A Vital Aspect Of SEO Marketing By Lilian Dabrai

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

There are many ways to promote your website effectively without it draining your budget completely. Social bookmarking has become very popular and it is a very powerful way to boost your traffic and generate a lot of backlinks all for free. If you are doing your own SEO then you must concentrate on social bookmarketing as well in order to get your links indexed by Google fairly rapidly.

Of course this can be a very time consuming process as you have to visit all the bookmarketing sites in order to bookmark your website or blog. Although that is fine when you have the time but there is an alternative if you prefer not to do all the hard work yourself.

But as luck would have it there is a website that allows you to do it for free. Socialmarker.com takes all the hard work out of it and gives you a full list of all the bookmarking sites. Of course before you use this service you have to have an account with each of the bookmarking sites. Initially this does take time but it is a one off procedure and after that the rest is easy.

As you will see there is a complete list of all the bookmarking sites but you need to be selective as to which ones you use. I have been using the most popular ones, delicious, stumbleupon, Digg, Propeller etc. in order to promote MyInternetBusiness but you will have to decide which ones are best for you.

If you are promoting work at home opportunities you may find that some sites will reject your submissions so you will have to make sure you avoid these the next time.

There are videos available for you to watch and understand the process in more detail and once you get the hang of it you will find it fairly straightforward. The internet market today is very competitive and you need to use all the recourses that are available in order to maximise your business exposure.

This is just one of the many ways to promote your business and increase your traffic all for free.

Social Bookmarking, Bookmarking Demon and Young Blogs - Get Noticed! By Dwight Schrute

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

I am a blogger who mainly deals with SEO and Link Building. One of the question that I am often asked is how to improve a site’s search engine rankings. I answer that the best way is to build up one way links naturally from sites with high page ranks. Well, not everybody is capable of doing so. So what is a struggling young blog supposed to do in order to attract initial traffic that can start your blogging community?

This is where social bookmarking comes in. These backlinks can provide for you the starting traffic that you need in order to gain awareness from your blog. Start becoming active on social networking sites, and you’ll be noticed. Comment on the submissions of those bloggers in the same niche as your own, and they will appreciate your attention. Just like blog commenting is important, commenting on the posts of fellow bloggers on social bookmarking sites is also a nice tip.

I use Sphinn, Delicious, Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon, and Propeller for traffic. Over 35 percent of all of my main blog’s traffic is from social bookmarking sites. I now have 100s of followers on various sites and this led to a nice increase in my organic search engine rankings. The backlinks from the social bookmarking sites really helped my blog grow.

In the beginning of any blog, your first focus should be content. After a few weeks of decent content, then you can start going onto trying to get traffic. You must get noticed. Social Bookmarking does depend somewhat on luck, and you are not guaranteed by any means. But if your blog becomes a keeper, then you will have made a huge imprint on your niche.

Social bookmarking is huge when it comes to blog exposure and I think it ranks right behind blog commenting in terms of valuable backlinks to a growing blog. Your blog can go viral on social bookmarking sites - it’s just a powerful oppurtunity.

There are 100s of social bookmarking sites out there and all you need for your blog to take off is for it to catch on to one of them. For me, it was Twitter, and I receive 2000 hits to one of my better posts in 24 hours after it caught on at Twitter. Many of these hits became future readers of mine, and they are readers who contribute by writing comments, and by linking to me from other social networking sites. Moreover, they subscribe to my blog and become long time readers. This isn’t everyone, but it’s enough that it made a big difference. Linkers Blog became PR 3 in just one month because of this!

So how do you know which social bookmarking site to submit to?

Well, you don’t. You never know which social bookmarking site is your future gold mine. So you should submit to all of them. Well, you might ask, that will take days! Well, there is software that will do it for your automatically. It costs $147 and is called Bookmarking Demon. For many people, this becomes their lifesaver as it saves them hours of submitting each individual blog post. I’m a fan, but I will warn you in advance that it’s not for everyone. It’s worth it for me because I try to post on several niche blogs everyday which bring in income. If you’re not already pulling in money, I might not bother with it.

However to the newbie, Social Bookmarking is not only just another craze but a complete maze of how to do this successfully. There appears to be for those on the insider secrets to Social Bookmarking which include automating the process in order to generate profits. The difficulties for the newbie Affiliate Marketer is which automated software do you go with - all say they’re the best, the cheapest and will - what do they call it - “having Google spider your Social Bookmarking sites within 48 hours”. All claim that Social Bookmarking has never before been made so easy.

Social Bookmarking software does offer some good incentives to those who are cash rich and time poor. For example:

In many respects with a variety of Social Bookmarking software all promising to put your Social Bookmarking on autopilot so the marketer can reap in the rewards, it comes down to - which software do you consider will do what it sales pages (or landing pages) inform you it will do.

