How Does Social Bookmarking Help Build Backlinks?
I’ve never tried this process of link building. I usually do forum posts, blog comments, article marketing, blogging, doorway pages, member profiles, and web directories.
I guess I just don’t know what it is! I don’t really understand how the system works. Does digg.com put up a link to your site or something? I’m confused at how this system helps me build backlinks.
Unfortunately, big social sites like Yahoo Answers Digg Facebook and others tag any posted link as ‘nofollow’ – so it actually has zero impact in terms of SEO back linking. However, a link is a link, and is always good to post one. The more people walk to your link, the more visitors you will have to your site.
I’d like to know this too. In my own limited experience, I find you still need to network at the networking sites; this means you find friends, participate in forums, and take an active part in your presence there.
This means you have to add links to your blog/site, while also adding your site to your profile.
A good site for blogging marketing is http://www.problogger.net
The author there suggests it takes time to build up hits. I’m still trying to figure out how to do this, but my numbers went from 2-3 to 50+ per day.
Sounds like you’re already doing some back linking! It’s just exactly what it sounds like – a link back to the original item. So if you digg or stumble an article, that creates a link back to the article. People can now find your article by clicking someplace rather than coming to you directly. The more of these and the better the source of them, the better for you.
