Social Bookmarking and Organic Search Engines

The key to success with any Social Bookmarking (SB) promotion 
is to make is seem "natural" to the search engines.  The way to 
accomplish this by yourself is the set up MULTIPLE SB accounts on 
multiple sites.  Then, you run your promotion SLOWLY over time:  A 
few bookmarks today, a few next week, a few next month, etc.

That's the general idea.  Let's get into some of Jeff's specific 
recommendations.  (Now, this is relatively mysterious and advanced 
stuff - but don't be intimidated!  Also, know that not everybody does 
this, so it's okay if you don't get it the first time you read it.)

1. Register multiple accounts for each of the Social Bookmarking 
sites listed at SocialMarker.com.  We suggest starting out with 
at least 10 unique accounts for each Social Bookmarking (SB) 
site.  Here's some additional tips that will help you do this quickly.

a. For example, visit propeller.com and open up 10 unique 
accounts using different usernames, email 
addresses, etc.

b. Use free email accounts from Yahoo, Gmail, etc. to open 
up the accounts.

c. Repeat the process for each of the 29 Social Bookmarking 
sites listed at SocialMarker.com

d. Jeff's guys tell him it only takes about 15 minutes to sign 
up for all 29 of those SB sites.   So creating 10 accounts 
at each should only take a few hours to complete.

e. Use SocialMarker.com itself when signing up for your new 
accounts; when it takes you to each of the 29 sites, don't 
enter your existing passwords.  Simply sign up for a new 
one and move on to the next.

f. **TIP - Use RoboForm.com to organize all your usernames 
and passwords - it's a great time saver (not just for this, but 
for a LOT of your online activities).

2. Rotate the SB accounts you use for each page/post/video you 
submit through SocialMarker.com

a. For example, you should have made 10 propeller.com 
accounts in the last step.  For any given item you are 
bookmarking, randomly choose 3 of those accounts to 
submit your item to.  The next time you bookmark an 
item, randomly choose 3 more.

b. Do NOT submit this same page to all 10 of your 
propeller.com accounts at the same time.  It may be 
tempting, but it defeats the purpose of this strategy if 
you don't follow it to the letter!

c. NOTE: We're using propeller.com as an example here, 
but this applies to each different SB site just the same.
Continue to add new SB accounts to use in your promotions on 
a regular basis.

d. For example, we started but setting up 10 accounts for 
each SB site.  Each week or two, add a few new ones so 
you eventually have a roster of 40 or 50 accounts at 
each SB site.

IMPORTANT - THIS IS A MUST-DO TIP

4. This is a DO-OR-DIE tip.  Mix it up!  If you're promoting a 
page/post/video about Jessica Alba (for example) - you should 
ALSO Social Bookmark items you find about her from various 
other sites as well (YouTube, MySpace, Digg, etc.) that are 
NOT the pages you're promoting.  This will help create that 
"natural" appearance we are striving for.

**NOTE: If you are not natural when you do this, it's going to 
look like spam - because, it IS spam if you abuse it.  Please 
understand that there is a fine line between power techniques 
like this and outright abuse - don't abuse this tip!  Do it the 
right way.

5. Here's another evil strategy that will multiply your results with 
some extra effort.  Social Bookmark the Social Bookmarking 
pages too!  For example, I created a video, loaded it onto 
YouTube, and then posted that video to my blog.  I then ran 
an SB promotion for my new video blog post.  But then you 
should ALSO take the video page on YouTube where I 
uploaded my video and run an SB promotion on that page as 
well.  Remember, we're trying to get multiple pages of our 
content ranking.  This is how it's done.

6. Do your SB promotions for each page/post/video SLOWLY 
over time.  I mentioned this before, but it bears repeating.  
Do a few pages today, a few next week, and a few more 
next month.  Pacing your promotions over time is vital for 
long-term success and viability of this strategy.

7. When you are setting the "tags" for your Social Bookmarks, 
you should be using your primary keywords.  Choose highly 
specific "long-tail" ones whenever possible.  For example, if 
you're promoting a "casio exilim ex-z1080 digital camera" 
one of your "tags" should be "casio exilim ex-z1080 digital 
camera".  Then, include genreal tags too, like "digital 
camera", "casio camera", "casio exilim", etc.

8. Create videos for your promotions whenever possible, and 
spread them as far and wide as you can.  Use services like 
TrafficGeyser.com and HeySpread.com to make this easier, 
faster and semi-automated.  We do this because video pages 
are currently tending to stay ranked longer than the Social 
Bookmarking sites and blog pages.  DON'T FORGET to SB 
those video pages like we talked about in step 5!

9. Social Bookmarking shouldn't be the only technique you use 
to promote your page/post/video - Use every technique you 
know!  Incoming links, article marketing, press releases, 
SEO, etc.

10.  Finally, DON'T run an SB campaign for every little 
page/post/video you create.  Social Bookmarking can create 
a lot of "spam" and again, we want to make your promotions 
appear natural and organic.

Andy and Jeff. Wow! What stuff you teach. Generous guys! Love ya.
