Social media marketing is just growing these days & everyone would like to take participate in this. We can divide it in two parts like a. Social Networking (Facebook, Twitter etc.) b. Social Bookmarking (Digg, Mixx etc.). Here I would like to talk about social bookmarking sites & how can we use these sites in our link building strategy. If you are already doing social bookmarking for your website then you can add your valuable comments here.
I am an active social media user & like others I am also promoting my website through various famous bookmarking websites like digg, stumbleupon, sphinn, reddit & Mixx etc. I was just simply submitting my blog to these sites to derive some traffic. I spend some time on these websites on daily basis just to get some votes for my stories. Most of us know social bookmarking is a good way for fast indexing, targeted traffic & one way links, have you experienced this? (If not then contact us for more details) Earlier I was just spending 1 hr to these websites but when I realized the power of these sites I just increased my time from 1 hr – 3 hr. It requires lots of time & efforts but I work on this in my free time (coffee breaks, once I finish my daily task). Yes, It require some hard work to became famous on social bookmarking websites (You can contact us for more details about social bookmarking websites for your business). Believe me there is lots of difference between an active social media user & normal user.
There are lots of benefits you can get from social bookmarking like Targeted Traffic, content distribution, one way links, blog subscribers & leads etc. Here I would like to talk about how social bookmarking helps in Linkbuilding (You can contact us for free consulting about how social bookmarking can help you for your website or blog). If you are really interested in social bookmarking activities then you should spend some time on your niche targeted bookmarking websites. If you are not active then you can’t get front page on these websites. Mixx helps us a lot in linkbuilding when our article hit the mixx front page. Please find below the images for your reference.

Backlinks from Digg & Mixx
This story hits the digg & mixx front page & I got (86 backlinks) around 15 links from these two websites. I know it’s not easy to hit the digg front page but we can work on Mixx to get backlinks from Mixx front page. People start adding your popular post on their blog & then you will start getting one-way links on a weekly basis.
I was not sure about that getting links from same website can be beneficial for my website or not so I had a discussion on digitalpoint forum & blackhatseo forum. You can easily check the comments from others as well.
It shows when your story hit the mixx front page then you can get 5-15 backlinks from mixx only. If you are submitting 10 articles in a month & got front page with 6 then you can easily get good no of backlinks for your website. Isn’t it good?
If you can’t submit your website or blog then contact us we can help you to make popular your stories on bookmarking websites.
