Work At Home – A Step Up With Social Bookmarking

Every single individual who utilizes the internet to work at home must constantly strive to outshine the competition. So how do you do this? Well, one method which is highly acclaimed is social bookmarking. Social bookmarking is one of the best, yet most underutilized methods of driving targeted traffic to your webpages. I cannot stress enough that if you are a work at home entrepreneur, you should be consistently bookmarking your webpages.

Nonetheless, social bookmarking may be a relatively foreign concept to you. If this is the case, you undoubtedly have some questions which need to be answered. Specifically, social bookmarking is a means by which you are able to store all of your links to content all over the internet in one central location. This central location is what is known as a social bookmarking website, such as Delicious, StumbleUpon, Propeller, etc. Therefore, whenever you wish to go back and view a website which you bookmarked, you can just log into your account, and click on the link. Furthermore, other users can search the social bookmarking website, and find the link which you have bookmarked on the topic for which they were searching.

So how does social bookmarking work in action? Well, when a webpage is bookmarked on a social bookmarking website, a unique URL is assigned to it. This URL will link directly to the webpage. This is highly valuable because search engines tend to give a lot of weight to social bookmarking websites. Therefore, a URL from a social bookmarking website often ranks high very quickly in the search engines for relevant keywords. Additionally, since the social bookmark is pointing directly at your website, you are receiving a highly valuable one way link. As you may already know, one way links to your website are a major factor in your website’s ability to rank in the search engines.

So as you can see, the benefits of social bookmarking are multiple for those of us who work at home. First, others are able to search and find our bookmarks, thus finding our content. Second, we can achieve search engine rankings via our social bookmarks for key terms that our websites will have difficulty ranking for on their own. Therefore, our website will receive traffic from targeted keywords via its social bookmarks. Third, social bookmarking provides our website with one way links which contribute to it moving up in the search engine results pages. Can you see the value of social bookmarking yet?
