Social Bookmarks Out Ranking Actual website??

    So we got a bunch of social bookmarking jobs done on a new website and we I type in the url in google the website itself no longer comes up first in the list of links. Instead, a lot of the social bookmarking sites with the link on it are coming up and the actual web site is 3 pages back. Does anyone have any insight as to why this is? I have never seen that before.

    I had this for a couple of months, just wait a while. In the end you still get the traffic if somebody is interested.

    oh ok. was a bit alarmed at first because the site url was always first in the list and then today I check and it was gone lol. I though google de-index it at first but then I found it a few pages back. Thanks!

    Just continue applying link building in your website and SE will crawl your page so just wait....

    Not really. You can get a quality backlink and tons of traffic that is incredibly hard to monetize.

    If you have an off the wall site or blog (funny, jokes, really weird), then you may have more success. But for a standard retail site, social bookmarks are good for backlinks only IMO.
