			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>The New Age of Search: Social Bookmarking Part 1</b> Computers,Internet,Self Improvement This article will be in two parts because Social Bookmarking affects two totally separate and distinct groups of people. They are of course internet users or surfers on one hand and then on the other there are webmasters and blog owners. In Part One, we will focus on the users and surfers.
<p> For all intents and purposes, Social Bookmarking sites are not that much different to Search Engines, but they offer users so much more than the traditional Search Engine site. </p>
<p> To demonstrate the differences, let&#8217;s talk about Google for example as a search engine and how it works compared to Social Bookmarking site such as Furl or Delicious. I don&#8217;t have any intention of getting into all of the technicalities here, but more of an overview to demonstrate the benefits of Social Bookmarking to users. </p>
<p> With Google, a web site owner purchases a domain, writes a site (let&#8217;s say it&#8217;s about dog training for the purpose of this example), buys some hosting and puts the site live online. They may or may not choose to submit the site name to Google, but one way or another Google will eventually find the site sitting on the web. Google will then analyse the coding of the site, the keywords used (dog training) and their density in the text and headings, the titles and descriptions for the site and through the awesome power of their secret algorithm place the page somewhere in their index. And guess what? This is all done by a computer that has no regard for the aesthetics of the site, the richness of design or the quality of the graphics used. Quite simply, to some extent it could well be another machine generated site out to make a quick buck with Adsense ads. </p>
<p> Social Bookmarking sites on the other hand provide a refreshing change for user oriented search. If you haven&#8217;t seen a Social Bookmarking site, go to one of the most popular sites Delicious. (You can&#8217;t put links in articles, so search it on Google.) To detail all of the available features at these sites is well beyond the scope of this article. It would require a small ebook. The most important thing to note however is that if you search sites by popularity, this means that they are ranked by the number of users that have them bookmarked and not by some machine. This is people power in action. Real human beings have viewed these sites and considered them good enough to add to their own personal bookmarks. </p>
<p> Another very popular site is Furl and for blogs, well you just can&#8217;t beat Technorati. </p>
<p> You can perform searches on these sites in the same way you would perform a search on Google, but you can have sites ranked by most recent, popularity and tags.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social bookmarks are a way for internet users to store, organize, search, share and manage web pages on the internet that they find of interest. They replace the traditional method of browser-based system of folders by encouraging users to organize their bookmarks with tags. Social bookmarking means storing your bookmarks online, tagging them, and sharing them online with other users. Users from all over the world bookmark sites or specific pages using their favorite social bookmarks. They can search through their bookmarks by keywords or by tags, and can access their bookmarks from any internet connection. Almost all social bookmark sites have the same basic features like browser bookmarklets for one-click link saving, RSS feeds, tags and sharing capabilities.</p>
<p>In a bookmarking system, users save links to web pages they want to remember or share by the use of RSS feeds. These bookmarks can then be organized into a list of tags that describe what the site is about. People are always searching for information, and search is probably the most important application on the web for surfers to find what they are looking for. Search engines give more relevancy to sites that have been recently modified or have added new content. This is where social bookmarks are one step ahead, notifying users when a site has been updated through the use of the RSS feeds. Instead of going into a search engine, typing something in, you can quickly narrow down the items to what you are looking for by searching the tags. You can even search through what other people have bookmarked as long as they remain public. So, what started out as a way to send bookmarks to friends has really grown into social search engines.</p>
<p>Social bookmark sites allow others to see your bookmarks and comment about them, creating interactivity among bookmark users. Social bookmarking is all about the collective voice and the power of the people. As these services have matured and grown more popular, they have added extra features such as ratings and comments on bookmarks, the ability to import and export bookmarks from browsers, emailing of bookmarks, web annotation, and groups or other social network features. A social bookmarking system can rank a resource, or website, based on how many times it has been bookmarked by users, whereas conventional search engines rank resources based on the number of external links pointing to it.</p>
