Tools We Use for Social Bookmarking:

Introduction to Social Bookmarking:

According to Wikipedia.com “Social bookmarking is a way for Internet users to store, organize, share and search bookmarks of web pages. In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, but depending on the service’s features, may be saved privately, shared only with specific people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, via a search engine, or even randomly.”

Here’s How You  Can Use Social Bookmarking To Grab Free Traffic From The Search Engines:

Social Bookmarking helps create incoming links, and multiplies the possible number of results you have in the search engines. For example; submit one of your pages or blog posts to the 29 social bookmarking sites listed below and that one post can now show up as 29 “unique” results in the search engines. So now instead of having that one page/blog post rank just once in the top 10, it is possible for that “one” page to actually rank 29 times… you could literally own the first 29 results in google for your search term when you use Social Bookmarking as part of your promotions.

It all comes down to proper keyword selection. The more targeted the keyword phrase the better your chances of ranking high.

For example, I use this technique for promoting highly competitive products like plasma tvs and digital cameras and do quite well with it. But I use specific model numbers like “casio exilim ex-z1080 10.1mp …” for my keyword phrase rather than “casio digital camera”.

A great source of product-specific keyword phrases, “unique” content, data feeds, and amazon RSS feeds is my very own: http://www.AffiliateTrafficMachine.com

Real Life Example:

Social Bookmarking is the technique we used live at the November 2007 Get More Traffic Blueprint workshop for getting the term “casio ex-z1080 10.1 mp digital camera” ranked; we were able to get 6 out of the top 10 spots in google within 24 hours.

Here’s how we did it:

1.       My assistant shot a quick video of me with the new casio exilim ex-z1080 digital camera.

2.       He loaded the video to youtube and ten other video sites

3.        He posted the youtube video to my blog

4.        He took the blog post url and submitted it to 10 or 20 Social Bookmarking sites using http://AutomaticBookmarking.com

5.       He took the video page itself at youtube and myspace and submitted the video page to 10 or 20 SB sites using http://AutomaticBookmarking.com

 (once you load a video to a video sharing site like youtube…  simply bookmark the video page.)

That’s it. And within hours we controlled 6 out of the top 10 search results for the term “casio exilim ex-z1080 10.1 mp digital camera”.

It’s important to note that the video on sites such as youtube.com, myspace, gofish, etc. are still ranking in the top 10 on google 30 days later, but the blog post listings on the social bookmarking sites such as propeller.com are no longer in the top 10.

That means you should use video whenever possible and bookmark the video page at the video sites themselves in addition to your blog post. You should keep adding your important pages/videos/posts to new SB sites every week or two after the initial SB promotion; the new ones will “replace” the old ones and you’ll keep your rankings in google long term.

Note: The whole SB promotion for the casio took less than 15 minutes; including shooting the video itself. We didn’t add a watermark to our video for time’s sake but You Should Always add the URL of the site you are promoting to your videos (as watermarks) before distributing them.

Using Social Marker for Your Social Bookmarking Promotions:

When you visit AutomaticBookmarking.com you’ll see a list of several dozen of the top Social Bookmarking sites such as propeller.com, technorati.com, twitter.com, etc.

social marker bookmarking

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each one of these sites (propeller.com, etc) is called a “Social Bookmarking” site.

The object is to submit the page or blog post you wish to “rank high in the engines” to as many of the social bookmarking sites as possible. If you have an entire site you wish to rank well hen submit each page/post to the Social Bookmarking sites (be sure to use the “Ranking Higher Tips” below).

Ranking Higher Tips:

The key is to make your Social Bookmarking (SB) promotions seem “natural” to the search engines. You accomplish this by setting up multiple SB accounts, and by running your promotions slowly, over time… a few today, a few next week, and a few next month, etc.

If you only have one SB account set up (1 propeller.com, 1 twitter.com, etc) the engine will eventually catch on that the account is simply being used to “influence” the search engines… and eventually they’ll stop indexing and ranking your personal SB accounts.