Some software to review and compare are:
o Bookmarking Demon
o Social Bookmarks Submitter
o Scuttlr Social Bookmark Submitter
o Traffic Android
o Ping Spider

Beware though if you use automated Social Bookmarking Software - submit slowly so as not to be banned by the search engines.

Some questions to ask are:

o Will this software save me time in the long run?
o Is this software efficient or will I need a degree in how to use it?
o Can I try before I buy?
o Is the price right (one off or monthly fee) and is it affordable?
o Are Free updates included in the price
o Are there any other hidden costs?
o Does it have the “pinging” capacity so Google spiders will pick up my blog and other contributions to a variety of Social Bookmarking sites?
o Would I rather do this myself - write and manually ping my Social Bookmarking sites?
o What is the guarantee - is there one - if I’ve made the wrong purchase?

There is a range around so choose carefully and prices do vary quite substantially. If after you’ve tried a few and you’re not happy with the results then check out the link below

Social Bookmarking Tools That Rock Your Wallet, Part 1 By Jessie Jackson

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

Today there are tons of strategies that you can use for search engine optimization, so many in fact that you can get so confused that you are paralyzed into inaction. Been there, done that! But, lets look at a free, easy and awesome strategy, social bookmarking. A lot of professional SEOs (search engine optimizers) use social bookmarking as one of their primary tools. Done right, it is one of the best ways to increase your sites traffic. It also boosts your search engine rankings and gets critical backlinks.

Social bookmarking in a one of kind optimization strategy. It is based on the big search engines love affair with Web2.0 sites. Google has admitted that content that is edited (tagged) and rated by users is a very strong indication of the value of that content.

Let’s discuss how this strategy works and make an action plan.

First of all, you need to visit sites like StumbleUpon or Digg. There are many others but these will work for our purposes.

  • Step one.Create new account on each, if you haven’t already.
  • Step two .Spend ten or twenty minutes on reading the FAQs and getting oriented in general, ten minutes should give you everything you need to know to start.
  • Step three. Start adding your own bookmarks, do not start with your own money sites! You need to ease in with good personal bookmarks that you really like, especially hard to find, or really great source stuff.
  • Step four. Now you can add your bookmark to your money site, make sure that you use the keywords you want to rank in, like the main keywords from your homepage. You can also bookmark inner pages on your site, if your main page is ranking well in its keywords and you are launching new pages or products etc. Now do not put more than one link from your site in your bookmarking account, at least not more than two…ever! Why? Because your account may get flagged as spam, and your account closed. My general rule of thumb is 40 personal bookmarks to one money site bookmark.
  • Step five. Here you have to make a choice, you can create multiple email accounts, or you probably already have more than one anyway. Then you can start the process over again. But use different bookmarks, not all the same. You can of course bookmark your own money pages again. Just don’t make the accounts identical. I know that some people are not totally comfortable with this, but think about something for a second, SEO is not a natural process anyway! Changing your sites content, getting backlinks, all for better position on Google is not a natural process. So if your competition employs some SEOs who have hundreds of social bookmarking accounts in their arsenal, which they do!  You have to get competitive and since social bookmarking is free, it’s a good area to make a stand.

Once you get your feet wet with the basics, which only takes about an hour. You will need some tools. Social bookmarking on a large scale without some tools or online services is slow torture. Trust me. Nowadays my favorite social bookmarking tool is Web2Rule.com, I have amazing results with them and they have a free account as well. And I love cool free stuff! Go take action!

Action List For Today. Go start two accounts on social bookmarking sites,

Check out Web2Rule as a free online tool.

HOME::Internet-and-Businesses-Online/Social-Bookmarking X Having a Social Bookmarking Plan Can Lead to More Profitable Results By Menno Spijkstra

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

Social bookmarking is indeed one of the best techniques that internet marketers and website owners employ these days as part of their website promotion. Aside from the fact that this is a free service, it has already its proven results. To the benefit of the many internet marketers, the use of social bookmarking sites has driven more people to their websites. However, having online bookmarks do not guarantee a sudden influx of traffic to your site. If you are a newbie in online marketing, you must at least know the basics in doing social bookmarking. There is no assurance that once you have bookmarked your web pages, people will start buying whatever you are selling there.

The wise way to do social bookmarking is to have a plan. Creating a plan will help you come up with goals and a plan of action on how to achieve these goals. When you promote your website in popular social bookmarking sites, you have to make sure that your articles on your web page have good contents and proper keywords. Remember that you will be competing with thousands of other sites. You need to know how to capture your target market’s attention. You can start with a catchy headline. Thus, when you write a blog or an article, you have to put the end in mind.

Remember that the title or the headline is the first thing people read when they come across an article on the net. If you have an interesting headline, there is a great possibility that people will read further your article. In order to achieve this, you can use a reliable and free keyword tool that will assist you in looking for the best keywords for your titles. Having the right words on your headline will not only attract people to it but also attract search engine robots for your site to land on top the search engine results pages. And once you have captured their attention and spark their interest in reading your article, next thing you must be particular about is an engaging lead paragraph.

