If when you check in your cpanel you notice that you aren’t capturing all that many links back from the social bookmarking web sites, there is a reason. Numerous social bookmarking sites have added a “rel=”nofollow” tag to your link. It’s a tiny bit of code that conceals your bookmark from the search engines. They never see it. So no link back to your web site.
So why bother? Is social bookmarking defunct?
Not by a longshot! First off even on the sites that do use the nofollow tag, your descriptions are read by the search engines. They apply that info in ascertaining how much of an authority site your website is. And your level of authority site worthiness is what pushes your page rank up.
Second, if on your site in the beginning paragraph of content you place a complete URL to your home page, when visitors go to bookmark your website they will copy that URL and input it into the social site’s submission form. The search engines will see that, and compare that URL to the accompanying content and grant you a link back.
It will not be an anchor link, however. As you can not put anchor text in the social bookmarking sites’ description space Just text. Nevertheless there are benefits to having those links back to your webpage.
On your pages place in your content at the top of the page, where folks will look for a piece to highlite and use for the bookmark, a line like “At http://www.mydogfood.com we strive to help our members learn how to make their own dog food..” That has the URL and the keyword in it.