<p>Social technologies are here to stay, and are already growing in popularity. Social bookmarks continue to be one of the driving forces of this evolving web. It is all about labeling the web, making it easier to find the content that you&#8217;re looking for by passing on what you&#8217;ve found. For users, social bookmark sites can be useful as a way to access a consolidated set of bookmarks from various computers, organize large numbers of bookmarks, and share bookmarks with contacts. Social bookmarking can allow you to share the sites that you own to others with relevant tastes, driving traffic to your site, and creating valuable backlinks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What if I told you there is a way to get traffic to your site &#8211; without building one way links to your site &#8211; without submitting articles to directories &#8211; without submitting to directories &#8211; without using pay per click &#8211; without search engine optimization &#8211; without relying on the big bad search engines?</p>
<p>In fact, this powerful new technique has a short learning curve and can send visitors to your site almost instantly!</p>
<p>No this isn&#8217;t a myth or some fantasy, but an exciting new way of driving traffic to your Website called &#8220;Social Bookmarking&#8221;</p>
<p>WHAT IS SOCIAL BOOKMARKING?</p>
<p>To put it simply, social bookmarking is a collection of Websites indexed by humans. Unlike the search engines which rely on complicated algorithms to index relevant Websites for each topic, each site has been &#8220;bookmarked&#8221; by a human who found it interesting or helpful.</p>
<p>Today there are hundreds, if not thousands of these bookmarking services available. Which means more opportunities for you to get your Website noticed! To better understand this whole concept, take a moment to visit Del.icio.us &#8211; del.icio.us one of the most popular social bookmarking communities online.</p>
<p>HOW IT WORKS</p>
<p>A visitor will sign up for a new account, then start to bookmark his or her favorite sites by using &#8220;tags&#8221; (think of them like keywords). For example, if someone finds your site on muscle cars and finds it useful, they will then bookmark it on Del.icio.us using the tags &#8220;classic cars, street rods, hot rods&#8221; etc.</p>
<p>The more people who bookmark your site on each social bookmarking site, the higher your site will climb in the rankings for that particular service. If you visit Del.icio.us and do a search on &#8220;gardening&#8221;, you will see that the top ranked sites have been bookmarked the most.</p>
<p>This in a nutshell is the basics of social bookmarking.</p>
<p>HOW TO GENERATE TRAFFIC THROUGH SOCIAL BOOKMARKING</p>
<p>The beauty of social bookmarking is that there are several ways to generate traffic to your Website, both directly and indirectly. The goal is to get as many people as possible to bookmark your Website and content pages. Savvy marketers are now placing simple but effective bookmarking scripts on their Websites to boost their rankings. These scripts allow their visitor to automatically bookmark their sites with the most popular services.</p>
<p>You can get two of the best scripts here:</p>
<p>Social Bookmarks Creator Script &#8211; toprankblog.com/tools/social-bookmarks</p>
<p>For WordPress: Bookmark Me Script -.semiologic.com/software/widgets/bookmark-me</p>
<p>Remember, the more people who bookmark your site, the higher you will climb in their search rankings.</p>
<p>BOOOKMARKING YOUR WEBSITES</p>
<p>You should also create accounts at several of the more popular social bookmarking sites and bookmark your Websites as well.</p>
<p>Anytime you add a new page that people will find interesting or useful, you should bookmark that as well.</p>
<p>Be sure not to spam these sites, and use appropriate tags. People will not bookmark garbage sites, and you could very well get banned from using these services. One way to bookmark your sites quickly and easily is to use Onlywire.com OnlyWire.com will submit all of your new bookmarks to many of the popular services automatically, and best of all it&#8217;s free!</p>
<p>If you are using WordPress and want a hands free script that will automatically bookmark each post you make, we suggest buying this script: Auto Social Poster We use it on all of our WordPress blogs and love it!</p>
<p>HOW YOU WILL GENERATE SEARCH ENGINE TRAFFIC FROM GOOGLE AND YAHOO!</p>
<p>Some of the most popular bookmarking sites like Del.icio.us rank extremely high in the search engines.</p>
<p>This means that while you may not rank high for a certain keyword in Google or Yahoo!, you may rank high on one of the popular bookmarking services.</p>
<p>So a user searching on Google for &#8220;wedding dresses&#8221; may click on the search result displayed from Del.icio.us and then find your Website on how to pick out a wedding dress.</p>
<p>Do you see how powerful this is? It is yet another byproduct of social bookmarking.</p>
<p>GETTING BACKLINKS</p>
<p>Another major advantage of getting your Website listed on the social bookmark sites is one way links from high PR sites. Because these social bookmarking sites have fresh, updated content on a daily basis, many of them rank high in the search engines.</p>
<p>As you know (or should know) getting one way links back to your Website is the number one most important aspect to achieving high rankings in the search engines. Now that you know exactly how to incorporate social bookmarking into your marketing plan, you have no excuse not to start today. Get out there and take action now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social bookmarking is here to stay. As long as people want to share their favorite links with other people, bookmarking sites will continue to stay in the business. And now with search engines keeping a tab on them, they have become indispensable SEO tools.<br />
Publishers of all kinds of websites benefit from social bookmarking: you can introduce the sites of your own or the sites you like to people of similar tastes and interests, thereby driving traffic and getting backlinks.<br />
