Hey guys, I want to thank you in advance for your help. I have searched everywhere for answers regarding Social Bookmarks with no results.

I am relatively new to SEO and recently finished reading the book SEO Made Simple (4th Edition) by Michael Fleischner. The book recommends a SEO campaign which includes 25 Social Bookmarks per month.

Fleischner does a great job explaining the basic concept of a Social Bookmarking and the many ways it benefits SEO, but the specific details are a bit blurry. He recommends using multiple bookmarking accounts because using a single account and bookmarking the same sites will accrue less value than the alternative.

The book goes into no further detail. Trying to find further information, I researched several websites and forums. Most suggested only bookmarking one webpage per account. I also learned that each account has to be affiliated with a different email address.

I am assuming the proper way to implement this social bookmarking campaign would be to pick 25 of the best social bookmarking sites. Each month create a new email address, then use that one email address to create a new profile for each previously picked bookmarking site.

Doing this will allow me to place one new link per each new profile per month. The links will total 25 until I expand the campaign. Is this the correct way to do this? Do I need to do more or less?

Also my research concluded, I use a different description and tags for each entry. Is it even necessary to use these. Can't I just place the URL and/or anchor and not use a description or tag. Seems the description would be hard not to duplicate after doing multiple bookmarks.

Sorry the post is so long. I think i'm over complicating things as usual but wanted insight before continuing. Thanks for your help.

    Just go make some DoFollow social bookmarking links. Don't overthink it.

    Instead of spending time thinking about what you're going to do, just go do it.

    25 Social Bookmark backlinks shouldn't be a month long process, that could be done manually in a few hours.

    Yes you are over-thinking it. It's easy and they can all have same email address. It sounds like they suggest that to make it look as if they belong to different people.

    What you want to do is:

    1) Create all your profiles and use same email on top 25 if you'd like. These will be strictly for updating your profiles with news about your brand.
    2) The point of all this is to gain social signals. That means you want to have other people sharing your content. You can use a like for like service or a syndication service.

    You can find a list of bookmarking sites here. You can even hire someone who creates accounts on fiverr or freelancer to create them for you.

    Autopost to Top 50 Social Sites

    What you need to automate this is a social media management tool submit to Top 50 Social Networks and Bookmarking Sites. Use these to update your profiles with news about your brand. These tools allow you to gain up to 50 shares per post but when you connect this with a integrated social media syndication tool it allows you to gain shares into 1000s.

    You can either use a social media exchange to have other people share your links or use a social media syndication service.

    Difference Between Social Media Exchanges and Social Media Syndication

    Social Media Syndication: Platform that connects to autopost service that allows other people to share your content.

    1) Can submit to 50+ social networks
    2) Integrated with social media management tools

    1) Usually submit to top 10 or less social networks
    2) Accounts likely to be abused by people reselling likes
    3) Gain shares into 1000s by unique people as long as you have points

      You are welcome, social media marketing is what I use a lot more than SEO in general. Focus on targeting and you can be successful.

    You can buy social bookmarks (100s for next to nothing) and those will be links from profiles (typically ghosted) that "like" or "follow" 100s of other sites from people who bought bookmarks just like you.

    The idea is that they don't like a certain category, they like everything.

    Flip side: You create your own social bookmark profiles and think simply "bookmarking" your site once and walking away will be any better than buying them in first place. It won't. Those sites will look like you made them for one reason - SEO.

    Save yourself the trouble and buy bookmarks. Just do your homework before you buy.

      Bought some a while back and just received an offer (like 50% off) from the provider again to do a campaign.

      Hadn't used them in a while so when I was searching for the file with access details I stumbled upon...no pun intended,,, an original report from an order in late 2013.

      Started checking through the report and nearly every link was dead with some sites saying the account was under review.

      This was from a company considered to be a major social book-marker.

      Needless to say I didn't utilise their offer.

      Is this the experience of anyone else?

        Sure, it's pretty common for a large portion of the purchased links to eventually be worthless, but when it comes to Tier 1 and beyond, I think the idea switches from quality vs quantity to quantity vs quality.

        As long as the links to your money site are clean and legit I think you're fine. Use these automated services (that are dirt cheap) to throw links at your controlled sites that, in turn, point to your main site.

    Users on social bookmarking sites are enabled to bookmark the sites they like based on some related tags. Some social bookmarking sites also allow the users to vote for the sites that they like most. Websites having good content can expect to get most of the votes and visits of the members of these social bookmarking sites.

    The benefits of social bookmarking are:
    Instant Indexing – You will be indexed by various Search Engines within hours of getting your site bookmarked on various sites.

    Natural links – If you have a really intriguing website or blog, then chances are that others will want to include a link to your site from their own site. So this will ensure plenty of one way links that have been obtained naturally.

    Social Network Exposure – If your blog or site has been mentioned on various social networks by thousands of users in their profiles, then the search engines will give your blog/ site more importance while ranking it.

    Social book marking will help getting a back links but you need to submit on dofollow bookmarking sites for example Delicious, redit etc otherwise the links which you submitted in nofollow can't index by the google...
