3 Tips for Social Bookmarking

Many SEOs use social bookmarks to build links and drive content to their web properties. Some use it primarily for getting targeted traffic to their blogs while others use it in link wheels and complex linking methodologies to rank higher.

Regardless of which kind of bookmarker you are, here are a few social bookmarking tips that any marketer would do well to master.

Tip 1: Bookmark your best content

When bookmarking content, you should really concentrate on getting traffic. That’s not to say you always have to follow this, but it should often times be a main concern. For instance, you should be bookmarking every blog post you publish. If you put your hard work and time into writing an awesome post then you should not avoid promoting it as much as you can. One vital step in your routine should be bookmarking your content.

Tip 2: Use Automation

If you are bookmarking more for the SEO aspects, then you should definitely be using some sort of automation. It is simply not feasible to be manually bookmarking every single little thing you do. If you put out content regularly then it can be quite time consuming to submit every single post to multiple social bookmarking websites.

Also, if you are planning on bookmarking your backlinks then you will definitely want to use some sort of submission software for your mass bookmarking.

Tip 3: Vary the anchor text in your social bookmarks

When linking to your website and it’s blog posts, you will want to choose anchor text that is descriptive and will also help your site rank higher. This is even more important when using bookmarks to practice tiered link building. You don’t want to miss out on the SEO value by linking with irrelevant anchor text that won’t help increase your rankings. Contrarily, you don’t want to overdo things either. Make sure you don’t simply link with your exact match anchor text over and over again. Instead, mix up your anchor text as much as you can when mass submitting social bookmarks for SEO.
