How to Get Backlinks Using Social Bookmarking Sites

Social bookmarking sites such as Digg.com, StumbleUpon.com, Delicious and Sphinn.com allow marketers or site owners, like you, to place bookmarks of your favorite sites on them, including your own sites, and it's all free. They've been known as one of the fastest ways to get a blog post ranked on the first pages of the top search engines, including Google. Imagine, with social bookmarking sites, you'll get backlinks to your website easily and have your site sitting on the first page of Google within just a few hours or so.

Basically, here's what's required of you: you sign up with your email and desired user name. Once you've signed up, you'll have an email sent to you (to the email address you provided) requesting that you verify that the information you provided is correct. Click on the link provided in the email, and you're ready to go. Remember, though, you'll have to do this for all of the major bookmarking sites to get numerous backlinks pointing to your website.

By now you should have signed up with many different bookmarking sites and are ready to get going. If your site is a Wordpress blog or similar, install a social bookmarking plugin like ShareIt or OnlyWire's Auto Posting Plugin. I recommend the latter as this will automatically post your new blog posts to the major social bookmarking sites for you.

If using the ShareIt plugin, go to your site and choose a post you want to get backlinks to. You should see a button or link that says "Share It" at the end of the post, click on it and you'll see a list of all the social bookmarking sites available. Then, visit each one and post a short sentence describing your post. Remember to insert your keywords and website URL so as to get the backlinks you're working for. Click the submit button once you feel happy enough about it, and you should get the backlinks pointing back to your website almost immediately.

If your site isn't a blog, you can still use this method to get backlinks, except that you'll find it more tedious. This means you'll either have to use social bookmarking software or use a site like socialmarker.com. Regardless, whether you choose to use this or the plugins described earlier, you can still rank high on the first pages of search engines building backlinks via social bookmarking.

Get Backlinks from high PR sites without social bookmarking or any of the other usual tedious tasks. For more internet marketing tips and resources, visit Alan Mater's Work From Home Resources blog.
