          Hello everything,

          I'm trying to find a tool I can use for my domain : www.van-plus.com to get it socially bookmarked?

          Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks in advance!

            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.

                  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.

                                          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

                                          Does anyone know how to identify if a FB post was boosted or not? Does FB or a third party software have that  capability? Thanks, Ruben

                                          How relevant is social bookmarking for SEO today?

                                          I've been doing SEO for a little over 4 years. I've never used sites like Digg, Stumbleupon, Reddit, etc. either personally or on behalf of my clients. This past week I had a discussion with another SEO who asked what I'm doing for my clients with regard to social bookmarking. I responded that I'm really not doing anything and they were shocked. I took a pretty good verbal beating over it. She was borderline offended. I have always been able to deliver solid results for my clients without any type of social bookmarking, so I struggle to see the need, but am surprised at how shocked this other SEO was that I don't do it. How beneficial is it and am I really missing out?

                                          How Can I do SEO for a Escorts Website?

                                          So here comes the hard part of working with SEO.... I've been doing SEO for a quite long time now and as far as I concern, it has been working and that's why I can tell people I'm a SEO Manager! It was all good until 3/4 months ago when I got this client that wanted me to do SEO for his Escort Agency. I've analysed his website and came across some structure error, poor linking and so on... I've started by reformulating his website, re-structuring his urls, keeping good pages and throwing alway the poor content ones, requested some website owners to remove links to that website and so on.... All good and sorted, but when it came to do the off-page optimisation it  became a nightmare! It's pretty easy to get links for a clothing website or any other (not "obscure") kind of websites, but no serious and authority websites would link to an escort agency; It's also very easy to create something funny and nice and post it on a page of your website to get people sharing and liking on facebook, but again very hard to get people to share and like things posted by an escort agency... You can't really advertise on escorts directories and use keywords on the ad because godfather google would penalize you.... I really don't know what to do anymore, so I will list some questions and if guys SEO experts could help me out, I would be so grateful!!! How can I get people linking to the website without paying for it? How can I get good authority links to this kind of website? How can I advertise on paid directories without being penalised by google? How can i get shares and likes on social network websites? The website has about 3000 pages, been online since 2010, have at least 3 lengthy articles posted a day! Please guys help me out with this case that is making me loose my nights of sleep... If you guys need the website address and the targeted keyword I can PM you (I dont know if the forum allows me to post it here) Thank You so much for the help in advance....
