<p>Website popularity remains one of the most important criteria for determining page rank. As a result, anything you can do to make it look like a large number of websites reference yours is bound to improve your ranking. Once your website is ready for public viewing, you will want to increase traffic as quickly as possible, as well as advance your rank in the search engines. Because social bookmarking sites are dedicated to making it easy for people to find websites, they can help you generate the kind of backlinks that will achieve both goals.</p>
<p>As may be expected, when you post your own webpage on a social bookmarking site, it will create one backlink. If you post your site on a large number of social bookmarking platforms, it will generate one backlink per site. Because many surfers prefer to look for sites through bookmarking services, you should see an immediate increase in traffic. As may be expected, appropriately categorized bookmarks will be more reputable, and garner more attention than ones that are not.</p>
<p>If web surfers find interesting content on your site, they may decide to reference it on their own pages, or even in their blogs. In this way, your website can gain more popularity than it would if people were simply trying to locate your site in a search engine. Once your site gradually gains more popularity, individuals should be able to easily find it on both bookmarking sites and in traditional search engines - resulting in increased traffic!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Lee Cole</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re an internet marketer, then Digg, Squidoo, Hubpages, StumbleUpon, Propeller, and a hundred or so other sites are probably one your most important assets on the Web right now. I can create a site on my own domain tonight, post a few pages to several social bookmarking sites, and create a 50 - 100 visitor a day phenomenon that just keeps on rolling and building.</p>
<p>Let me tell you why this works and a little about how to use it.</p>
<p>Google hates new sites! Well, &#8220;hates&#8221; might be a little extreme, but you know what I mean. Let&#8217;s just say, Google prefers older sites. The idea is the older the site, the more probability that the site has content that satisfies Google&#8217;s users.</p>
<p>Remember Google has one and only one goal in life&#8211;to deliver the perfect search results every time. New sites are unproven, and less likely to do this.</p>
<p>That presents a problem for those of us who make new sites on a monthly, if not weekly basis. How can you get your site seen, how can you get the traffic, if Google consistently ranks older sites higher than your new site?</p>
<p>Enter Web 2.0!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s use Squidoo as an example.</p>
<p>Squidoo is a site that let&#8217;s you build mini websites on their platform. Although, from your point of view, you&#8217;re building a new site, Google doesn&#8217;t look at it that way. Squidoo sites are ranked very highly in the search results.</p>
<p>If you Digg a webpage on your new site, your webpage might not show up in the search results, but your Digg post has a great chance of ranking highly&#8211;which is just as well. People will see the Digg post and click through to your site.</p>
<p>When I build a site, or work on getting traffic to a new site, I use these Web 2.0 platforms to gather traffic and send it to my new site. I&#8217;ll use Digg, StumbleUpon, Propeller and the like to create buzz.</p>
<p>This is essentially viral marketing.</p>
<p>But wait! There&#8217;s more.</p>
<p>Not everything is going to make it to Digg&#8217;s front page. There seems to be a small number of topics that do. That&#8217;s because Digg&#8217;s users are a fairly narrow demographic. If, however, your site addresses one of Digg&#8217;s pet topics, then you can create a ton of server crushing traffic by getting people to vote your page up.</p>
<p>I know this is gaming the system, but isn&#8217;t that what marketing is all about?</p>
<p>Lately, several more niche social bookmarking sites are popping up. They&#8217;re easier to go viral in. HealthRanker would be an example in the health field.</p>

<p>Social bookmarking sites generally organize their content using tags. Social bookmarking sites are an increasingly popular way to locate, classify, rank, and share Internet resources through the practice of tagging and inferences drawn from grouping and analysis of tags.</p>
<p>History</p>
<p>The concept of shared online bookmarking dates back to April 1996 with the launch of itList.com. Within the next three years online bookmark services became competitive, with venture-backed companies like Backflip, Blink,[citation needed] Clip2, Hotlinks, Quiver, and others entering the market. Lacking viable models for making money, most of this early generation of social bookmarking companies failed as the dot-com bubble burst. The contemporary concepts of social bookmarking and tagging took root with the launch of the web site oneview in 1999[1] and del.icio.us, in September of 2003.</p>
<p>Functional Overview</p>
<p>In a social bookmarking system, users store lists of Internet resources, which they find useful. Often, these lists are publicly accessible, and other people with similar interests can view the links by category, tags, or even randomly. Some social bookmarking systems allow for privacy on a per-bookmark basis.</p>
<p>They also categorize their resources by the use of informally assigned, user-defined keywords or tags (see folksonomy). Most social bookmarking services allow users to search for bookmarks which are associated with given &#8220;tags&#8221;, and rank the resources by the number of users which have bookmarked them. Many social bookmarking services also have implemented algorithms to draw inferences from the tag keywords that are assigned to resources by examining the clustering of particular keywords, and the relation of keywords to one another.</p>
