If you are all set and looking out to use Social Bookmarking for the promotion of your site, you need to know the best use of this tool and the standard social bookmarking mistakes that should be avoided at all cost. Here, in this article, I will be discussing some of the top mistakes that people commit when carrying out the social bookmarking campaign. Have a look at these errors and try to avoid them.
Social Bookmarking Mistakes
1. Right title matters the most
A number of times, the webmasters select SEO companies to carry out social bookmarking for their site. And so in case the webmasters choose the SEO service providers that are not so professional or experienced, they face dire consequences. The biggest mistake that the unprofessional submitters commit is of adding in irrelevant titles when doing the social bookmarking submissions. So, it is better to hire the SEO service providers who are experienced and skilled in creating and submitting only the search engine friendly titles.
2. Do not choose irrelevant keywords
Tags and keywords are which help you to get your website noticed on social bookmarking sites. So, if you wish to ensure that your site gets due attention, select the tags and keywords that are related to your site. Also, do not use the general keywords that others may also use. This will help a great deal in the detracting from the visibility of your website.
3. Never spam
It is recommended that you do not spam the sites. When you try to create or build the link power through social bookmarking, do not sell products in the messages. Placing the promotional or marketing messages in the sites is surely a big mistake and may ruin the reputation of your site and brand. So, you need to be cautious.
4. Use different pages of your site for bookmarking
A common mistake that is committed by most people is of bookmaking the mail page URL if their sites only. This needs to be avoided at all costs and try to bookmark other or inner pages of your site as well. This will make your social bookmarking campaign more efficient and useful.
5. Do not bookmark the pages having low-quality content
You may be having a page on your website that shows pictures and prices of the products. When it comes to social bookmarking, such a page is considered to be the no or low-quality page. You need to remember that people who look for the sites through social bookmarking platform want to get the sites that are pertinent to what they want. So, in case you add the no or low-quality content URL, people will not find any worth in your pages. This way, you may leave a negative impression on the people.
6. Do not use any software
It is advisable that you do not use any software or submission tool for the bookmarking. Not automating the process is very crucial and useful. Making all bookmarks manually surely makes the whole process search engine friendly and easy. This way, your bookmarks will not even face any approval problems.
7. Choose relevant category
If you have to choose the category while submitting the bookmarks, it is imperative that you select the right and most appropriate one. Also, do not make submissions on a random basis as when you select the right category, you will be able to get maximum possible benefits from the presentation. So, this way, when others see your social bookmarks in the sites that are not linked to your site, they may get frustrated and may not trust your brand/business.
Last but not least, social bookmarking is the useful option available to draw in the visitors to a site. The surfers that bookmark your site tend to be showing some interest in your site’s page and its content. You thus have the chance to present your stuff behind them and convert them into real time customers. Clearly understand the common mistakes mentioned above and avoid them at all costs to have an effective, useful and beneficial social bookmarking campaign.