While some social bookmarking sites like Propeller.com give Do Follow links, some others use the No Follow attribute. But the use of No Follow shouldn&#8217;t discourage a webmaster trying to rank high in search engines. After all search results are determined by several factors with link popularity being just one of them. The user generated descriptions, tags, titles and categorization also play a very significant role in determining a site&#8217;s rank in search engines. As you probably know when you add a webpage to a social bookmarking site, you give it a description and specify some tags and categories. These user generated tags and descriptions are considered honest and unbiased because they are created by the public. And because of this reason search engines put too much value on them.<br />
Why does Google monitor bookmarking sites?<br />
Monitoring social bookmarking sites like Del-icio.us and Stumble Upon help search engines in many ways. As many bookmarking sites allow voting, search engines can measure the quality of sites by monitoring bookmarks. The sites that get the highest number of votes in a particular category will naturally be the best sites in that category. Since search engines are trying hard to see which websites are actually the most useful, they have started relying very much upon bookmarks. Furthermore, through social bookmarking search engines can very often discover new sites or web pages.<br />
It is true to get the best results your site needs to be bookmarked by multiple users across multiple social bookmarking sites. But that doesn&#8217;t mean that you have no role to play. You still need to give your site some exposure on these sites by being the first to bookmark them. Unless users get to see your site, how will they bookmark it? This is particularly true of new sites that haven&#8217;t started getting many visitors. There is also another advantage to being the first person to bookmark your site &#8211; you will be able to give search engine optimized keywords as tags. As long as these tags are appropriate other users will not bother to change them.<br />
Now that you have discovered what social bookmarking can do to your site, you will definitely want to give it try. Most people want to but many are unable to do it because they are short on time. If you are one among them you will be glad to hear that automated bookmarking tools are available. They don&#8217;t cost much and in most cases your gain in terms of increased traffic and higher search rankings will be considerably higher than the initial investment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Until a few years ago, if we wanted to share our favorite links with our friends we used to email them. We still email our favorite links. But with the advent of social bookmarking sites, we can share our links in more ways than one.</p>
<p><strong>How does Social Bookmarking Sites work?</strong><br />
Social bookmarking sites allow users to submit their favorite links. Other users who come across these links are allowed to give a positive or negative vote. For instance, on Stumble Upon you give a Thumps Up to the pages you like. The websites that get a large number of positive votes within a particular category will be promoted to the front page for that category on the social bookmarking site. Needless to say, these pages will see a sudden influx of traffic. For instance, being on the front page of Digg for a popular category will send in enough traffic to crash your server in an hour or two. Other bookmarking sites like Stumble Upon send visitors over a period of time.</p>
<p><strong>Social bookmarking to drive traffic to your site</strong><br />
Social bookmarking sites receive numerous links everyday. So you get only a few hours to stay on the front pages. You should be able to get maximum bookmarks or votes during those few hours if you want to build traffic. Here are some submission tricks used by experts.</p>
<p>Different social bookmarking sites allow different ways for users to categorize and search their existing bookmarks. There will usually be some established categories. If your web page does not belong to that category you are allowed to add another tag or label to it. The tag can be a keyword or key phrase that best describes your site. It is through these tags that people find your site. So choosing the right tag is extremely crucial. Tags instantly recognized by your target group will encourage more people to follow the link. By choosing the right tag you will also improve your chances of getting bookmarked by other users. An inappropriate tag, on the other hand, will attract negative votes. The more bookmarks or votes you receive, the more visitors you get. Choose a specific category. As far as possible avoid submitting to categories like &#8216;miscellaneous&#8217;. They fill up very fast leaving you little time to get noticed.</p>
<p>Timing is equally important. You have barely 24 hours to stay on the front page before you get pushed by incoming URLs. You need to make the most of this period. So don&#8217;t submit your link during the time most of your target audience will be sleeping.</p>
<p>Submit pages with interesting content. No one will bookmark your website if it contains just affiliate links with no original content.</p>
<p>Use an automated submission tool if you have a huge website with many pages. A good submission tool will save you both time and money which can be spent in building a site with interesting content.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of webmasters now turn to social bookmarking to increase traffic to their websites. Are they really helpful in driving traffic to your site? Well, they are. Otherwise they wouldnt enjoy such great fan-following among webmasters.</p>