<p>Advantages</p>
<p>This system has several advantages over traditional automated resource location and classification software, such as search engine spiders. All tag-based classification of Internet resources (such as web sites) is done by human beings, who understand the content of the resource, as opposed to software which algorithmically attempts to determine the meaning of a resource. This provides for semantically classified tags, which are hard to find with contemporary search engines.</p>
<p>Additionally, as people bookmark resources that they find useful, resources that are of more use are bookmarked by more users. Thus, such a system will &#8220;rank&#8221; a resource based on its perceived utility. This is arguably a more useful metric for end users than other systems which rank resources based on the number of external links pointing to it.</p>
<p>Automatic Notification</p>
<p>Since the classification and ranking of resources is a continuously evolving process, many social bookmarking services allow users to subscribe to syndication feeds (see RSS) based on tags, or collection of tag terms. This allows subscribers to become aware of new resources for a given topic, as they are noted, tagged, and classified by other users.</p>
<p>Disadvantages</p>
<p>There are drawbacks to such tag-based systems as well: no standard set of keywords (also known as controlled vocabulary), no standard for the structure of such tags (e.g. singular vs. plural, capitalization, etc.), mistagging due to spelling errors, tags that can have more than one meaning, unclear tags due to synonym/antonym confusion, highly unorthodox and &#8220;personalized&#8221; tag schemas from some users, and no mechanism for users to indicate hierarchical relationships between tags (e.g. a site might be labeled as both cheese and cheddar, with no mechanism that might indicate that cheddar is a refinement or sub-class of cheese).</p>
<p>The separate (but related) tagging and social bookmarking services are, however, evolving rapidly, and these shortcomings could possibly be addressed in the near future.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s a well-known fact that to rank highly on the search engines, you need lots of quality backlinks (links pointing back to your website). Here are 5 of the best places for you to get incoming links:</p>
<p>1. Social bookmarking sites</p>
<p>Post up your social bookmarks at popular sites like Digg, reddit and Stumble Upon. This is a great way to get high Page Rank backlinks to your site quickly and easily.</p>
<p>2. Blogs</p>
<p>You can create several blogs on Wordpress and Blogger and have some links pointing back to your site. Blogs have an instant high Page Rank which you can leverage on. The more blogs which link to your website, the higher your website will rank, especially if the blogs are relevant to your website. Another way you can utilize this tactic is to contact other blog owners and have them link to your site, and vice-versa.</p>
<p>3. Classified Ads</p>
<p>You can also use the search engine optimization power of classified ads sites like US Free Ads to get some quality backlinks. Simply write up a short ad and include a link to your site.</p>
<p>4. Articles</p>
<p>Write articles and submit them to article directories, and have your URL in the resource box. This is an amazing way to get your links viral.</p>
<p>5. Forums</p>
<p>Good forums are often ranked highly on the search engines because of the amount of new content they generate daily. Search for some forums in your niche and make posts, while including your link in your signature file.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By R. Scott Hall</p>
<p>As you already know, social media is an extended conversation with your community or market. Every type of Web 2.0 platform gives you a way to participate in an ongoing conversation. One of the best social media marketing tips I can give you is to get into blogging.</p>
<p>A blog is a way for you to not only participate in a conversation but to initiate one and become a thought leader - or guru, if you will. When you have a blog you are in charge of the content. In a blog post you can write as much as you want and there are no space limitations the way there are if you write for a magazine or a website run by someone else. Readers can leave comments, if you choose. But a blog can be a one-person show if you want and you can keep the comments turned off all the time. Even if you do this you are still part of a conversation because other websites will link to you and comment about your posts on their own blog. People will also bookmark your posts on Stumbleupon and other sites and leave comments there as well. So there is no such thing as blogging in a vacuum. This is a good thing because if you are business owner you certainly don&#8217;t want to blog in a vacuum.</p>
<p>A blog is another way to develop your persona and build a relationship with your audience, especially if you vary your content and let your personal side show from time to time. It can be difficult to provide a variety of content and most blogger find that after the honeymoon period ends, it&#8217;s hard to work to post new material on a consistent basis. Depending on your situation, you might want to outsource the task from time to time or invite other bloggers to post guest blog posts.</p>
<p>The best blogging platform if you are using your own web host is Wordpress. It is user friendly and is a one-click install at many web hosts. If you don&#8217;t have hosting and want to test the waters with a free blog and if you want to make money from the blog with ads or affiliate links, then Blogger is the best platform. Blogger does not have restrictions about ads or links. Also, Google owns Blogger so you don&#8217;t have to worry about Google slaps. As long as Google owns Blogger, Blogger posts will rank well in the search engines, especially if you use targeted keywords.</p>
