Social Bookmarking: What Works And What Doesn’t

Writing by Social Marketing Journal on Tuesday, May 20, 2008 Leave a comment

Social bookmarking is a little different to social marketing in that when bookmarking, you are often either submitting your own site or having a ‘friend’ submit on your behalf. Before submitting your site to one of the social bookmarking sites, check to see if it fits the following criteria.

  • Titles: write titles that grab attention
  • URL: Never include your URL or domain name Do not put your domain name or URL in your title
  • Content: Make sure the content suits the social bookmarking site – eg, Digg does not like SEO
  • Graphics: Include a good thumbnail to submit with the article
  • Description: Make your description captivating and interesting
  • Text: Don’t capitalize your title
  • What: Only submit content that is original and that people are going to want to read.

The most important points are to submit to the correct places and to make your title and description an advertisement for the page. Social bookmarking is all about grabbing the attention with a title and holding it with content.
