Social bookmarks, used to discover, save and share articles or posts, are an efficient way to promote your business. Search engines rank social bookmarking sites very high because of their constantly updated content, making them an effective search engine optimization tool. As a result, users will be able to find your posted content more often.
As you begin to review your online content to see which articles or posts should be bookmarked, here are some things to remember:
1. Don’t bookmark everything you publish
Not everything you write will be Internet gold, that’s just the way it is. Instead of publishing everything you post, submit the best items of the week. Avoid inundating people with everything by giving them the best of what you do.
2. Know your audience
Not every place will be right for your blog or website. Our blog, chatter, would not thrive on Reddit because that’s not our target audience. For that reason, we won’t go out of our way to make sure that everyone on Reddit knows who we are and what we do. Sorry Reddit, it’s not that we don’t love you, we just know you would bury chatter.
3. Participate, just don’t publish
Have you ever had a friend who talks about themselves constantly? Every time you get together you’re bombarded with tales of their job, their relationships, their problems, their car and their cat. Nobody wants to be around this person and the same rules apply to online social groups. Participate with them. Share sites other than your own. Bookmark interesting articles. You become valuable to the community when you are active. The more valuable you are to the community, the more likely they are to take what you say to heart.
4. Target high-traffic sites
Publishing on a site that nobody will see is not beneficial. Take some time and do your research. Alexa has very good rankings of top websites by country, category and overall. Review those lists to know where blog or site should appear. Facebook, for instance, ranked number two globally. What are you doing to leverage valuable social media tools?
To reach your audience and to have them share your content with others, remember that you must be proactive with social bookmarking. You cannot wait for people to find your content. You have to do the grunt work and get your hands dirty.
Above all, avoid the biggest mistake: Wildly posting content with reckless abandon.
