Can Social Bookmarking increase rank?

If you hit a site with a 2-3K SB blast you can see some very impressive ranking improvements, as in from >1000 to first page with some KWs. In my experience, the new rank doesnt really stick that well and they tend to slide back down unless you are doing other high quality backlinking.

So long as its do follow and have some page rank it will surely help your ranking. There are several ways you can use this techniques, you can create some level of tier links and build rank to it or create a link wheel and blast your site with the social bookmarking links.

You will want to do this consistently until you arrive at your destination.

Social Bookmarking definitely be helpful to get the rank for the keyword. But be sure that you have choose the right keyword for your site. As keyword in the sense title as it is the thing that drive people to click on your link. And with the right title provide unique description that attract people to your site. So this way through unique description and related title you can get success using social bookmarking method.

The problem could be that you used it only once. Maybe you didn't do enough. Maybe the SB sites all had Zero Page rank so you didn't get much quality links. I'm just guessing but it can be any of these reasons.

Social BM does not help that much unless you have a following (let's say on Digg) that click on your link - then it will help you a little in the SERPs.

Sure submitting site in top ranking sbm sites can improve ur ranking.

In my experience in using social bookmarking, yes it can help you to increase your SERP ranking. However, this should done properly by targeting the right keywords and making a good description.

This 2012 people. Social bookmarking died last year.
Spam and idiotic takeovers killed it.

Social bookmarking does nothing for rankings.

But, this is one "technique" that will refuse to die as
long as people refuse to stop, look, and listen.

But it's quite useless.

I can't imagine why anyone would create a list of such
nonsense. After the first one or two, at best, the list
would be insanely trivial.

Wake up and smell 2012, people.

Social bookmarking helps to store links. You get faster search engine listing because crawler visit these social bookmark submitting websites often since they are trustworthy or popular websites, therefore enabling your hyperlinks to be indexed immediately. To be able to get a high pr, it's important that you get a lot of one-way or inbound hyperlinks. Bookmarking 2.0 is the best resources to get number of backlinks.

Thanks for the generous suggestions.I think if it is done with consistent effort , it can help to increase the traffic and Page rank.For increasing the Serp rank it should be combined with other techniques as well.

hi friend ...
SBM is increase traffic and help for crown page.

Social bookmarking like digg and reddit can really make a big difference. They can improve your site's overall rankings.

Social bookmarking is a very good way to get a page indexed, and has other benefits too. The main function is to share your new page with others who have similar interests and hopefully this gets shared and retweeted etc by others. In other words they go viral. It is mainly through this route that your content becomes more popular, which in turn encourages more visitors and often an improvement in rank.

Rank improvement is usually the end result of a successful marketing plan, rather than the initial intention.

In my experience it increases your keyword rank if you use quality content. Moreover, for getting higher page rank sites like FB, Twitter, Google+, Stumble Upon digg etc. are the best option but you have to quality contents else no benefits.

I only use social bookmarking to get decent backlinks but I never think of it as a way to get better ranking. If you are determined to get a nice rank in Google then do article marketing, build links in high ranking sites by blog commenting, forum marketing helps out too.

Social bookmarks are highly praised even after the Google Panda update. In other words, it helps rank your website, blog, landing page or video well to Google. Just only bookmark them to high quality social bookmarks today like Digg, StumbleUpon, etc.

It will help but not the only factor for the ranking keyword.

hey,
Yes social bookmarking will definitely increase rank as it provides quality backlinks.

I do use social bookmarking for backlinking and get results. What I don't do, however, is automated bookmark generation and submission (well, I do use tools such as Social Adr to submit my bookmarks automatically). I create unique spun content (not automatically spun, I mean manual spun content that is readable and unique) and submit that.

Yes it can definitely help in getting traffic and increasing your page rank. Try Mister Wong.

Sure. Social Bookmarking in quality bookmarking sites helps you to increase page rank and traffic to your site.

