[http://www.zabox.net/SEO/Rank_1_Social_Bookmarking_Submission_Service/ Social Bookmarking] is the practice of posting links to articles and webpages to various "link aggregator" or social bookmark sites, including Digg, Stumbleupon and so on. Social bookmarking sites rise and fall in popularity fairly quickly, but they generally have a few common features:

1. Users can submit links which other users can browse, providing a great way to expose your content.

2. Links get into large pages of lists, that are normally very easy to navigate, and tend to be usually divided up into a "main page" of the best links for the day, and various sub-sections which help you to definitely get exposure in additional relevant circles.

3. Links can usually be "voted on" to determine which links get more airtime on the front page of varied sections. The more votes your links get, the harder traffic they get.

4. Some sites, like Digg, attach a weighting to certain actions and users, so a user who submits very popular links will have a vote that carries more importance.

5. Most social bookmark submitting site users are fairly jaded in terms of the internet, and will ignore stuff that aren't interesting, funny, or very entertaining. This is simply not a place for your boring press announcements.

6. Most bookmarking sites will often have some kind of "social" element in their mind, allowing users to generate profiles, have a friends listing of other users, etc., in the hope of getting users to share content between themselves.

Those are the basics, so let's check out how best to approach social bookmark submitting. I'm going to use Reddit and Digg as my main examples, however that Reddit itself requires a great deal of familiarity with its culture until you are able to submit links that anybody even clicks on.

Choose your niche

[http://www.flixya.com/blog/4359089/Rank-1-Social-Bookmarking-Submission-Service Social Bookmarking] - Submitting articles on growing bonsai trees to the front page of Reddit won't make you any money - you'll get 30 visitors maybe, none who will buy your products. But submitting it to /r/bonsai, even though it only has around 1,100 readers, will probably garner you more attention from interested people.

Ironically, submitting to /r/trees could have much less of an effect, because /r/trees is dedicated to marijuana culture. The lesson the following is: know your subreddits.

Write an appealing title, and use a photo

[http://current.com/technology/93745543_rank-1-social-bookmarking-submission-service.htm Social Bookmarking] - Standard newspaper/advert headline formats fail to work too well on the internet, because everyone has become safe from them. Instead you need to think of a clever title that interests people enough for more information about what you're writing, or at least promise pictures of cats.

Most bookmarking sites add a thumbnail from the page you're linking to, a treadmill you provide. Go ahead and take trouble to do this - it generates higher click throughs.

Keep at it, to make your links simple to share

[http://graymes.linkarena.com/ Social Bookmarking] is about persistence, so if nobody clicks your first link, make another article, come up with a more clever title and attempt again. Put a social bookmark submitting widget on your blog or website, and encourage people to share with you your articles. If you've submitted them already, and they've accounts, it only takes another to click an "upvote" or "like" button.

If nothing else, having links to all or any of your articles on six [http://www.startaid.com/viewurl.php?link=http://socialbookmarksubmission.org&username=graymes&urlid=21556412 Social Bookmarking] sites is great for SEO.
