Hi guys, What I want to look at to day is to review the way that we look at search engine optimization, and is social bookmarking taking the place of backlinks.

Now days most of the internet marketers are using social bookmarking to get even more free traffic. One of the most popular websites that is being used for social bookmarking is 'Delicious'. This is because of it's built in user base - it allows you to generate traffic from the Delicious users and from multiple places, rather than just one search engine. Also, there has been a huge shift recently about how Google is ranking your websites. As we all know, Backlinks has been at the four front of high page ranking for some time now. Later in this article we are going to review how social bookmarking could soon be taking the place of backlinks to your website. This is the new search engine optimization technique.

- One of the very cool benefits of using Social Bookmarking for free trffic, is that the Social Bookmarking websites rank very highly in the search engine. You will often see Delicious and Digg rank in the top spots for some very competitive keyphrase. So not only do you get the benefit of the built in traffic base, but your bookmarked pages could also appear in the free listings. which obviously means even more traffic. It goes without saying, the more pages that you bookmark, the more free traffic you will get.

- As mentioned before, Social Bookmarking has it's own traffic base. This means that there are lots of people going around bookmarking websites that are of interest to them. They are basically looking for websites that have beneficial content.

     There two main features that the visitors will be looking at.

          -The first of those will be your recency tags. This is basically, the frequently at which you bookmark your website. If a user is going to want to keep coming back for more information, and see your website as a valuable source for their content. Then you will need to bookmark your website as often as you can.

         - The second benefit for you is all about search engine optimization. To be even more specific, it's all about backlinks. Once again, just as articles are a great way of creating backlinks to your website, so is social bookmarking. Every time you add your website to a social bookmarking website, it basically acts as a one way link. If you know anything about search engine optimization then you will know the power off one way links into your website.

     However there is another technique that can greatly benefit your search engine optimization, and this is all to do with the latest social signals. This means that if you want Google to take your website seriously and rank it high in the organic natural listings. You need to get individuals to bookmark your website. The more book-markings your website has, the more Google is going to see your website as being highly relevant. Some expert are now quoting that Google is now ranking this third party interest above backlinking, which is a huge shift that you need to be awear of. This however, does not mean that backlinks are going to become worthless, it just means that you need to start looking at new avenues if you want to stay ahead of the competition.

     One of the most important parts of most of the web 2.0 traffic generation is the use of tags. This includes - Blogs, profiles, most social networking websites and of course social bookmarking. Tags are basically away of making sure that users can find you. By using keyphrases in your tags your are greatly increasing you chance of other users finding you and giving you a review. Your keyphrases should be words that you know are going to get searched for, and are not to competitive. For example: If your promoting 'mountain bike suspension', then just the word 'bike' would be to general. However if you had the phrase 'mountain bike suspension' and even added in the model numbers. Then this becomes highly targeted traffic. You might not get as many visitors to your website, but the visitors that you do get are more likely to buy from you. thus, increasing your convertion rates.

     So, what does this all mean for you? well, this basically means that your research into your tags should be just as important to you as your research into your websites keywords. There is no point in bookmarking your website with very low quality tags. Remember, it takes time to bookmark your websites, so you might as well do it right, rather than waist your time.

In a nutshell. Start using Social Bookmarking websites today. This is a great way of getting free traffic from multiple sources. Take note of this search engine optimization review , and visit my website for even more info on this. www.ebookscomputer.com