<p>Every blog has a blog roll in the sidebar. You use this space to link to your favorite blogs. In return, other blogs will link to you, too, if you build</p>
<p>relationships with them. When you have a blog you should also take time to read other blogs in your community or market and leave comments and send e-mails. Not only does this spread goodwill but your reputation as a thought leader will increase too, along with your profits.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re interested in blogging just for fun or for business, you should take the plunge now if you haven&#8217;t already. You&#8217;ll quickly see how fun having your own little space on the internet can be.</p>

<p>Want to improve your rankings with the search engines and with real people? Here&#8217;s what can happen.  Social bookmarking sites like Digg, Stumbleupon, Technorati, Del.icio.us, and others, are online communities.  These sites didn&#8217;t start out that way.  The community of friends  was a case of serendipity.  Social Bookmarking didn&#8217;t start out as an internet traffic generating strategy. It started out as, well, an online book marker. But now it has become a powerful tool for generating internet traffic. But, you have to have good content and equally important, you have to have friends.</p>
<p>Social bookmarking sites were designed to help log, file, and catagorize favorite sites by &#8220;marking&#8221; them.  Otherwise how would we find them again. After a while we would have too many to remember. Then the practice of sharing your bookmarked favorites with your friends began and the rest is history.  Now if we really &#8220;dig&#8221; a website or an article online and want to share it with, say, the whole Digg community of friends we have there, we can.  And presto!  We&#8217;ve just added internet traffic to that site.</p>
<p>A word of caution, there&#8217;s a right way and a wrong way to get involved in social bookmarking.  The last thing to do, is to &#8220;share&#8221; an article of yours that you posted on, say on Squidoo, that has nothing but hype. Don&#8217;t bookmark anything for others to review if it is not quality content.  Even the search engines hate that.  And real people will take you off their friends list.</p>
<p>Also, be sure to promote content other than just your own.  That&#8217;s being sociable.  Being sociable online is the same as business networking meeting.  Pretend you are visiting at a fundraiser dinner or at the Chamber of Commerce meeting, sharing and getting to know real people.   Whether online or not, networks made up of real people tend to ignore those who are not socially acceptable.  Online, hype and ongoing self-promotion is considered spamming.</p>
<p>You can bookmark your own site and share your own articles but not exclusively. For example at Digg you can digg your own articles, your own blog, etc. creating a link to your content elsewhere on the Internet.  Asking your friends there to visit a recent blog article is fine.  Almost everyone who uses social bookmarking now uses it to generate internet traffic.  And high traffic to your content from a high traffic site like Digg and others will definitely get search engine attention.  It is a great way to help build your prospect list and ultimately it helps build your business.</p>
<p>Also, add all the bookmark widgets, the icons, to your websites.  Most social bookmarking sites have cute little icons that you can copy the code for in raw HTML and then put it on your websites.  That way, people can bookmark your work by clicking on the icon If they are a member of Digg, or Stumbleupon, etc.  When people do that, now you have an outgoing link from your site to a hgh traffic site.  We need both, incoming and outgoing links to high ranking sites, in order to show up on the front page of search engine sites like google.  Join bookmarking sites, socialize, bookmark sites including the work of others, and networking will build your business just like it always has.</p>

<p>When it comes to good website marketing strategies, you will soon learn that some are good and will gain you loyal customers while others are more problematic about what it is they offer to the normal consumer. Ethical link building is an important part of joining the visible web community and as with many endeavors, you&#8217;ll find that if done badly will effect your operation for the worst. When thinking about ethical link building, there are a few facts that it is important keep at the forefront of your mind.</p>
<p>The first thing to remember is what link building actually is. With search engines like Google becoming all the more popular as time goes on, the algorithms that are used by the searches are also growing more sophisticated. One of the things that search engines now use to rank their search results is the &#8220;popularity&#8221; of a website; this is determined by how many nonreciprocal links that website has leading to it. When you are thinking about using link building as a way to put yourself in the public eye, you will be taking advantage of a very powerful tool, but remember that there are pitfalls.</p>
<p>First, remember that the links leading to your site must be nonreciprocal. While exchanging links is a good way to target the audience of another site, keep in mind that this link will not help you raise your rankings in terms of search engine rankings. While these links won&#8217;t necessarily hurt you, neither are they helping you get the top slots in the search results.</p>
