How To Leverage Web 2.0 To Get Top Rankings
By Brian Armstrong | November 12th, 2008Search engine strategies and getting traffic to your website can greatly be enhanced by using websites like socialmarker.com. This is a website that will save you a lot of time on getting links back to your website. These links help getting traffic as well as will help you get search engine rankings.
The first thing to do is to compose your article, your blog post, or your web page. You can use any number of free websites to create your content. This is the first thing that needs to happen before you’ll get the benefits of social networking for your site specifically. You can always start with other people’s websites or web pages, but typically you’ll get the most benefit by doing some of both.
You’ll need to setup new accounts because you most likely haven’t done this before. Start at socialmarker.com and get the new accounts setup by the recommendations they make there. These sites are typically very well respected with a high authority as it relates to how they’re judged by the search engines.
The title should have your main keyword phrase and the title of your blog post or article. These may match some of the time, or most of the time, but when you don’t have the keyword, add it unless it makes the keyword too long.
The description is another part of using socialmarker.com. Use this description as a strong call to action to get people to your website. You obviously don’t want to deceive people into visiting by promising them something that isn’t there, but make sure that in the description, you give a compelling reason for people to want to read more or find out more information.
The URL is your web address of the page you’re bookmarking. Do NOT use only the domain name. Make sure you are using the actual web address of the specific page you’re trying to get bookmarked. If you don’t do this, you’ll get errors on several of the sites complaining that you’ve already or someone has already bookmarked that domain or that main page.
Tags are also important because they are what you’ll use to get the individual “tag” pages ranked. These tag pages, especially using the long tail keywords or keyword phrases with little competition. This means that you can leverage the search engines to the point where you get not only your blog post ranked, but possibly several of your individual bookmark pages ranked including the tag pages.
These social bookmarking sites are a great way to get relevant links back to your sites and depending on which ones you use will have a very high “authority” in the eyes of the search engines. These sites can also help you generate a significant amount of traffic all by themselves. The majority of these sites also allow you to create profiles in which you can usually add links to whatever site you want to as well which will also help with the search engines and your overall traffic strategy.
