I had always been a skeptic of social bookmarking. I had done bookmarking, paid for bookmarking services and saw no real results. There is a huge difference between the word submissions and backlinks.

I also knew people who had their accounts closed and had their IP address banned from social bookmarking sites for using multiple accounts and automated social bookmarking software. I had tried to get friends to bookmark my site but found most people were lost at the first mention of bookmarking and backlinks.

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to several other people that were of like mind. They had sites they wanted to promote to increase their internet presence. These folks volunteered their time and effort to help each other by bookmarking each others sites.

I am truly grateful that they were willing to follow a specific format to test the bookmarking theory I had. Thanks to all of these folks it was evident in a short 3 week span that we truly were on to something. Thus Social Bookmarking 101 was born.

The results of this group that was 20 plus strong was phenomenal. By using the specific methods employed in Social Bookmarking 101 we were able to generate extremely targeted traffic, increase backlinks at a nice steady rate (just the way google loves it) and see many of our sites on the first page of google.

This group worked great, however to get the maximum effect we would need more members (right around 100). This would require setting up an easy to follow guide, videos, a way to manage members (this would include a way to weed out any slackers) a way to deliver assignments and of course a way to promote this to other like minded people who were willing to spend an hour a week helping others in order to help themselves.

The majority of this work has been done. That brings us to today. The official Pre-launch of Social Bookmarking 101. The kick off will be in mid June. The need for the pre – launch is to get 100 more members and provide them the tips and time to get their sites dialed in for the launch. The launch will not be announced on the internet.

The only way to be a part of the launch is by pre registering for Social Bookmarking 101. Assignments, launch date, tips and instructions will be delivered via e-mail. To pre-register for Social Bookmarking 101 go to:

Download Firefox Browser and a Google Toolbar.

You can find this at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/upgrade.html then download a google toolbar at: http://tools.google.com/tools/firefox/toolbar/FT3/intl/en/install.html

Make sure and enable page rank when you download the toolbar.

When you look at you google toolbar it will have an indicator of the Page Rank assigned to the page you are viewing. New sites with no backlinks start at zero. Ideally you want to get some one way backlinks form sites that have a high PR.  High PR sites are spidered* by search engines often.

Spidered: This term refers to the search engines robot going through a site and looking for fresh content. Having your link on a site that is spidered often will get the spider to follow your link to your site. This in turn will help you to get your site indexed by the search engines. If your site is not indexed it can not be found in any searches, so this is the first objective we can achieve using your backlink.

There are as many ways to get a backlink on another website as you can think of. We want to find the easiest and fastest way to do this. Web 2.0 and social networking sites provide us the answer to this. Many social bookmarking sites have high PR and get spidered constantly. However many of them use “no follow tags” that keep the spider from following your link. I will have a future post on social bookmarking soon you will not want to miss.

One of the fastest ways to get a one way backlink from a very popular high PR site is place an advertisement for your business or service on Craigslist. This is not a long term backlink but is a great way to get your site indexed and also possibly get some business from your blog or website. After all the reason you want to promote your website or blog is to gain customers for your service or product.

The art of building good quality backlinks is what off page natural SEO is all about. This will be discussed in many posts on Natural SEO 101. For now get your new site listed on Craigslist and get indexed. Stay tuned for more natural SEO tips coming soon.
