How often to Social Bookmark without getting sandboxed?

14 years ago

From my experience, I would focus on the number of links you're getting per day, and not just the frequency.

For example, if what if you bookmarked twice a week, and each time you received 500 links. That wouldn't look nature to the SE's.

My suggestion is to try to average less than 15 links per day, 5-6 days per week. This will allow you to fly under the radar, as well as, accumulate a massive number of links over time. (Much more nature)

Good content alone is not good enough... Search Engines are looking for social validation and yes this does effect your rankings. You can have all the greatest content in the world but if nobody can see it then it does not matter.

Backlinks are required and especially now since many SEO tricks are no longer working. This is why it is very important to have social media as apart of your marketing. You must have social references and that means bookmarks/backlinks leading to your great content.

This number is way too small to attract any attention. You would have to be doing 1000's and 1000's to even have the potential to cause you any serious problems.

One thing to remember about social bookmarking links is that they're very weak and very temporary. They can give your page a temporary boost but their impact weakens quickly. They move backwards in the time line and are soon buried and gone. You either have to continue getting them or, better yet, develop more permanent, higher value, links to support your site.

Thanks for the answers.

I have noticed some of that bgmacaw; that the links are temporary.

Nowadays PageRank is less important to rank high. Relevant links count much more I guess.
So my plan for the future is to get 5-6 articles published, do social bookmarking on them. And when the articles rank high (and they most likely will), they will give me a "relevant link boost".

Sounds like an OK strategy?

I thought I might publish some (quickly written) articles to link to the articles that link to me too.

Thanks

@bgmacaw how long do you think it takes before the Social Bookmarking effect have worn off? A week? A couple of weeks? More?

I generally see 1 to 3 weeks but I'm constantly bookmarking individual pages on my sites on a daily basis so I don't track it too closely, it's too time consuming and distracting.

Great content gets natural bookmarks. If you publish good stuff you won't need to worry about how often to bookmark

While that might be true, if you don't get yourself found by moving up in the search engines, no one will know about the content to bookmark it.

lol....

This kind of advice leaves people wondering where the ca$h is at...

I appreciate you're trying to make a point, and you do have one, but to imply that content alone is going to rank well in the ever updating search engine optimization field is crazy.. you and I both know it.

We're not talking about popularity bookmarks here.. for some crazy viral video.. we're talking about turning this thing into a profitable activity.

@bgmacaw Do you bookmark sites with the "intention of getting diggs" or as a way of getting backlinks and crawls?

I find it hard to get "diggs" (or similar) when bookmarking sites which aren't in English.

I pretty much ignore Digg and Stumbleupon because their traffic is mostly a non-converting bandwidth waster. I use Twitter some but it's mostly to inform my existing customers and as sort of a press release for products, not promoting my niche sites.

I use niche related and general purpose minor bookmarking sites for getting indexed and links. I also get some traffic from these directly, occasionally a decent spike.

You can do 5,000 backlinks in a day and it not hurt you, why people still think they must do 15 or 20 per day is beyond me.

Again as been said many times over - Go do a press release with PRWeb and see dont you get hundreds if not thousands of backlinks within hours.. It does not hurt you one bit..

Fact is no spider/bot can monitor billions of sites every single second of every day... Not even google can do that, it's impossible..

With that said you must do social bookmarking "properly" and that means do not spam the heck out of sites with your urls.

  Course this also depends upon you having a well written release that is news worthy ....
  
  I just did a press release and at the same time I did several thousands of backlinks .. all in the same day, I see no mythical "sandbox". This is very normal to get hundreds or thousands of backlinks in a day.

I think you should only do 5 backlinks a day to avoid getting sandboxed...

Leave all the rest up to me

: cue evil laughter :

Seriously... for the lack of quality that social bookmarking brings... you should be focusing on some stronger backlinks... thousands of them.

@james, this press release thing, do you get any backlinks from that if you have a medicore article which you are writing about?

Does the press release work the same as sending emails to journalists, and hoping they'd write about your story?

A press release and an article is 2 different things ... Yes content is content but a press release needs to be "news worthy" otherwise nobody will bother publishing it.

If news worthy many will pick it up and republish it... Such as articlesbase.com republished my press release and so did many news and blog sites. This is where you get your backlinks from.

If you are just going to slap a press release out there for backlinks then you will be disappointed in the money you spent for the release. I can not stress enough it must be news worthy and it must be formatted properly.

I don't have any experiance with press releases but I would guess that not all niches are suitable for them.

For instance... it is rather hard to imagine a press release for a penis enlargement site. It could be formatted properly but I doubt there would be anything news worthy about it.

While I am no press release expert ... I can promise you that the penis enlargement company (you know the one that creates the stuff) does do press releases.

Anything can be news worthy, as long as it is written to be news worthy...

@opiel I could easily write a press release which would get you backlinks for penis enlargement. It's just to use your imagination.

@james, Thanks for the reply. I guess it's the same as emailing the news companies then. If you have something newsworthy (or something you have "made" newsworthy"), you might get backlinks, if not, then you'll get none...

Thanks
