Alternative Methods For Using Social Bookmarking In your Online Business

A couple of years ago the more popular bookmark sites made all their links to no follow which had a huge impact on bookmark rankings. Sites like Technocratic and Digg, plus a few others, were able to rule the first pages of SE-RPS in Google due to their high PR status. Naturally, I make supposition about any impact Google had with those changing their links to no-follow. It does make for interesting speculation but not terribly significant at this point.

Make no mistake about what is possible at high PR bookmarking web|internet sites when you take a different approach with them. The majority of people who use them for back linking tend to make very thin profiles that provide no value to the particular community. There are a few more strategically minded marketers who make an effort and create high quality bookmark profiles. They have found that the more ‘full bodied’ profiles do not get deleted and have a longer shelf life. Hopefully you understand the great benefit offered when you take an approach surrounding a higher quality profile.

There is a balance that you have to hold with the amount of content and various promotional methods in your feeds. Another important aspect is to take time and build relationships at these bookmark sites. It is not needed to spend time building relationships and becoming known, but it does not have to be totally time consuming. In the end, how you approach making use of bookmarking sites in your own business is your call. The truth is a lot of IM marketers do not want to spend time with long-term strategic approaches. Maybe you can try it at just one powerful bookmarking site and see how you prefer the results.
