Social bookmarking to gain links is very easy to do and involves posting the particulars of your blog post on several social bookmarking sites.



First of all, you need to be blogging consistently. If you are extremely busy, then you can post one or two articles per week, and doing this will be way better than doing nothing.

This is OK if you stick to your schedule. Just don't let your blog lie dormant for long time periods as this will erode away any benefits that you have already gained.

Each blog post can be bookmarked to all of the top social directories, as time permits. If you want, you can add a plug in which will cause your posts to be automatically bookmarked to the top sites every time you post.

One of the best free bookmarking services is Onlywire.com. With this service, you can bookmark to over 20 of the top social sites with one mouse click.

It will take a little bit of time to sign up with all of the bookmarking sites within Onlywire, but it will be well worth your time to do so and you will only have to do it once.

Make sure when you bookmark your blog posts to include relevant keywords that are associated with the article. It is therefore important to produce high quality articles which contain targeted keyword phrases.

To get the most out of your blogging, you will first of all, want to generate a list of targeted long tail keyword phrases. Next, write each blog post using the keyword phrase as the central theme of the article. When you bookmark your blog posts, create a short summary that includes the keyword phrase and don't forget to place the keyword in the tags portion of the bookmark.

You will start to understand how valuable social bookmarking to increase back links is for your blogging when you see the resulting traffic. This traffic will not only come from the social directories, but also from the better search engine rankings which you will receive.
