Social Bookmarking Tips For Your Denver Real Estate Agent Website

As you most likely know, social bookmarking as a marketing and backlinking strategy has been around for a few years. There seems to be no let-up with their popularity, especially for off-page SEO purposes. Yet the smarter IM businesses will use certain bookmark sites as they are intended to be used which is also a method for continued growth and development. On the other hand we do realize we are all different, and some people prefer certain methods over others. If you have not been around IM much, then a bookmarking site is simply just a site where you can place bookmarks online. Several bookmarking sites have more SEO power than others that has an impact when you use bookmarking tags.

A couple of years, or more, ago social bookmark sites were ranking very highly in the Google results, and so those sites changed the link attribute from dofollow to nofollow – blame Google. Places like Technorati and Digg, plus a few others, were able to rule the first pages of SERPS in Google due to their high PR status. No, I do not have any secret information about the real reason those sites modified to nofollow. But I would not be surprised if that took place.

Social Bookmarking can help your Denver real estate agent website with it’s ranking.

But you can achieve exposure when you take a more conscientious approach to making use of social bookmarking sites. What can result in issues with so many profiles for backlinking is those profiles are not properly written or anything similar to high quality. However, I am aware of people who do take a couple more minutes creating their profiles. They have found that the more ‘full bodied’ profiles do not get removed and have a longer shelf life. Additionally, when you do this you are contributing something to the site, and you can keep higher quality bookmark profiles for years.

Additionally, a good profile with solid content is often used for RSS feed creation which is great. You can promote your RSS feed at other places and RSS directories. You may include your various links plus precise content in your feeds, too. However, you do not want to irritate any feed subscribers by including too many links through the content.

Just look at your feeds, and you will know when you are going too far with promotional links, etc. Another important aspect is to take time and build relationships at these bookmark sites. You can have a few minutes every day to distribute your good will at these sites, and that won’t take very long plus it is a good investment decision.

In the end, how you approach using bookmarking sites in your own business is your call. We all possibly realize most marketers only desire the off page SEO value with bookmarking sites, and that is cool. However, there really is power in that strategy based on the feedback we hear from those who use it.