After the latest Google Panda update I have heard a lot of people and have read a lot of forum posts that Mass Social Bookmarking coupled with 1k-2k blog network posts can do wonders for a site's rankings.

Social Bookmarking can help site get more traffic. When doing Social bookmarking, try to use those sites with higher PR.

great discussion..thanks guys

It will help in ranking and pagerank but it will be more effective if you do dreep feeds instead of a straight blast.

I have never seen social bookmarking offer more than a slight temporary boost. If you have a quick way to do it, go ahead, but dont expect miracles.

Social bookmarking, a kind of link building technique,

I'm not sure about ranking but it will add some social impact to your money website and authority too. As result your ranking may will increase

Yes, Social Bookmarking help to increase traffic on any site because it is quick indexed by search engines.

Only standalone bookmarking won't help with rankings.May it might jump up couple of spots but if u want to rank u have to have other sources of links.

Bookmarking is far from dead. Bookmarking itself won't fly your page up the SERPS but it will help build PR and traffic if done consistently over a period of time. The reason why it's disregarded alot now is because there are other things like link building that can and will fly your page up the SERPS and also help build PR. Basically the Quick Fix Vs. Slow Boat to China. Most will choose the quick fix first and once you've piled up enough cash then investing in Social bookmarking, and the likes is like icing on the cake.

If your bookmarking sites provide do-follow back links then you can increase page rank but if not then you can just increase huge web traffics. Thanks

Social bookmarks are very good for get the backlinks and very good for get the age index

Social Bookmarkings can definitely help to increase your rankings but the best way to use is diversifying your link popularity.

In my case, I think social bookmarking really helps you to rank well. Social bookmarking also helps you get tons of free traffic to your website.

Yes. Social bookmarking will increase your site ranking. Manual submission is better.

If you have dofollow and high PR social bookmarking sites, you can increase traffic to your site. But I do no use this activity as it is time consuming and approval time is very long.

It just help to indexing your site on google search....

The answer,in my opinion, is yes..especially if the social bookmarking is high PR and dofollow..But do not rely on just one link building strategy..

Social bookmarking is very effective for your website if you do this work regularly. it is helpful for your website.

It also depends on the competition you are trying to outrank and the type of site/page you are promoting. I have discovered that it works extremely well for some but not others.

Now-a-days social bookmarking not providing better results.

Yes surely it used to increase the traffic to a website..

I think doing unique social bookmarking submissions still helps. Changing the title, description, tags with each submission still counts.

You Would Need Some Do Follow Backlinks!

Without a doubt it's effective.

It won't get you the best links, but it will get you some decent ones and some useless ones.

It will get you indexed.

Some of the big sites might even send you some traffic.

It's always been one of the first things I do for off-page SEO.

i use it to indexing my content quickly

Yeah bookmarking can be excellent but it all boils down to the same thing...content! There's no point bookmarking rubbish content that no-one is interested in reading or viewing. The only way to get any decent value out of it (especially since Panda ;-)) is if people actually like what your submitting and plug it themselves...

Yes, it is best method to get fast index from search engines. But a good SEO strategy will not depend on a single link building method to get better SERP. You have to go for other combinations of available link building methods to get SERP along with social bookmarks.

Its good for quick indexing and getting some traffic that can cause other people take your content and give you further backlinks

Its can be a part of your overall SEO strategies.Only social bookmarking cant increase your ranking.,there should be a diversification of your backlink sources.

ya of course you can try facebook, twitter, digg and etc.

Social bookmarking is very much effective process of SEO. It helps to improve the visibility of your site on search engine.

Yes. sometimes it do, but social bookmarking is more effectively effects in increasing the traffic for the website.

It surely does helps, but you can't depend on social bookmarking only to get
decent rank. Diversify is really important mate, especially on backlinks.

