Social bookmarking sites for backlinks

Hi,

I'm a newbie trying to get my head around backlinking and was wondering if social bookmarking is still a valid way to get backlinks?

With Digg announcing that they are adding no follow to many of their external links to combat spam, I wonder how many social bookmarking sites will do the same (or are already adding no follow to links).

Where is the best place to concentrate your efforts when trying to build backlinks?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Manda

    Yup its a good way but usually they aren't considered quality untill they achieve some good place like if you got lots of diggs then your digg 'll be appearing on main page at that it would be getting most of its exposure at the same time search engines will consider a high quality link. You must try link exchange and one way links. Forums signature also work well in this regard.

    I noticed that even though they are nofollow links they still show up as backlinks in Webmaster tools.

      Rather than quantity you should aim for QUALITY in backlinks, they have more link 'juice' as far as Google is concerned.

      Write quality articles and submit as far and wide as possible, make them as unique as you can by 'spinning' them. Backlinks from articles are much better than just a few lines in a 'profile' in social media sites - they count for very little and may be thought of as 'spammy' by Google - so not a lot of weight is given to them.

    My experience has been that although I get some traffic from Social bookmarks, it hardly ever leads to any sales. It seems to me that the crowd using them is of the 'surf for clicks' variety and not a targeted audience. If anyone has a different view I'd love to hear it.
    Thanks

    No doubt if social bookmarking site is dofollow then you getting backlinks for your site.

    For backlinks you need to do link exchange with quality and related sites.

    Comment posting, blog posting also good for getting backlinks.

    I think some are missing the boat here, social bookmarking is a great source of backlinks not to mention how fast they show up. however they should be far from your only source of backlinks. It is important to have a good mix of backlinks, get some from forums, get some from bookmarks, get some from commenting, get them from article submissions and create your own feeder sites to grab more backlinks. In addition you should create backlinks for your feeder sites to boost the juice you will get from them. You should also be bookmarking any articles you submit to get more juice from them. It is ok to get some recipricol backlinks but don't rely on them too much. Additionally use bookmarking sites that have nofollow as well, just cause they are not counted does not mean they are not seen by the search engines, it may look a little funny if all the bookmarks for your site come only from dofollow sites.
