Does social bookmarking still work? If so can anyone recommend a tool

[vanplus]

Hello everything,

I'm trying to find a tool I can use for my domain : www.van-plus.com to get it socially bookmarked?

Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks in advance!

Is Social Monkee any good?

Thanks

Social Bookmarking does still work but not as well as it may have in the past. It can still be a viable way to get traffic to your site but not necessarily always the most qualified traffic. Personally I'd say to stay away from any social bookmarking tools that will automate things for you because that will be a bit of a red flag if you're too spammy with adding your links. A more natural approach to getting your pages added to social bookmarking sites is the better way to go. Just don't expect it to magically increase you rankings, conversions, etc.

So basically it's probably best if I manually create the accounts? Is it either worth it other than facebook, twitter and google plus?

I know this is probably going a little off topic, however I'm fairly new to SEO so i could do with all the help i can get. I am currently trying to get my domain ranked www.van-plus.com  for some keywords. What method's do you use? I've found a few ways but I think they seem spammy:

1.   20 x 2.0 links, 25 PR 1 links ,  1 youtube linke, 100 social bookmarks, 20 -50 wiki links.

2.  Concentrate more on blogs and creating 2.0 but with very varied anchor text. And also making sure I link something useful to people.

Thanks very much! Sorry to go off topic, I am so keen to learn it's unreal!

Social bookmarking sites can be crawled and indexed by the Search Engines whereas most social media platforms likes Facebook and Twitter are not usually indexed and links are nofollowed. Starting a blog and regularly adding original content will help your site. Linking should be as natural as possible. Don't buy into any of those linking packages out there as they are likely to get you algorithmically penalized.

I agree with Mike. Stay away from automated tools if possible. One of the major social bookmarking sites is StumbleUpon, I believe you can also promote pages on their site as well. Just like every other social site, you will want to be somewhat active and contribute in order to get the best value.

No automated software for linking is beneficial for your search engine rankings, and it's a good way to do more damage than good.

Create great, unique - query friendly copy and attract incoming / viral links from that. There is no shortcut to SEO.

Hi Peter,

I would say no It will not work for you if you do nothing but start adding your links to dozens of social bookmarking websites, Google or any other search engine will start ignoring your website. check my website http://www.rameezulhaq.com you will not find a single link from a social bookmarking website. and Currently I am ranked in top 5 for most of my primary keywords

Have a Good Day!

I agree with the Mike that Social Bookmarking does work but not as much impact like it does before. If you really want to rank your on keywords you need to do your work on high authority sites. You can check my site https://www.umeranees.com and you will find less social bookmarking but find links from the high authority sites. Hope this comment will help you!

I agree with Mike. Stay away from automated tools if possible. One of the major social bookmarking sites is StumbleUpon, I believe you can also promote pages on SEO Expert in Pakistan site as well. Just like every other social site, you will want to be somewhat active and contribute in order to get the best value.