1.       Register multiple accounts for each of the Social Bookmarking sites listed at Social Marker (see “e” below). I suggest starting out with at least 10 unique accounts for each Social Bookmarking (SB) sites.

 

a.       For example, visit propeller.com and open up 10 unique accounts using different usernames, etc.

b.       Use free email accounts from yahoo, gmail, etc. to open up the accounts.

c.        Repeat the process for each of the 29 Social Bookmarking sites listed at Social Marker.

d.      My guys tell me that it only takes them 15 minutes to sign up for all 29 Social Bookmarking sites. So creating 10 accounts for each of the Social Bookmarking sites should only take you or your staff a few hours to complete.

e.      Use Social Maker itself when signing up for your new accounts; when it takes you to each of the 29 sites don’t enter your existing passwords, simply sign up for a new one and move on to the next.

f.        Use roboform.com to organize the passwords; it’s a great time saver.

 

2.       Rotate the SB accounts you use for each page/post/video you submit with Social Marker.

 

a.       For example, if you have 10 propeller.com accounts then randomly choose 3 of them to submit each unique page/post to this time, and the next time randomly choose 3 more.

b.      Do NOT submit the same page to all 10 of your propeller.com accounts at the same time.

  

3.       Add new SB accounts to use in your promotions on a regular basis.

a.       For example, start by setting up 10 accounts for each SB site, and then each week or two add a few new ones so you eventually get up to 40 or 50 accounts for each SB site.

 

4.       Mix it up a bit; If you are promoting your page/post/video about Jessica Alba, you should also Social bookmark items you find about her from various sites (youtube.com, myspace.com, digg.com, etc.) that are not yours (they weren’t created or posted by you). This helps give the appearance of randomness to your promotions.

 

5.       Social Bookmark the Social Bookmarking pages, too. For example, I created a video, loaded it to youtube, and then posted the youtube video on my blog. I then ran a SB promotion for my new video blog post. Then I took the video’s page at youtube and promoted that page with AutomaticBookmarking.com, too.

1.       Do your SB promotions for each page/post/video slowly over time. Do a few today, a few more next week, a few more a month from now, etc.

2.       “Tags” are your primary keywords so choose highly specific “long tail” ones whenever possible. For example, if you are promoting a “casio exilim ex-z1080 digital camera” one of your “tags” should be “casio exilim ex-z1080 digital camera”. And then includes general tags like “digital camera”, “casio camera”, “casio exilim”, etc.

3.       Create videos whenever possible and promote them with social bookmarking. Videos tend to stay in the rankings longer than the Social Bookmarks themselves. Don’t forget to SB the pages that your video is hosted on.

4.       Social Bookmarking should not be the only technique you use to promote your page/post/video. Use other techniques such as incoming links, articles, press releases, on page optimization, etc.

5.       Don’t SB every single little page/post/video you create. Social Bookmarking can cause a lot of “spam” so use it wisely.

    I would like to know what traffic consist of am I trying to sell something or traffic is? Your tutorial Im new @this need to do some stepbystep.thank you

    Jeff Johnson says: I’m not sure I understand the question but I’ll try to answer it…

    You should always try to monetize your sites.

    this is how I use these particular types of blogs (I do everythigng listed on every blog, but I do use each of these to make money from the blogs)

    You could make money by collecting emails and selling proudcts.

    You could show ads on your sites, not just adsense, but ads from cj.com , amazon.com and selling ad space to private parties.

    You could sell link placements on your blog.

    You could use the blogs to build your own mini networks and incoming links networks to support your other sites.

    step by step “make money” from these sites are not really part of this site.

    This site is about setting up an seo blog and then promoting it to get traffic.

    Hi Jeff,

    Thanks for the SB tips.

    I do have one concern regarding multiple accounts for SB. I used to adopt this strategy but I found many of the accounts was disabled later.

    I don’t know how they find out but I guess they could easily check the IP address. Can they do that?

    – lio.

    Jeff Johnson says: We handle this in many ways:

    First, we use public proxy servers and networks (TOR) to access the social networking/social media sites to set up new accounts so they always show different IP addresses.

