Hey guys, I understand that social bookmarking is great for links, indexing etc. However I've been testing as many social bookmarking sites as I could and have found one common problem... the links don't really add much in the way of value and help to increase search engine rankings. So it's obvious that you need these bookmarks like on Digg and Delicious to be bookmarked by other people with authority accounts or at least some action on those accounts. Does anyone know of a service that will help me bookmark a specific URL with multiple "trusted" accounts? I'm not after software like bookmarking demon, I think this will lose it's value quickly.
What you're describing is an attempt to manipulate the rankings of a site on these social bookmarking sites. This is a black-hat technique and it is honestly not going to be very effective, and it could backfire. Social bookmarking is something that drives traffic to websites, but it's not something you can game or manipulate. Just sit back and let it work its magic. Focus on the quality of your site, and other ways of getting the word out about your website. If people like your site, they'll bookmark it themselves. I've found little benefit to submitting a site to the social bookmarking sites or voting it up, even if your own account is well-trusted and you have a strong track record. These sites work well not if one person or 10 people recommend a site, they work well if the site itself is good, and then hundreds of people will recommend it. Forget about buying any services. Stop thinking about promotion and start making your site better. If your site is not doing well in social bookmarking sites, there's one reason: it's not good enough. Work on organic ways of building traffic and work on improving the quality of your site. Good luck!
BLAHBLAHBLAH!!!! Everyone doing SEO, or optimizing their site is manipulating the search engines. If it weren't true then there wouldn't be tags like that available LOL. Check it out, social bookmarking is great and a necessary part of SEO and getting your sites and articles indexed. I also will bookmark high PR backlinks. The trick with social bookmarking is to have MANY accounts with the bookmarks. For all my clients I typically do about 10 accounts, each on digg, reddit, stumbleupon and del.i.cious
If you want to get votes than build your circle and request them ... though I think Digg have added one feature on which your friends wont be able to vote. (kindly confirm)
Yeah I have around 300 friends who vote my submissions (Digg, Yahoo, Delicious) everytime, My every single story pop in Delicious and send me good traffic
