using http://del.icio.us for linkbuilding?

can someone tell me how to optimize social bookmarking so that people actually go to my sites

b/c im not seeing actual results

thanks!

 

Can anyone tell me whether social bookmarking works AT ALL, never mind for linkbuilding!?

Not sure - I get the odd hit from some Swickis, but nothing to write home about.

 

hmm i will try that

 

Well i am new to all this , i just want to know how much bookmarking is good, for eg if i am doing del.icio.us for the 15 times and from diffrent people. will this help.
Waiting for the answer.

 

Yes, it appears to be true. It is a bit surprising that del.icio.us has not even allowing SEs to index the content!

 

Outbound del.icio.us links have nofollow so are useless for link building anyway..

 

Lots of links to my sites from del.icio.us show up in the Google webmaster tools and yahoo's sitesearch. They just don't show up in the regular link search results. But they are definitely indexed.

 

They don't exactly send a lot of traffic your way either. I have never quite figured out how to use delicious for this actually? Any ideas? Without exploiting the system, obviously.

 

I didn't realise the links were nofollow, but in my experience, I have gotten some traffic from del.icio.us links. I guess I must have been very lucky regarding who bookmarked my pages.

I don't chase links from social bookmarking sites though.

 

Dont know about this.. and if this true that del.icio.us brings incomming links, i want to quote that this is not true as i have more than 100 bookmarks from del.icio however none of them are counted as the backlinks and more over ia m not getting any sort of traffic on to my blog...

 

It´s true that they have the noindex tag, but Google still indexed my bookmark page:
hxxp://www.google.es/search?q=del.icio.us%2FAdan75

If it´s indexed it should transfer some juice, shouldn´t it?

 

I don't know about this... SU use nofollow but I still see SU as my backlinks... anyone knows how is this possible?

 

I've ended up with quite a few deep links from blogs that I think came through del.icio.us listings. I don't get much traffic directly from del.icio.us but being mentioned in blogs is always nice as a free link

 

Ya, nice for traffic and extra exposure though.

 

Plus the fact that each link is tagged with keywords should be extremely useful to search engines.

 

I've gotten hits just by having my site name associated with certain keywords. It shows up in google searches (ranked even higher than my own pages themselves), and they show up on the "backlinks" list on my Webmaster account.

 

Waiting for the nice and good answer...
