Social Bookmarking Doubt

This might be a stupid question but well I have to ask.


I have heard social bookmarking your articles in article directories will help improve the visitors you get from those articles. I am wondering, we submit the articles to lot of directories. So are we supposed to bookmark the articles in all directories. Wont those sites suspend your account. So is there an alternative for this. I mean, I doubt I can write an edited article for each directory I submit. Lol


Thanks
Jimmy

    Personally, I think bookmarking is going only provide very limited helpful results. I think all too often people focus on getting first time visitors, rather than building user retention. User retention IS the #1 way to build traffic.

    Here's how I do it...

    I submit the articles to multiple directories but I would only then bookmark a few .. mainly the big ones like EzineArticles.com, Buzzle.com etc

    I would also make sure to have an alternative version on my own site and bookmark that one too.

    You don't need to bookmark every single directory you submit to - especially if it's just going to be the same content on all the sites.

    Hope this helps,

    Richard

      If you have the right social bookmarking strategy then you can literally generate heaps of free traffic from social bookmarking sites like Digg, Delicious,Stumbleupon etc. Here is an article of what Social Bookmarking is for those of you that's not familiar with the term.

      There are some major pitfalls when it comes to social bookmarking that can seriously hurt your Seo ranking and even get you banned from the social bookmarking community.It is important to remember that social bookmarking is a social community hence the word social in social bookmarking.

      1. Never bookmark only your own sites as you will be seen as a selfish spammer and you will get penalized.You want to act like you are a normal person surfing the web bookmarking all kinds of different sites.Don't just bookmark business related sites.Bookmark any site that you find interesting.Then systematically bookmark your own sites and you will start to see some serious traffic coming in.

      2.Never bookmark the same site with the same headline and tags in more than one social bookmarking site at the same time.This is a very poor social bookmarking strategy.Remember, again you want to come across as just a normal person who bookmarks all of their favorite sites.Why would a normal person bookmark the same site on 20 different social bookmarking sites all at the same time? This is a dead giveaway and you might get penalized.

      So in a nutshell your social bookmarking strategy should be to act as a normal person and bookmark all of your favorite sites you find and then systematically also bookmark your own sites.

      Never bookmark the same site in two different bookmarking sites at the same time and always make sure you enter your tags and your title correctly when you bookmark your sites.The search engines are looking for the tags you have on your bookmarks and this strategy can bring you tons of traffic if you are patient and do things right.

        Thanks for the replies guys

        When I make the alternate version should I change the tile too. I mean sometimes when we are reviewing some product it will be quite hard.


        Thanks guys.
