        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

        Hi Rameez
        you are right websites with dozen of links of social bookmarking are mostly ignored or "dropped" by the crawlers for instance you can also check my website :https://humayounmussawar.com/ doesn't contain any link from social book marking site and my ranking and traffic both are good

          @mikeroberts Question for you - what if some spammer has added your url to a list then started copy pasting the list all over the Internet? Plus uses anchor text that has nothing to do with your site?

          I've deleted the forum posts on my site they link back to - but am concerned this will give me too many 4xx errors. all links in forum posts are no follow,

            Thanks

            Social Monkee is no more and I will suggest you that don't uses any automation tool.

              Hi Peter,

              It is basically a far old way but most people still do it. If your check my website https://iamrafay.com you will not see any of the social bookmarks links because the time has gone for using it. I hope it helps.

                  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 The Youth International Pakistani Newspaper 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.

                      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!

                          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.

                              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.

                                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 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.

                                      Anyone have experience using Quuu Promote

                                      Hi All, Do any of you have thoughts on this new content amplification platform? I saw it come through the App Sumo feed. I'm mainly wondering if anyone has any experience regarding link building with this service. Edited: Aug 25. After watching the video on how to use the Q&A (https://moz.com/help/guides/qa-overview/asking-question-qa) I thought I would make clear that I don't work for Quuuu. I work for a non-profit magazine publisher. I'm simply curious. Seeing that there have been no responses makes me think that perhaps I should pass on this platform. Thanks!

                                      On a website, is the most effective user experience for the social media icons to open new tabs?

                                      There is debate around what is most effective for user experience. When a user clicks on the social media icons on our site, should a new tab be opened for the social media page or should the website redirect to the social media page?

                                      Yoast Social Accounts URL Section

                                      Hi When you click: Social within Yoast plugin it defaults to 'Account' tab and displays a list of fields to enter your social media account urls. Sentence above list says: "To inform Google about your social profiles, we need to know their URLs. For each, pick the main account associated with this site and please enter them below" What does that mean exactly and does it effect links on the site etc or literally is just Yoast telling G ? Also if you have sub sites for different language versions (WP on Multi User setup), which in turn have their own language specific social media account versions , should you enter those urls in the sub site language version own Yoast plugin fields OR , as per "...pick the main account associated with this site and please enter them below" use the primary social account and not the language specific social account or just leave them blank ? Many Thanks Dan

                                      How can I change the Facebook Page shown in the SERP

                                      Hi everyone, got a quick question in regard to our Facebook page and its appearance on the Google SERP. We have individual Facebook pages for every country and language. Unfornately the UK site is ranking in the German SERP rather then our Germany Facebook Site. The UK site is way older and has much more likes which most likely explains why this page is (still) outranking our, fairly new site (couple of months). Is there a way, to push my German Facebook Site in front of the UK Site in Germany? Any advice or tipp is much appreciated. Thanks

                                      What is the value of having a social media feed displayed on your website?

                                      This is something I asked myself this evening. You see a lot of sites with a Facebook or Twitter feed displayed, but I struggle to understand their value. OK, it shows that you are active on this or that social media channel, but unless you are posting great content consistently on the social media displayed, the impact of your feed could detract from the web page it is displayed on. It could also cause a visitor to that page on your site to click away from your site into the noise and distraction of that social media channel. I don't have an issue with using social media icons to link to your channels, but they are more discreet and the sort of thing people will look for if they are interested enough in your web pages to want to connect with you. Also, social sharing icons are good, but I do not see the value in social media feeds. Do you agree or disagree? I am more than will to be persuaded otherwise. Thanks in advance,
                                      Peter

                                      Hi For Twitter using Followerwonk you can gauge the influence on what a person/brand is using a tool like Follwerwonk helping you find the most influential twitter users based on a number of metrics.  But is there a similar tool for Facebook which shows which brands/companies Facebook sites have the most influence.  Or is the best way to gauge this is just on their number of likes? which is not really accurate

                                      How can I go from PR3 to PR4 ?

                                      Hi guys ! I'm a one guy army here trying to get my website rank from PR3 to PR4. I have really great content (the website is an industry standard) that's about 80 pages. I currently rank PR3 (find my stats down there). Anyone have an idea on an action plan to get to the next level ? I don't have a budget, I just have manpower (more or less 1h seo everyday + one day a week to write content).

                                      UK home improvement - building links or social shares?

                                      Hi We are a regional UK installer of double glazing windows, doors and conservatories and I am looking to build the amount of quality links to the website to help improve our search position - 1st page for keywords such as conservatories, double glazing, pvc doors, pvc windows, composite doors What is the best approach to do this? Search for double glazing inurl:forum pvc doors inurl:forum and locate forums, but what is the best approach answer questions with the web address in the signature of the post? Looking at the major national players in opensite explorer such as anglianhome.co.uk
                                      safestyle-windows.co.uk
                                      greenwayupvc.com
                                      everest.co.uk
                                      valuedoorsuk.co.uk
                                      yaledoor.co.uk/ Their backlink profiles look quite spammy? as they mostly point to web directories So is there a gap that I can take advantage of? We have little budget for sponsored articles on sites like what anglian have been doing looking at the backlinks but are there any other articles that I could write for our site that would help improve quality links to the site for keywords such as conservatories, double glazing, pvc doors, pvc windows, composite doors Same with their social profiles they seem quite poor, what would be the best approach on Facebook and Twitter to attract local followers - the majority of social followers I have seen have been fellow marketers or rival companies on the follower lists of twitter Many Thanks
