[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 couple of common features:

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

2. Links get into large pages of lists, which are normally very easy to navigate, and are generally usually divided up in to a "main page" of the best links during the day, and various sub-sections which help one to get exposure in relevant circles.

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

4. Some sites, like Digg, fasten a weighting to certain actions and users, so an individual who submits very popular links will have a vote that carries more weight.

5. Most social bookmark submitting site users are fairly jaded with regards to 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 usually have some kind of "social" element for them, allowing users to produce profiles, have a friends listing of other users, etc., with the aspiration of getting users to share content between themselves.

Those are the basics, so let's take a look at how best to approach social bookmark submitting. I'm going to use Reddit and Digg as my main examples, however that Reddit itself takes a great deal of familiarity with its culture before you are able to submit links that anybody even selects.

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 do you any good - you'll get 30 visitors maybe, none of whom will buy your products. But submitting it to /r/bonsai, although it only has around 1,100 readers, will probably garner you more attention from interested people.

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

Write an appealing title, and use a picture

[http://current.com/technology/93745543_rank-1-social-bookmarking-submission-service.htm Social Bookmarking] - Standard newspaper/advert headline formats don't work too well on the internet, because everyone has become resistant to them. Instead you should 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 include a thumbnail from the page you're linking to, a treadmill you provide. Take the trouble to do this - it generates much higher click throughs.

Keep at it, making your links an easy task to share

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

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