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”.
Social Bookmarking is the technique we used live at the November 2007 Get More Traffic Blueprint workshop for getting our term in the search engines within hours; we were able to get 6 out of the top 10 spots in google within 24 hours.
And the video is still ranked #1 on google in August 2009... almost 2 years later.
Yes, it's a very focused keword and we have since completely abandoned the site and the video... but if you are looking to sell niche products than this is definitely worth testing.
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 (the one the video was posted on) at youtube and myspace and submitted the video page to 10 or 20 SB sites using http://AutomaticBookmarking.com
That’s it. And within hours we controlled 6 out of the top 10 search results for the 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.
That also means 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. So please don't spend a lot of time bookmarking your stuff. You really only need to use it to help jumpstart the traffic to your site or video by helping the search engines find it. Human visitors that find your bookmarks in the search results are also a good source of extra traffic.
Also, 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.
