A Complete List of Do Follow Social Bookmarking Sites
First of all, since I always like paying special attention to beginners, I’d like to explain exactly what do follow social bookmarking sites are. Social bookmarking sites, in order to prevent spammy submissions, usually add no follows, which are basically an instruction that the Google bot gets telling it not to pay attention to the link on their site towards yours.
Therefore, the link does not enhance your site’s PageRank, which is one of the most, if not the most important factor to get top spots on Google.
Are these links useless then? The answer is no. They are still useful if you want traffic, publicity for your site and reader interest, among other things. However, there are do follow social bookmarking sites out there. Right now, we’re talking about smaller websites, not the most famous, but submission is useful. It won’t replace a quality SEO and social media marketing strategy, but it can be an interesting part of it.
Here is a very complete list of some do follow social bookmarking sites which I’ve put together. You might find more spam than usual here, and remember that these sites tend to appear and disappear fast – you might have to really go through the list and re-check it once in a while – but they are still a valid option:

So how do we discover nofollow links anyway? Although I’m usually a Google Chrome user, for this I recommend using the Mozilla Firefox browser, because it enables you to install what are called add-ons. If you search for ‘firefox nofollow addon’, you will be able to install a number of programs that mark nofollow links with red highlighting – a very useful trick for any webmaster.
Whenever you go into a website which is all marked in red, you’ll know that links placed there are not useful for SEO purposes. On the other hand, if there’s no red highlighting, you’re good to go.
Other good ways to get do follow links is by submitting work you write to certain PR (or Press Release) sites. While traffic on these isn’t generally huge, the do follow links are valuable: just the same situation as with the do follow social bookmarking sites we listed before.
These PR sites don’t value quality content as much, so it’s fine to submit less newsworthy or informative items, such as announcements about your business, which – let’s face it – might be a little bit less interesting to a general public.

Stay Active: Social Bookmarking Marketing
For me, rule number#1 on social bookmarking marketing is to stay active. Having an online presence on social media alone is not nearly enough. You need to give the users something, not just be happy with appearing on social bookmarking sites once in a while. That’s work you just do for yourself, not in a useful way, but so that you can say: my company is there.
But it’s not just about being there, it’s about getting something out of it. This can only be done by staying active consistently, by producing, posting, sharing and tweeting informative content, interesting images, and relevant videos.
And don’t keep it at that. Also complement this activity by responding to comments, sharing content on social bookmarking sites, commenting on other relevant posts and pages, using the “Like” feature on Facebook, and retweeting. By putting in a few minutes every day, and without making too much of an effort, you will be able to see very positive results for your site.
And not only that: by sharing your experience with other users, you in turn will probably learn lots of useful information. Years ago, businesses would have killed to get the kind of free feedback you can get with the Internet.
So, getting specifically into social bookmarking marketing, you’ll be wanting to share interesting posts from other websites, not only yours, and commenting on other people’s activity plus participating in communities which target your niche market.
Try to present yourself not as somebody trying to make money, but as a professional willing to offer good advice and ready to hear feedback from both experienced and inexperienced users. Both can give you valuable insight to different things, from the layout or colors of your pages to things more related to your business.
Keep your eyes and ears open and the time you spend on social bookmarking sites will be an investment. So even if you start out with few resources, the information you can gather from your users can set you ahead of your competitors.
Social bookmarking marketing, like any kind of Internet marketing, is all about the community, at least to me. If you depend on high volumes of traffic exclusively instead of having a loyal group of regular visitors, your income will dry out under any kind of SEO related pressure. Lots of companies went down in just a few weeks when Google last changed its algorithm. You can defend your business against algorithm changes by keeping a good base of followers who will go to you no matter what your position in Google is.
Social bookmarking can be one of the best ways to accomplish this, not only by engaging other users but by staying updated on the latest news in your business niche.

The Secrets of Social Bookmarking for SEO
By now you might know that most good social bookmarking sites place no follow commands on links, meaning that these are not useful for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategies. So, you may rightly ask yourself if having a social bookmarking strategy is not helpful for getting top spots on Google. Is social bookmarking for SEO useless? Happily, the answer is no.
First of all, widespread exposition to your content on big sites can get you noticed on other, smaller sites that dofollow links. By having your work exposed on prestigious sites, you yourself gain prestige. Indirectly, this means links because people will not only read your current work, but will also be more likely to read your future work if you become a respected voice in your niche market.
Secondly, there are a number of useful social bookmarking for SEO sites which do follow links back. These websites are smaller in size and seem to appear and disappear a lot, so while they are not great in the long term, they are useful for a one time boost. Mind you, they won’t be sending lots of traffic your way, but they are providing a backlink to your site: no more and no less.
But there is a more important factor to take into account and which has to do with SEO and its dangers. A recent change in Google’s algorithm left thousands of companies in the U.S. floundering when they suddenly found they had dropped full pages on their Google rankings.They had gone from making a living to making virtually nothing in just one day.
Social bookmarking can protect you against this. If you share helpful and important content on delicious or any other site, and your business is good, you can ‘transfer’ a portion of the community onto your site and make them regular clients. In this way, not only will you see a surge in revenue, but you will also protect your business against these sudden modifications in the Google algorithm.
In conclusion, social bookmarking for SEO is mainly an indirect process, but a useful one as long as you remember that content is still king and that you work patiently. By spending less than an hour a day – every day! – engaging users and luring them to your site, you will see solid long term results which will bring about a lot of positives for your business, making it more solid against the unforeseen changes that Google brings about.
I know, I just said content is king and some SEO’s out there may be wringing their hands. But that’s the whole point of a good social bookmarking for SEO strategy (aside from participation): sharing great content and getting it noticed by lots of other users and websites.
