Link Building with Social Bookmarking Sites

How does social bookmarking sites help for one way link

[nickyjoy]

Can somebody explain me how does social bookmarking sites or by book marking our sites, help us to get a one way link

The links point back to your website and since you're not linking to the social site, it would be considered a one-way link.

Many folks join social networking sites simply to build a profile of their online businesses.

Thanks,

However can u put some more weight in it, in short can you explain me in detail

[celgins]

Any link coming into your site that doesn't have an accompanying outgoing link is considered a "one-way" link. It doesn't matter if it is from a social bookmarking website or a university website.

One-way links have long been considered to carry more weight than reciprocal links.

If you exchange links with a company (they place a link to you on their site and you place a link to them on your site) this is considered a reciprocal link -- not one-way.

It is easier for website owners (especially owners that run a business through their websites) to create one-way links through social bookmarking sites since most are free to join, and do not allow restrictions on the links you can place in your profile.

If your social bookmarking profile allows you to add your favorite links, you may want to add your own website.

Hope that helps.

A lot of us are trying to get our arms around this topic. Isn't this just one of the latest link spam strategies? I'm wondering if most of the social bookmarking sites simply append the rel="nofollow" tag to the backlinks rendering them useless in passing pr love?

I'm not suggesting not posting to SB sites. Just skeptical whether there truly is a collateral SEO benefit as some are suggesting.

I thought they have placed no follow tags on out going links?

Which would de value all link love.

Social bookmarking sites don't give link juice, but the people who visit those sites, then in turn visit yours and link do. Sites like del.icio.us and stumbleupon can be great for doing just that.

Join the communities, submit sites of content related to yours (in the case of reddit and digg they don't have to be related, just good stories). Then after a while people will see that you are a person to follow and befriend. They will then view your profile often, visit your site and possibly link to it. In the case of del.icio.us or stumbleupon, after you have many friends and many links to sites related to yours, submit your site.

The key idea here is that you need to make people believe you are "a person like them" - someone they would like to follow really. And it has to be as natural as possible.

I guess some may view it as link spamming. But it probably depends on how you post the links. For example, if you create profiles in relevent niche social sites, including a link back to your site shouldn't be considered spamming. Even though these links do not add an enormous amount of value to your PR, every IBL helps.

Some do, but others do not.
