Social Bookmarking

In this article I am going to talk about how you can use social bookmarking to obtain visitors to your own website. Huge bookmarking is no longer effective as the large numbers of hyperlinks to your own website looks like junk to the search engines and therefore you need to be particular where you save your website.

Basically social bookmarking is where someone contributes your website to a social bookmarking website such as StumbleUpon or Stumbleupon.

Since there is a social part to these bookmarking sites other individuals get to see what type of sites have been saved.

For example, if a particular website has obtained a lot of favorites then it will get higher exposure on that particular bookmarking website and therefore probably get even more attention from other individuals going to the website.

It is human instinct to want to discover out for yourself what seems to be well-known to others so social bookmarking is a way to discuss with other individuals what type of sites you like and for others to go and check it out for themselves.

If you have a website then it is a very wise decision to have some symbols on your sites where individuals can just click and instantly book indicate your particular web page. There are free WordPress plug-ins that allow you to do this.

There are also plug-ins that you can purchase that allow you to instantly save any web page on your website to a whole fill of bookmarking sites. However I would not recommend using these as Google guide suggests only using a few of these sites to obtain exposure to your own website.

I would recommend that you choose two or three of your favorite bookmarking sites or ones that you know to be well-known with in your particular market and then save your webpages personally yourself.

If you are going to use a WordPress plug-in to make symbols on your sites then I recommend you use the symbol for the very same three bookmarking sites that you are already using. That way you will increase the exposure of your particular website on those particular bookmarking sites.

It is also a wise decision to discover other sites that are relevant to your market and to save some of those sites so that your particular information contain not just your own website will other professionals in your market.
