cover when wanting to offer a good SEO service. I think also it is a spoke in the wheel worth having. As far as getting indexed quick?

    Hey Lalit, Nice tips. Thanks for your information. Friends it is true that social networking sites return many things, unless and until you do it meaningfully. If you are going to spam them then there will be no use. The main benefit which I consider from social sites are getting faster index and a few links from other places that too without doing any thing. Many times people like a link, will share it to other places and thus you will get free links and traffic.

    I don't know if it has any SEO value as most of the Social Bookmarking sites uses nofollow attribute.
    But, its good to get non-targeted traffic.

    Social bookmarking is really amazing way to optimize your site. Not only target oriented traffic but also backlinks generation for your website.
