Using Social Bookmarking Sites for Small Business

Now that you have your niche marketing blog set up and have several posts done you need to show Google that they are relevant by giving them some “link love”. One very good way to do this is through the use of social bookmarking sites. Just like Facebook, Twitter and other social communities, social bookmarking sites are used by many people surfing the net for information.

Why should you do this step?

This will help each page of your blog get indexed faster on Google. If your site is showing up on the social bookmarking sites then Google will make a point of crawling the page. This can mean the difference in how fast you can penetrate your niche. Once you get the hang of doing it you should take the 10 or 15 minutes to do it every time you create a blog post.

Remember back in the preparation for this course when I had you sign up for all of those sites? Well this lesson is where I am going to show you how to use them. I know you all understand now how very long it can take to sign up for them all. You can appreciate just how long it would take you to manually go into each site and place a link for each of your blog posts.

I am going to show you a several really great time saving ways to quickly add your links to them all.

socialmarker.com is a site where you can put the bookmark information of the page you want to bookmark into the text fields and click on submit. They will then go through one by one the social bookmarking sites you have selected and pre-fill in the forms. This makes it much faster to go through the process of adding your links and descriptions to the sites.

This video will walk you through how to use the social marker site. The first time you use it it will not be supre fast because you will have to sign in but if you use it on a regular basis all of the sites will already be signed in and it will go much faster.

The next service I use for bookmarking is called www.traffic-bug.com. Now this is not a free service but it does have a free trial period so you can use it while learning to see if it is something you find useful and worth the money. The reason I like it is because it is set it and forget it. It works away at submitting your site for you. Once you set up the first session for each page in your blog you do not have to do anything else ever again. Over a period of time this service will go out and submit your pages to the social bookmark sites without you ever having to do anything else. Huge time saver!

This video likely explains it better. I use this service so I don’t have to take the time to do all the social bookmarking myself for the majority of the sites. That way I can focus my time on developing more niches and doing more blog posts. It is up to you whether paying for this service is right for you. You may decide to wait until your niche is paying for itself and just use the socialmaker service instead.