<p>Ethical link building can be a tricky thing. While it is possible to get hits through plastering your links all over the place, this is in fact a poor idea. People come to your site with certain expectations that you have built up, and if you fail to deliver, then they will just as easily leave again. Ethical link building helps you draw relevant customers to your site and you will find that when you deliver what you promised them, they will stay and browse. Using articles as &#8220;teasers&#8221; are one way to get a good link building campaign underway, but remember that the content on your site should be more inclusive and more detailed than what you put on the directories.</p>
<p>When it comes to ethical link building, there is a lot of material to keep in mind. The first if you want help, it is out there! There are plenty of professionals who are offering their expertise in this regard, and especially if you are new to website marketing, their help might be one of the best investments you make regarding your website. Essentially, there is no reason that you should have to stumble through learning the ropes of ethical link building, then there are plenty of people who are available and eager to show you the way.</p>
<p>This is an extremely important part of getting your search engine listing higher in the rankings, and as a matter of fact, good visibility can make or break your business. Make sure that you learn everything you can about this important concept.</p>

<p>Unethical marketing practices on social media websites has backfired&#8230;badly. As in all marketing situations, it pays to have integrity. While much of social networking is out of your hands, there are many factors that you can control that will keep you out of the hot seat.</p>
<p>The first thing that you must always keep in mind when you embark on a social network marketing campaign is that you are joining a community. As with any community, business has its rightful place, but it does not have the right to invade people&#8217;s privacy. In your face, non-targeted, spam marketing will get you nowhere in a hurry.</p>
<p>Most social network marketers use websites like FaceBook and MySpace to try to drive traffic to another website. While it&#8217;s perfectly ethical to use social networking websites to spread a message to people who are genuinely interested, many people game the system with auto-friend adding programs and spam messages and bulletins. Again, anything non-targeted and spammy will not help your reputation.</p>
<p>Thankfully, social networking websites are becoming wise to these practices and are effectively weeding out and banning offenders.</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, to use such websites as a marketing tool with integrity you need to participate as a member of the community. Get involved in groups that are related to your area, contribute, communicate and make friends that are genuinely interested in what you have to say and what you have to sell.</p>
<p>As you begin to publish more content on these websites, try to avoid direct marketing platitudes. For success, your content will need to be of genuine value and interest to other users. Also, never mislead potential clients. Don&#8217;t overdue your titles to try and lure clicks from visitors.</p>
<p>For example, instead of leaving a post on a blog pretending to be a consumer recommending your website or product, be up front about it. Explain that the product or website is yours and how it is relevant to the discussion. People will eventually see through dishonest marketing methods, even if they don&#8217;t right away. And one mistake could cost your reputation.</p>
<p>Also, when contributing in social networking websites, never use it as an opportunity to unfairly criticize competitors or their products. Don&#8217;t point out shortfalls. Point out what makes you different.</p>
<p>Since social network marketing can be seen as a form of publishing, be aware of online copyright issues. Read up on the basics of media law and know the potential dangers when it comes to defamation, invasion of privacy and intellectual property, and copyright infringement.</p>
<p>There are no hard and fast rules governing ethical behavior in social network marketing. Most communities are self regulated. So, be on your best behavior and you shouldn&#8217;t have any problems.</p>

<p>Social bookmarking sites are a plenty these days. The explosion of these sites had resulted to more and more webmasters using all means possible to make their site a raging success when it comes to search engine optimization. SEO is still the primary means to get traffic and sales for any business, website, or product.</p>
<p>Internet marketing newbies are advised to use social bookmarking sites to further promote their affiliate links, blog, or their personal website. These sites are very crucial in one&#8217;s performance in the search engine rankings. They offer yet another way to provide webmasters the means to distribute their links over the internet to generate the necessary traffic needed to further promote their site.</p>
<p>If you are an internet marketing newbie, you&#8217;ve got to adequately use social bookmarking sites. You have to specifically put the links under the posts of your blog so that your viewers would easily share their good finds with their friends, families, and colleagues. The popular social bookmarking sites today are furl, blink, and delicious.</p>
<p>To make use of the web 2.0 sites, all you really have to do is to sign up with them to get started. Right now, all social bookmarking sites are free to join. You don&#8217;t have to pay for anything to avail of their services. Unlike most web directories that charge a minimal fee for inclusion, these sites are simply the better alternative.</p>
<p>Once you have signed up with a social bookmarking site, you can immediately avail of the goodness it can provide for your site. First off, it would deliver your site better search engine ranking because the links are counted by the search engines towards your popularity. The more users tag your website, the better page rank you get.</p>
