The Best Social Bookmarking Strategy
When it comes to Marketing your Website, using Social Media is key. With the rise of Social Media sites, Website Marketing has become an ever changing business, adapting to new Technologies as they come. It is more important now than ever to have a Strategy or Plan in place before you set out on any Internet Marketing ventures. Using a Social Bookmarking Strategy can and will save you time and money in the long run.
So what is the best Social Bookmarking Strategy for Marketing your Site? Well, I don’t know what the BEST one is – that completely depends on how that word is defined, but I can share with you the strategy that I use to market my Websites that has proved to be a success for me.
First, I create accounts at all of the social bookmarking Websites that I wish to include in my Social Bookmarking Strategy. This can be tedious and time consuming, so if you have the funds I say do yourself a favor and purchase some automated Marketing Software Strategy software to speed the process up for you and save you the headache.
Once I have that done I social bookmark the main page of my Website that I am promoting with a Keyword Rich Title. I focus my efforts on one Keyword at a time, so choose just 1 Keyword for now (I personally recommend using Keyword Software to find money making Keywords that are low competition and high converting. Never underestimate the Keyword Research process). Also include the Keyword Phrase in your Tags and choose tags that are popular and relevant to your site.
Now that you have your main page bookmarked at all the Bookmarking Websites it is time to move on to bookmarking all Websites you know of that are linking to yours. These can be other Blogs or Websites that you own, or sites of friends, family, link trade partners, etc. Be sure you bookmark the specific page on their site that is pointing to yours, as that is what helps Google and other Search Engines find your Website.
The next thing I do in my Social Bookmarking Strategy is create a Web 2.0 Property. I personally prefer Squidoo Lenses over any other Sites. Simply go to Squidoo, create an account and place content from your site onto your personal Squidoo Lens page your just created. Include at least one link on your Squidoo Lens that points back to your main Website. Also, be sure to anchor the link with your Keyword Phrase you have chosen.
Once you’ve made your Web 2.0 property that links back to your Website it’s time to Bookmark it. You’re going to repeat the same process you did with submitting your main page and submit your Squidoo Lens page to the Bookmarking Websites with a Keyword Rich title, description and popular tags.
If you want to go above and beyond you can also bookmark any RSS Profiles you have created that link back to your Website. In short, bookmark anything and everything that points to your Website. The easier you make it for Google to find your Website with the Keyword you chose, the faster and more highly it will rank in search engine results.
