Social Bookmarking Question

5 replies
Let's say I'm going to open up a whole bunch of social bookmarking accounts.
Each one at a different social bookmarking site so when I post to a blog I can bookmark at all of them and get a bunch of links.

Will it cause me problems if all of these have the exact same username at every site?

Has Google caught onto this and will discount those links?

Thank you guys for your answer.

    I've used the same username on most of my accounts, but if it concerns you then perhaps you can randomize your account names. I use the same names so it's a bit easier and less confusing. I can't say for sure if Google will penalize you for linking to the same site on all your bookmarking accounts using the same username. It leaves an easy to follow trail, but if they're penalizing you for it, I surely haven't noticed.

    don't have a solid answer on that, but randomization is always a good bet.
    Nofootprint=NoGbanning your sites.

    But as an endall, can't say I've done a solid test with it, for me, multiple names.

    just add a 123 somewhere in the above and you're golden (usually).

    I use different names for different bookmarking sites.

    You probably need to register accounts from different IP addresses. Social bookmark sites note IP addresses. Some will not allow you to register if you are using anonymous proxy servers.