<p>Tagging a website means saving your URL in the user&#8217;s personal social bookmarking page. You can think of web 2.0 in the same way as social networking sites. You are also given a page of your own. And that page would include all the websites that you have tagged.</p>
<p>Social bookmarking sites work very much like active bookmarks and RSS all rolled into one. The format on your personal social bookmarks page follows the same format as an RSS reader. The only difference is that the websites you have saved are arranged according to category. And just like a reader, the links are all active and clickable for your convenience.</p>
<p>If you know how to bookmark a page in your browser for further use, then you should be familiar as to how these social bookmarking site works. One of its main purposes is to relieve your browser of carrying too much links that can be a little bit hard to organize after sometime. If you use social bookmarks rather than your regular browser bookmarks, then it would be easier for you to find the things you are looking for.</p>
<p>But more than those, social bookmarking sites makes it easier for your visitors to share what you have on your site to others. You must have encountered tell-a-friend or e-mail-a-friend links on different websites. Now, those scripts are rarely used. They are fast being replaced by social bookmark tags. This is because such bookmarks can easily be shared with others. In fact, it is very much viewable by other people. Sharing and emailing the interesting reads over the internet has never been easier.</p>
<p>As an internet marketer, you would benefit more from your visitors if you have the popular social bookmark tags at the foot of your post or at every page of your website. This would not only boost your website&#8217;s traffic but its ranking on the more popular search engines as well.</p>
<p>Sign up for an account under the commonly-used social bookmarking sites. Then get their links and put them into your site. You never knew when a new visitor would drop by and would like to be reminded of your site often. These are the visitors you need for your site because they are good prospects. You can make the most out of their visit by making sure the can come back anytime they want news about your product, service, or business.</p>

<p>Social bookmarking is a technique by which internet users store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the internet with the help of metadata.</p>
<p>In a social bookmarking system, internet users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These social bookmarks are generally public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. Only the allowed people can view these social bookmarks sequentially, by category or tags, or via a search engine.</p>
<p>In definite terms, social bookmarking is a user-defined taxonomy system for bookmarks. Such taxonomy is sometimes called a folksonomy and the bookmarks are referred to as tags. Unlike storing bookmarks in a folder on your computer, tagged pages are stored on the Web and can be accessed from any computer. It is often called as &#8220;The real-time Web, organized by you.&#8221; Web sites dedicated to social bookmarking, such as Flickr and del.icio.us, provide users with a place to store, categorize, annotate and share favorite Web pages and files.</p>
<p>How to use social bookmarking?</p>
<p>First decide which of the websites you would like to use for social bookmarking</p>
<p>Next go to the website and register yourself and then install the buttons on your toolbar</p>
<p>If you visit a Web page that you want to save, you click a &#8220;tag&#8221; button. A window pops up with the URL and page name and  optional fields for you to add notes and tags. (Tags are single-word descriptors &#8212; this is the way social bookmark systems categorize content so that you and other users can find it.)</p>
<p>Another button takes you directly to a page with your saved bookmarks and associated tags. If you click on one of the tags you created, you&#8217;ll be taken to a page listing your saved pages associated with that tag</p>
<p>You can also view all users&#8217; content associated with that tag or the most popular examples. The site inbox feature lets you subscribe to content saved with a specific tag or content saved by a specific user or a combination of the two</p>
<p>When you click a tag or search for a term on the website, the results include information about how many members have saved each item and any tags that they included for it.</p>
<p>Social bookmarking creates a true web of resources and connections&#8211;one that is not limited to individuals and their folders but represents the interests and judgments of a community of users.</p>
<p>The great advantages which social bookmarking offers are:</p>
<p>The entire tag-based categorization of internet resources (such as web sites) is done by humans, who understand the content of the resource</p>
<p>A social bookmarking system can grade a resource based on how many times it has been bookmarked by users (who find it useful, or amusing, or otherwise worthy of remembering and sharing).</p>
<p>Social bookmarking can be useful for users as a way to access a combined set of bookmarks from various computers, organize large numbers of bookmarks, and share bookmarks with friends and other contacts</p>
<p>Social bookmarking useful for libraries as an easier way to provide lists of informative links to patrons</p>
<p>Though social bookmarking offers many advantages, there are quite a few disadvantages as well.</p>
<p>Social bookmarking can also be vulnerable to corruption and conspiracy</p>
<p>In social bookmarking, there are no standard set of keywords, standard for the structure of such tags, wrong tagging due to spelling errors, tags that can have more than one meaning</p>
<p>Social bookmarking developers need to constantly adjust their security system to overcome abuses by the spammers.</p>
