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

So what is the best Social Bookmarking Strategy to use to market your site? Well, I have no idea what the BEST one is – it depends on how that word is defined, but I can share with you the strategy that I personally use to market my Sites that has proved itself a success to me.

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

Once I have that done I social bookmark the main page of my Site with a title that is Keyword Rich. I focus my efforts 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. Never 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 Website at all the Bookmarking Sites it is time to move on to bookmarking all Websites you know of that are linking to yours. These can be other Blogs or Websites that you own, or sites of friends, family, link trade partners, etc. Make sure you bookmark the specific page on their Website that is pointing to yours, as this is what will help Google and other Search Engines find your site.

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

Once you have made your Web 2.0 property that points back to your Website with your Keyword Phrase, it’s time to Bookmark it. Go through the same process you did with submitting your main Website and submit your Squidoo Lens Site to the Bookmarking Sites with a Keyword Rich title, description and popular tags.

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