Improve Seo using Social Bookmarking Sites
21 Sep
Posted by: admin in: Blogging, Social Bookmarking, news
When a page reaches some top social bookmarking sites, the position of in SERP(Search Engine Results Page) and the page rank are improved only for a limited time period. When the page disappears from the bookmarking sites, the position in SERP tend to come back to the old position and rank.
The benefits can not be ignored:
- The improvement even for a limited amount of time will add new visitors to your site, boosting the income for a few days.
- Some visitors might bookmark the site in some other social bookmarking sites or they can add incoming links to your page.
- The search engines will detect new content and will index it faster.
There are many people adding their new content in social bookmarking for those reasons. This might be a good technique, because most of the users are willing to give you their vote, but are to lazy to add a page on their favorite social bookmarking site.
There are websites which can be used to mass-add pages to Social Bookmarking Sites. You can use one of those:
- socialposter.com - can be used to easily submit pages to up to 160 social and bookmark sites
- socialmarker.com - similar to socialposter it is updated with a list containing most of the search engines.
Personally, I’m not using those websites, but I intend to do it, only for the posts that look extremely interesting and viral.
A few updates after I published this post, from Chris Lang through the first comment(scroll down and read it). I’m not sure about that information, but I’ll think again before using social bookmarking submitter software :).

22|Sep|2008 1Don’t use social bookmarking submitter software. It leaves a signature that Google can see. I expect the social bookmarking slapdown to be the Christmas crunch that Google brings on each year.
Every year before Christmas, usually the in the Q3 PageRank update, Google will change the algo to drop sites that have been using a certain type of manipulation to get higher rankings.
This year I predict it will be against sites using social bookmarking and submission software to rise in Google. Don’t take the chance, it could mean you Google rankings for the coming Christmas season.
Not to mention Digg is in the middle of cleaning house and banning anyone who uses scripts against Digg. If you use Digg you will have heard of Zaibatsu (#3) and DiggBoss who both just got banned. Although Zaibutsu had nothing to do with scripts.

22|Sep|2008 2Thanks for sharing this, how google will detect that certain links were submitted using social bookmarking submitter software? I don’t think it will be a big problem if you’re not going to do it for all your pages of your site…

30|Nov|2008 4Just ran across my own comment in Google, LOL. Yeah, it is here, I was just starting on a client’s site and got slapped myself. It all came on Friday, or it is a Google algo tweak / update.
We shall see….

30|Nov|2008 5Since I see you were so cool as to update and link to me, I am back to elaborate.
First of all Propeller and Mixx no longer pass on any link juice to the original blog post. Mixx restructured the site and Propeller now uses a server side redirect to original content.
Next, that leaves Digg as the only site that has both the traffic, high end users and links structure that passes link juice directly.
The problem here is that Google has a new way of looking at a Digg post and who Diggs it before they decide to see the Digg story as a indicator of quality.
On top of it, Google just went crazy on Friday and it looks to me like the Google slap is here.
One of two things has happened:
Google has totally devalued Digg as an indicator.
Or they have made the positive indicators very steep. I had the perfect links to a brand now client site and I still got slapped down.
But before you slit your Digging little wrists let me say the site had no links worth crap, I was still working on those.
Just sit tight and get through Christmas and we will know by early January. Good luck and Happy Holidays.

27|Dec|2008 6I’ve been using AddThis and SocialMarker for about a month to list new content on several of my sites. I attract a lot of visitors to my sites by advertising new content this way. But reading the above comments, I’m getting a bit worried whether I might be better to remove the buttons unless Google will determine the difference between me submitting my own sites and visitors clicking social bookmarking buttons on my sites.
Still, the market is very competitive for my main site so I’m not too worried about Google PR as long as I can continue to advertise new content on social bookmarking sites.
Nice article.
