Social Bookmarking to Boost Search Visibility
Social Bookmarking Websites offer another strategy for effective online marketing. Social Bookmarking Websites are
actually a rather simple concept. These are lists of online favorites submitted by users within that community. Just like you have your favorites bookmarked on your Internet browser, Social Bookmarking Websites offer you a place online to store your favorites, making them visible to the public and easily shared with other users. Search engines take note of Websites that users have saved and shared as favorites and give preferential treatment to them.
The flexibility of Social Bookmarking Websites allow users to save and recommend whatever type of content they wish. Many list product pages, company profiles, as well as jokes and the latest news within favorites or bookmarks. Therefore, virtually any content is available to use as bookmarking content. However, keep in mind; the more informative, intriguing, interesting or provocative the content is, the further it will spread.
What advantages do Social Bookmarking Websites provide to my business?
Social Bookmarking Websites offer you access to a huge audience you may have been missing out on before. There are many Social Bookmarking Websites, over 125 and counting. StumbleUpon is one such Social Bookmarking Website, and it alone has over 6 million users. Other bookmarking communities boast high membership numbers as well, giving you a large, accessible audience who are looking for new and exciting information on the Web.
Like other Social Media communities, Social Bookmarking Websites offer your business the opportunity to grab potential customers' attention. You can reach your audience through online channels that potential customers are using on a daily basis.
Social Bookmarking Websites typically will not drive large amounts of traffic. However they will gain eyeballs and visibility for your company. You can build your brand and your expert authority by promoting your strongest content to Social Bookmarking Websites. The more informative, interesting or provocative your content, the more popular it becomes. The more popular it becomes within Bookmarking communities, the more visibility and brand recognition your company will receive.
Along with eyeballs, Social Bookmarking Websites provide your company with an advantage in search positions. Google and other search engines view links from Social Bookmarking Websites with a high degree of credibility. Because Social Bookmarking Websites are almost completely user-driven, search engines see content bookmarked as something users are interested in and find useful. Therefore a link from a Social Website holds more value than 10 links from rarely used free directories.
