Thousands of people have put social bookmarking to powerful use for off-page optimization plus various marketing strategies. There appears to be no let-up with their popularity, especially for off-page SEO purposes. Yet the wiser IM businesses will use particular bookmark sites as they are meant to be used which is also a method for continued growth and development. So it all just is dependent upon what you want to do in your business. Yes, bookmarks can be stored in your account at bookmarking sites, although they have become social centers for lots of people. Plus you can tag your bookmarks with your particular search phrases which can help with some SEO but it tends to be temporary.

Google took a great deal of the power out of high PR bookmarking sites when it appeared they (perhaps) let the various sites know that their dofollow link attributes were causing issues. The more well-known bookmarking websites had the ability to just kill the search results for their bookmarks. Naturally, I make conjecture about any impact Google had with those changing their links to nofollow. It does make for interesting speculation but not terribly important at this point.

But you can gain exposure when you take a more responsible approach to making use of social bookmarking sites. What can result in issues with so many profiles for backlinking is those profiles are not well written or anything resembling high quality. There are a few more strategically minded marketers who take the time and create high quality profiles. Profiles that have looks of being legitimate will do a better job for you and have a great chance of passing a review. Additionally, when you do this you are contributing something to the site, and you can keep high quality bookmark profiles for years.

Furthermore, a good profile with solid content is often used for RSS feed creation which is fantastic. That means you'll be able to post those feeds to RSS directories, plus they are able to get indexed. Then what you will do is work in your links and other related content. Just make certain you provide exceptional content in your feeds and avoid being spammy with the links in them.

Just take a 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. It is not needed to spend time building relationships and becoming known, but it doesn't have to be totally time consuming.

Ultimately, how you approach using bookmarking sites in your own business is your call. The truth is a lot of IM marketers do not want to spend time with long-term strategic approaches. Perhaps you can try it at just one strong bookmarking site and see how you prefer the results.