Yes it helps , especially twitter. don't bother about no-follow and do-follow, also it helps in indexing your backlinks. so try creating backlinks and retweet your backlinks on twitter , it helps to get those indexed. It also applies for wiki links.

Be careful with just one type of backlinks. You need link diversity. Sure a blast of a few thousand links can have a nice effect on your rankings, but it will slip back unless you combine it with other types of links as well. Social Bookmarks should not in any case be you main method of backlinking. Learn how to get the Link Mix right first. A Link Strategy is always a good idea before you start blasting away.

Not only does social bookmarking drive traffic to your site, it creates a source of passive income through the increased number of qualified visitors who find your site due to SEO and viral marketing results.
Bookmarking is excellent strategy to employ. I recently saw the value from this when I had a huge increase in my traffic from one of these sites.

Yes..I agree..Social bookmarking will help our new sites/posts get indexed by google..But I think backlinks from social bookmarking sites also valuable to increase our SERP.Especially from high PR sites..

I use social bookmarking for indexing and for diversification, but didnt saw some real movements in serps do to the backlinks from them.

I've used social bookmarking mainly for indexing new sites or new pages. I haven't really tried using it for ranking purposes. If you're trying to rank very easy keywords, it can help, but I doubt for medium competitive ones.

depends on the amount of links you are getting and how competitive your keyword is...i got movement on one keywords for a particular niche which wasn't too competitive but not a lot. I also tried it for a competitive term and it got nothing...wikis haven't worked for me either

All of guys give good comments i really appreciate to all but i suggest to you one more thing that only social bookmarking is not increase the website's rank do some other link building methods...

Thanks..

Now these day..Google give low priority to Bookmarking sites. And you just get traffic only from it..

Social bookmarking site helps to increase PR and also brings extra traffic. So i think every body do again and again bookmarking for every new post. i m enjoying from this.

High pr and do follow social bookmarking sites ,,,

increasing your site pr and also increasing your site traffic,,,,

From my experience, Social bookmarking helps to get index quickly (google crawls) on search engine but not useful to get good ranking.

It Helps You In SERPs!

Definitely, Social Bookmarking is one of the main parts in SEO because it increases lots of traffic to your site. If you make a good portfolio on Social Bookmarking sites then you will do anything whatever you want.

I don't think so that social bookmarking increase your rank on Google and other search engine. Yes, social bookmarking websites helps you to index quickly your websites.

Hello! Page rank and do follow links will help you with this game mate. Also, targeting the right audiences would help you a lot. Also try to index your site on google. I hope that helped you in a way or so. Best of luck!

Social book marking helps in getting more traffic to your websites and helps in building more backlinks. Do it in regular basis and always use the effective keywords for title.that will really helps you.

I generally bookmark my posts to generate traffic to my niche, but it can prove to be very good for your keywords too. In your case, you need to bookmark each page of your niche.

Yes social BM is very important to get traffic and it generate more back links.

Social Bookmarking needs new and diversified ways for you to get the full benefit of it. Building social bookmark links straight to your website is not really a good idea nowadays because of some relevancy issues.

Mostly, it is now used as a buffer pages booster in tiered linking structure.

It is really hard to achieve a great rank ONLY with Social Bookmarking. They could help you yes for indexing and extra traffic, maybe forum and article marketing would be better to get a better position in Google!

Social Bookmarking still does work (I only have experience with Twitter though) - Used it 3 weeks ago for my new site (Direct link) where I dripped 20 tweets directly to my money site for 3 days = 60 tweets and my ranking were from 1000+ to 25 within those 3 days. I jumped more than 900 (There was little competition according to MS - 13,000, but still.

The rankings retained and kept improving because I did some other BL'ing and now I'm #9 and I haven't maintained my site for a week. It was slapped by Yahoo, bing, and everything else besides google so I'll probably scrap the site.

I think now social bookmark gets their own moment againts, social bookmark not counted backlinks but social bookmark counted social media factors in search engine as well as google
