I know what you’re thinking: “Social bookmarking? Isn’t that like… 2010 SEO?”
Trust me, I thought the same thing. For years, I completely ignored social bookmarking sites because every “expert” kept saying they were dead, spammy, or worthless for modern SEO.
Then last year, I was desperate. One of my clients was in a super competitive niche (personal finance), and we’d tried everything- guest posting, broken link building, HARO, you name it. We were stuck on page 3 for our main keywords.
Out of pure frustration, I decided to test some old-school tactics. Including social bookmarking.
I spent three weeks carefully submitting our best content to 47 different social bookmarking sites.
Not the spammy, mass-submission way everyone warns against. I’m talking about thoughtful, selective submissions with proper descriptions and relevant categories.
The results? Our average ranking position improved by 23% in two months. More importantly, we started getting referral traffic from sites I’d never heard of before.