This refers to the first paragraph of the whole article or blog that you have written. Somehow there is really a need to impress readers with your opening paragraph. You can give them a bird’s eye view about what the whole article is all about. But of course, don’t spill all the beans right away. You can perhaps come up with a teaser that will segue to the body of the article. Then, the rest will follow. Surely, they would eventually read the entire post. With quality posts in place, waste no time in promoting your site. Use leading social bookmarking services.

You can have their tabs under each of your article. If they like your post, they can right away bookmark it. Make it convenient for your prospects to mark every post that they like by having those social bookmarking plug ins on your website. Don’t stop in finding ways to increase website traffic because in this ever-changing world of the internet, there is always something new to do every day. And every successful feat starts with a plan.

Networking and Bookmarking - Is it Worth It? By Johnny Davies

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

Over the past few months, I have been looking into different means to increase my site’s visitor traffic, as well as its ranking in various search engines.

I have found quite a few sites that I never would have thought to have used and they have proven to dramatically increase both quite a bit.

You would be surprised that just by adding your URL to web directories, social networking and also bookmarking sites will help your site out exponentially. The results for some may be immediate, where others may take some time. But they will be there. You just have to be diligent in your efforts to reap the rewards.

Some sites require that you register an account with them to add your URL, where others merely want your email address. It all depends on what you are willing to give them to accomplish your goals. Personally, I tend to steer clear of the sites that only require email addresses, as they can sometimes prove to be only farming for emails to spam. I research them and see if they are truly beneficial or not before I proceed.

It also takes a little bit of your time to maintain your accounts with either updates to existing sites or new ones. So be prepared to spend at least an hour a day, if not more, depending on how many sites you want to add your URL to, and how many URL’s you want to add. The more you add, the better the results are.

In the end, it will all be worth it, because you will soon have a site that is receiving increased hits and higher rankings in search engines.

SE Nuke - An SEO Wonder Or a Complete Distraction By Gavin J King

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

One piece of software that is gaining in popularity quickly is SE Nuke. It is designed to help you promote everything from your website to your affiliate links. I am going to cover the capabilities of the software as well as the limitations so you can determine if it is a worthwhile piece of software you will add to your arsenal, or if you will utilize anther option.

The design and intent of the software is to help you quickly build one way links from high page ranking sources, and some other sources that don’t have such high page rank but may be helpful anyway. You begin the software by creating a gmail account and then creating accounts on social sites. This feature of the software works great and really speeds up the way you can create accounts. Once that process is completed it is only the click of a few buttons to check your gmail and validate all confirmation links emailed to your account. Just a tip, it works best to give it about 30 minutes before you click on the “check email” button so you are sure to have all the confirmation emails in your inbox.

Once your account creation is completed you can move on to the social article or page building sites. This basically requires a seed article, which SE Nuke will download for you from Ezinearticles. Once you download the article you can “spin” the article by using the “|” to separate all new words or sentences. I had the highest level of uniqueness, according to DupeCop.com, when I typed three alternatives for each sentence. It usually put my uniqueness around 40%, which will pass the Google test with room to spare. Once you have an acceptable article spun, you can add a picture and all in anchor keyword links right from the right click button. This eliminates the necessity for you to know any HTML code at all to run it. It even has a built in keyword density checker and a WYSIWYG version of the article to be posted. Finally, you simply click the feature that posts the article to the social sites you created and that is it.

Each site automatically receives a keyword enriched article promoting whatever product or site you have chosen.
SE Nuke also has a feature that will allow you to bookmark the articles you posted. This gives the articles you have written an affirmative link to boost it in search engine ranking. It may be just enough to get your article appearing in some keywords for your topic or niche. SE Nuke will even save your article URL’s to a clipboard and will ping everybody to let them know you have provided new content.

Other SE Nuke modules include a video posting feature, RSS feed nuke and a WordPress MU module that really doesn’t help you much due to the low page rank of the sites that the links are posted on.

As far as the operation of the software goes, SE Nuke wasn’t very stable for me. I am not sure what the problem was, but it would freeze up frequently and that causes a lot of project confusion. Once you lose your place on article posting, bookmarking, or account creation, you are fighting an uphill battle to get caught up. SE Nuke does boast a proxy server feature which is designed to allow you to post articles all day long under different accounts. The problem is that almost all of the major page generation sites have started using proxy server blockers that will prevent you from creating accounts or posting articles if you are using a proxy server.

The price for SE Nuke was $97 per month when I used it and I honestly couldn’t say that it was worth it. I know that the price was raised since I dropped my membership to $127. I am hoping that the features that the program offers can be honed to work stably and in the constantly evolving environment of today’s internet. Overall I do not recommend that you purchase SE Nuke, when there are plenty of free options available.
