Social Bookmarking Increases Traffic

What is social bookmarking and what can it do for you. Social bookmarking is a way of earmarking or recommending articles, videos, and sites of interests. In the past these bookmarking tools were merely a way of logging previously visited sites and having them in one central place for easy retrieval. This is still a valid use for the bookmarking tools available but with the advent of bookmarking sites and users networking through these interactive platforms what has resulted is a very advantageous fringe benefit.

The pages that get bookmarked are more likely to receive better page ranking. This is a very beneficial strategy if used correctly and responsibly. In technical terms each time a page is bookmarked that is essentially another backlink to that page, which is the foundation of page ranking and search engine optimazation (SEO) in the first place. In plain English, this means more page views and higher page ranking (sometimes the top rank) in the search engines.

So how does this afffect you? Well, again if used with responsibility you can draw favorable attention in the way of traffic to your website or blog. If misused you will just be seen as another spammer using any and every trick available to gain ranking. When others within one of these bookmarking networks take note the results can be viral.

There are many bookmarking sites to choose from and each of them have their own nuances, but the fundamentals are the same. When bookmarking something of your own just make sure it offers value to those who may see it and that you tag, title, and describe your items accurately. You never want to try and trick the system or misrepresent what you are bookmarking just to try to get traffic.

There is even a site that you can mass bookmark from one site. This saves you a lot of time once you set it up, as you don't have to spend valuable time logging in to each site and reentering similar information over and over. Bookmarking is just one of the valuable and helpful strategies available through the Quick Video Marketing internet training course.
