When it comes to Marketing your Website, using Social Media is key. With the rise of Social Media, Website Marketing has become a constantly changing business, adapting to new Technologies as they come. It is now more important than ever to have a Strategy or Plan in place before you set out on any Website Marketing ventures. Using a Social Bookmarking Strategy can and will save you time and money.

So what is the best Social Bookmarking Strategy to use to market your site? Well, I don’t know what the BEST one is – that completely depends on how you define the word, but I can share with you the strategy that I personally use to market my Sites that has proven itself a success to me.

First, I create account profiles at all of the social bookmarking sites that I want to include in my Social Bookmarking Strategy. This can be a tedious and time consuming task, so if you have the funds I say do yourself a favor and purchase some automated Marketing Software Strategy software to speed up the process for you.

Once that is done I social bookmark the main page of my Website that I am promoting with a Keyword Rich Title. I focus my time on one Keyword at a time, so choose just 1 Keyword to market for now (I personally recommend using Keyword Software to find money making Keywords that are of low competition and high converting. Don’t underestimate the Keyword Research process). Also include your Keyword Phrase in your Tags and choose tags that are popular and relevant to your Website.

Now that you have Bookmarked your Main Webpage at all the Bookmarking Websites it’s time to move on to bookmarking all sites that are linking to yours. These can be other blogs or sites you own, or sites of friends, family, link trade partners, etc. Be sure you bookmark the page on their Website that is pointing to yours, as that is what helps Google and other Search Engines find your site.

The next thing I usually do in my Social Bookmarking Strategy is create a Web 2.0 Property. I personally prefer Squidoo Lenses over any other. Simply go to Squidoo, create an account and post content from your Website onto your personal Squidoo Lens page. Include at least 1 link on your Lens that points back to your Site. Also, be sure to anchor the link with your Keyword Phrase you chose earlier.

Once you have made your Web 2.0 property that links back to your Website with your Keyword Phrase, it’s time to Bookmark it. You are going to repeat the same process you did with submitting your main page and submit your Squidoo Lens Site to the Bookmarking Websites with a Keyword Rich title, description and popular tags.

If you want to go the extra mile with your promotion you can also bookmark any RSS Profiles or Article Profile pages you may have created that link to your site. In short, bookmark anything and everything that links back to your site. The easier you make it for Google and other Search Engines to find your Site with the Keyword you chose, the faster and more highly it will rank in search engine results.
