Blogging and social bookmarking go together like peas and carrots or pain and marriage.  (Hope my wife doesn’t read that part)  If you are blogging and not social bookmarking then you are not realizing the full potential of your blogging strategy.  If you are not using social bookmarking then read on to see why you should.

Social bookmarking consists of placing the details of your blog post in an online social directory.  This practice allows other people to read your blog and in some instances even to vote on your post.

Hopefully you are blogging on some what of a consistent basis. Once or twice a week to start then when you get the hang of it more often as your schedule allows.  Just don’t let your blog go dormant potentially loosing any momentum you may have built up.

Bookmark your blog post to as many relevant directories as you want, note the keyword relevant.  Most blogging platforms such as WordPress let you add a social bookmarking plug-in allowing you to bookmark your post.

There are several bookmarking services such as the one I use called Onlywire.  Onlywire lets you bookmark your post to multiple directories with one button click, a big time saver.

Initial setup takes a while because you have to sign up individually with each directory but once you have all your user names and passwords plugged into your Onlywire account it is real easy to bookmark your post.

An important part of bookmarking your post is to include the proper keywords that you have used in your article.  So it is important that you do some good keyword research and write a quality article for the search engines to pick up on.

For maximum blogging performance, you need to develop a long list of keywords to use for your posts.  Long tailed keywords are a great way to get your blog post read.  Be sure to tag your post with your chosen keywords then when you bookmark your post include a short summary with your keywords in it.

Until you see the traffic that comes with social bookmarking you will not be able to appreciate how great it really is.  Traffic will not only come from social directories but from the search engines that discover your post.  So start your social bookmarking campaign today and start reaping the benefits that come with it.  Good luck and best wishes, Tim Stokes.
