Submitting To Social Bookmarking and Web 2.0 Sites

If you are not submitting your website to social bookmarking sites then, I’m sorry to say, you are not following the new trends of search engine optimization. Your web site’s SEO is incomplete without social bookmarking. Did you ever try to figure why links from social sites has become so crucial ? Or why search engines especially Google take link backs from the Social Bookmarking and Social Networking pretty seriously ?

The answer is obvious. But before I come to that I would like to reveal a “secret”. Social bookmarking or submitting to social networking sites works beyond expectations when other members make your submission favorite or post comments on the story or topic you submit. Not that simply submitting to these Web 2.0 sites doesn’t work but it works even better when you get favors from fellow members. Unfortunately it’s hard to get because nobody will actually going to notice your story and eventually it will get lost amongst thousands of sites submitted everyday. The trick is simple – you have to arrange for it. There are groups where members favor each others submission, post comments to each others stories.

Google and the other major search engines always reward a website with good content with higher positions in their search results forone or more keywords. But how do they know if the content is goodor bad ? Yes, they have some complex algorithms which do the work for them but more than that they depend on back links count. The idea is simple if your site is not good enough you aren’t going to get a lot of back links. Directory submission and Article submissions are manually approved by humans and ensure that the site has some  sort of credibility (otherwise it wouldn’t have been approved). Social bookmarking or submitting to social networking sites let users of those sites judge your website and they either like them or dislike them. If they like your content they will rate it high or vote it which will make Google believe that your site is of good quality. This is a simple overview of how Google judge your website; rest assure that there are several other criteria. But as long as you have good content and continue to build backlinks there’s no reason why you shouldn’t do well.