<p>Look at the current market scenario. Social bookmarking sites are flooding the market. Initially there were only a few of them. But over the years new and improved social bookmarking sites arrived and now almost all of them enjoy good popularity. It is virtually impossible to scroll through a web page without seeing one or more of social bookmarking icons. Each social bookmarking site has a different selling point, but they all serve the same purpose. They let users save their favorite web pages and then share them with everyone else in the world.. It is this sharing bit, that makes social bookmarking sites a great traffic building tool.</p>
<p>So can I make money from the comforts of my home using social bookmarking? Well, you can. The thing is that you need to know how to use them to your advantage.</p>
<p><strong>Why should I start social bookmarking?</strong></p>
<p>Whether you run a start-up or an established website, social bookmarking is an indispensable SEO tool. As you probably know social bookmarking sites attract a lot of visitors. With a little effort you will be able to drive a portion of this traffic into your site. Let me explain the basics.</p>
<p>Search engines love bookmarks. Google doesnt handpick the sites on its search results. Google search results are based on a complex algorithm. Even though Google is a great search engine, sometimes it does get results wrong. Irrelevant sites often make it to Google search results. Social bookmarks, on the other hand, are made by real human beings like you and me. We bookmark a site when we like it. We share it with other people when we are certain that they will love it too. Google knows this. So sites enjoying good popularity on social bookmarking sites will naturally get good rankings in Google.</p>
<p><strong>How can I use social bookmarking to my advantage? </strong></p>
<p>Social bookmarking is a sort of viral marketing. Submit a page with interesting content and one user will pass it on to another. That user will pass it on to yet another user. The chain reaction is bound to continue as long the content is interesting. So write good content and submit them to as many social bookmarking sites as possible and you are going to reap great benefits.</p>
<p>When bookmarking a web page, you are allowed to give tags and specify categories. Give search engine optimized keywords as tags. Since search engines will associate these tags (keywords) with your URL, your chances of ranking high for those keywords will significantly rise.</p>
<p><strong>Which are the most popular social bookmarking sites?</strong></p>
<p>Well, there are too many sites. It requires a great deal of time and efforts to submit your pages to all of these sites. Automated submission tools are therefore the need of the hour. Many automated tools are available. Do your research before you choose one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got a blog/site with cool content? Need to spread the word? Well, gone are the days when Google search rankings alone decided the fate of a website. Tools like social bookmarks are now equally effective in driving traffic to a website. They arent as powerful as Google. But you cant ignore them either.</p>
<p><strong>What is social bookmarking?</strong></p>
<p>Social bookmarking is a traffic and link building strategy that has been getting a lot of attention of late. Social bookmarks are links that users add to bookmarking sites like delicious and reddit. Most web pages now come with social bookmarking buttons. If users find an interesting webpage, they can simply click on or more of those social bookmarking buttons to add the page to the respective bookmarking site. These links are then organized by the bookmarking sites into useful categories. Many people now consider these links more relevant than the results generated by a search engine.  This is because social bookmarks are generated by real human beings, whereas search results are generated by robots that work on an algorithm.</p>
<p>Social bookmarking basically serves two purposes. It drives traffic to your site. It is also very effective in link building. When your site gets bookmarked on a social bookmarking site, you receive a back link. You know the importance of link popularity in SEO. The more back links you have the higher your search rankings in Google will be.</p>
<p><strong>How to start social bookmarking?</strong></p>
<p>Ideally you should bookmark every page on your site/blog. But this can be very time consuming if you have a big website/blog with numerous pages. In that case you need to consider using an automated social bookmarking tool. An automated social bookmarking tool will do everything you need to bookmark all the pages on your site. Many automated tools can submit your bookmarks to several sites all at once. In case, you prefer to do it manually, submit the best pages on your site &#8211; the pages that have really cool content. People following your bookmark will eventually discover the other pages on your site.</p>
<p>Submit your site to as many bookmarking sites as possible. There are several social bookmarking sites. While some of these sites arent even worth mentioning, there are some other sites like Digg, Propeller, Delicious and Folkd which you just cant ignore.</p>
<p>By submitting your site to social bookmarking sites you gain both traffic and backlinks. Your success, nevertheless, depends on the kind of website you have. Social bookmarking helps informative sites with good content. They arent very helpful in promoting e-commerce sites. This is because the followers of social bookmarking sites are looking for good content that they can share with other people.</p>
