Social Bookmarking is a relatively new method of promoting your website. If you are not familiar with the name, Social Bookmarking websites allows users to publicly store, organise, share and search bookmarks of web pages with others.

The types of websites are a good way of building up a few back links to your website and the internal pages – which are often overlooked in many SEO campaigns.

Other Social Bookmarking websites encourage users to post links to stories which they have browsed which they find interesting and what others may do as well. These types of websites can not only increase your traffic by a considerable amount, but can also help you build up the number of links to your website.

For example if somebody likes what you have posted on the website, they may well decide to “Blog” about it – these types of links can prove to be very beneficial in your quest to rise in the rankings for your chosen keyphrases.

The Big Blue Tomato team have a great amount of experience with Social Bookmarking and know what types of stories or content are suitable for the different websites. Some of the Social Bookmarking websites don’t take kindly to certain types of submissions, which can result in your URL being blacklisted – meaning that you won’t be able to submit to them in the future, no matter how mouth watering your content is!
