Social Bookmarking
It's a public list of your favorites. Not all your favorites, just the favorites you want to share with others. You can add any website to your public list and retrieve it from any computer. (This is done on someone else's server, not your computer)
When you list a site in your bookmark list, anyone looking for that same type of information can do a search at the bookmark site and find the sites that you have bookmarked. It is like a search engine without all the trash.
When you do a search in a search engine, you get all the sites that have something to do with the keywords you typed into the search box. It is easy to get a bunch of garbage sites that are loaded up with keywords but have poor content on the actual site.
The great thing about social bookmarking sites is the only sites you will find there are sites that other people have looked at and decided were worth saving for future reference. Real people have decided to save (bookmark) the sites, not robots. Real people also monitor the sites so if trash does get added, it is soon deleted.
The more people who bookmark a site, the more popular it becomes. As an example, lets say you are selling widgets for a really great price. You bookmark your home page on many public bookmarking sites. When someone is looking for a widget, they do a search at the bookmarking site and your bookmark comes up. They go look at your site and decide your prices are so good, they might want to come back later when they need another widget. So they add your site to their bookmarks for future reference.
When someone goes to one of these sites and types widgets into the search box, your site listing will come up in the search. If many people have bookmarked your site, you will be listed high in the search results. It's kind of like a voting system. If you site is good enough to bookmark, other people will want to see what all the fuss is about.
Unlike search engines where all you have to do is good seo, the sites you will find in the Social Bookmarking sites are quality sites that other people enjoyed enough to save. You don't really have to have a good site to get listed in the search engines.
Go to
Socialize-it. This site will give you a list of many bookmarking sites. Go to each site and register for an account. It's FREE! Once you have your account set up, start listing pages from your website.
You can list your main page which is http://www.myinstant.biz/s.php/index/USERNAME. Also list all of your splash pages,
http://www.myinstant.biz/sp.php/1/USERNAME, etc. Make sure you add proper tags to your listing.
Tags are the same as keywords with a twist. These sites will tell you what the most popular searches are on their site. You choose the tags that will work with your site or page and are also part of the popular list. Many of the sites will also offer a spot to write a small description of the site you are bookmarking. Add a description that uses some of your tag words for added benefit.
Good keywords would
be - work at home, internet business, instant
business, online income, business opportunity or
anything else you would put in a search box if you
were looking for a new online business.
As with anything that is worth doing, this will take you a while to get it all set up and running smooth but the end result will be very well worth your effort.
Start with one bookmarking site and one page from your site. (Start with your
main page) Set up your account with the bookmarking site and add your page to the bookmarks. Make sure you use the best tags and description you can. (Check the popularity list on the site)
Don't SPAM the sites. Only add a new
bookmark once every few days to a week. Adding all your pages to one site on the
same day will get your bookmarks flagged and possibly your site banned. Go
slow and do it right. If your site gets banned, it falls back on me and I will
cancel your account at My Instant Biz so you don't ruin the system for everyone.