    Second, we have outsourcing agents from all over the world create new social media account for us so they get around any filters for public proxy network bans

    Third, we use public proxy networks when we are accessing our social media account for boomarking so they don’t see one IP accessing multiple different accounts.

    Fourth, my tech guys set up proxy servers on our own network of dedicated servers so we don’t have to worry about security issues and/or public IP banning at the social media sites; for advanced users only.

    With you software Jeff I am interested in picking up free leads just to get them to the link I just posted above.
    It is password protected so you will have to Register and then log in but it is well worth it
    Thanks Jeff for your tutorial I will let you know how it works for me in a very short time.

  • 13 catzer // May 12, 2008 at 10:57 pm

    Thanks for this great information and higher ranking tips.

  • 14 Mike // May 13, 2008 at 4:02 am

    Thank you Jeff!

    I have a question though:

    Do you guys really set up multiple account at Digg?

    From what I have understood they are rather good at catching on to that kind of stuff. Does using TOR make you anonymous enough to stay under the radar?

    Jeff Johnson says: Yes, we have multiple digg accounts. Lots of them and there are ways other than proxy servers to get around it :)

  • 15 Mychael // May 13, 2008 at 4:17 am

    Very informative! Concern because I’am not a techie

  • 16 Bhakti // May 13, 2008 at 8:37 am

    wow. I always look for this kind of tutorial and never found one.

    Now, I have found and your tutorial is so easy to understand with its detail.

    Thanks Jeff

  • 17 Mark // May 13, 2008 at 2:33 pm

    Hi Jeff,

    I was super excited about this system until I read you need to use “public proxy servers and networks (TOR)” …
    “outsourcing agents from all over the world “…etc. to get around having your accounts banned and closed.

    How do us little guys with no staff or outsourcing budget get around these challenges???

    Again I do appreciate the wealth of free info provided I just want make sure it isn’t all for “not” in my case.

    Cheers.

    Jeff Johnson says: If you don’t have staff do it yourself the smart way and use shortcuts/software to do the jobs for you.

  • 18 Kathy // May 13, 2008 at 9:11 pm

    Thanks. I was wondering if that idea of using the free email accounts would work. Works like a charm!

  • 21 David // May 14, 2008 at 4:18 pm

    Jeff,

    Thank you. I have been struggling to get all of the information your post just gave me for over 10 months now. Not to mention the money I have spent trying to find a step by step system. You have done it, and for free too. With this and your SEO blog software, i am confident I am on my way to the next level. Might actually make a few dollars too.
    Thanks

    Public proxy servers is a new one for me.
    Can I set this up through a browser?

    Thanks for all the great content!

  • 25 Mark // May 20, 2008 at 6:57 pm

    Jeff,

    Thanks for the great content… One item I was hoping you could put together is a camtasia type video to show people how to use the socialmarker.com site, which is…to me… very confusing to navigate…

    I’ve used the onlywire.com service with limited success, but its MUCH more user friendly and quick to use..

    Thanks again,

    Mark

  • 28 Daniel Murray // May 27, 2008 at 6:50 pm

    Hi Jeff,

    How do you manage to create multiple social bookmarking accounts without getting picked up as a ’spammer’? Do you go through a proxy when doing it or do you have something else up your sleeve. Would love to know what you do.

    Cheers,

    Dan ;-)

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for the free SEO WP.
    I’ve got trouble with the multiple accounts for social marketing, as you told:
    if you have 10 propeller.com accounts then randomly choose 3 of them to submit each unique page/post.
    Actually each page/post have the same url address and they won’t accept it for multiple accounts with the same story url.
    Please assist on this matter. Thanks
    Cheers.

    Fantastic set of videos Jeff, thank you!

    Some great advice and information in all of the videos.

    Like you’ve said, it does requires outsourcing, or a whole heap of spare time.

    Nevertheless, your advice does bare fruit and I can confirm that. Social sites are worth the effort, especially for website owners who have a home business.

    The time and money you save from not paying for or chasing traffic is worth the cost of outsourcing.

    Great stuff. thanks Jeff.
    Wishing you good fortune.
