Does it really serve any purpose other than to get sites indexed quickly? I have no problem getting my sites indexed, but I was wondering if subscribing to a service like SocialMonkee.com might be worthwhile(in addition to my standard routine) for boosting my link volume, SERPS and thus traffic. How has it helped you? Thanks.

    I'd say that social bookmarking is important and effective, but consider that some fan pages/websites have hundreds of thousands of real profiles bookmarking them. Therefore making a few dozen fake profiles with very little activity will not do very much. I would focus on trying to get more real "likes" and other social bookmarks.

    Hi Steve,

    From an SEO point of view Social Bookmarking is about 10% of what you actually need to be doing. Bookmarking sites is well and good but without links to your bookmarks they really don't have any SEO juice.

    Personally I'm doing as little social bookmarking as possible - I've seen very little benefit to them (apart from having a variety of links) in terms of site traffic and rankings.

    Having 10,000 bookmarks for your site is pointless unless those links have any real value. A single link from a high PR blog is worth WAY more,

    Hope that helps

    Niall

    I use SocialAdr and have been very impressed with the results actually. I think the reason it works so well is because other users bookmark your sites along with a variety of other sites so it definitely looks more "real".

    With good onpage seo and an exact match domain I've been able to get on the first page quite a few times with nothing but SocialAdr

    To be honest, I'm not even sure what social bookmarking even is. Should I assume it has to do with FaceBook or Twitter? I know I'm missing some part of the puzzle but I have no idea exactly what it is..... :confused:
