If you are relatively new to creating content for the Internet, then this is for you. I am going to give you a few simple, but effective tips to help get your internet content seen and heard!

For those of you who are not even sure what the heck I mean by social bookmarking, I would like to guide you to an informative article on social bookmarking that will explain in greater detail just what it is. In a nutshell, social bookmarking increases your ranking and visibility on search engines like Google, MSN, Yahoo and many others.

Every time you write an article, you are going to want to bookmark it. There are many sites to choose from to bookmark your content. A great place to start is Social Marker.com website. This site actually lists all the bookmarking sites you can use. You may also request to only see the "dofollow" sites versus the "nofollow" sites.

Right now you may be asking yourself the same question I did: What the heck is the difference between a dofollow and a nofollow? Let me try and answer that as easily and as briefly as I can.

In all reality, there really is no such thing as a dofollow. It's basically the absence of a nofollow. By calling it a dofollow, it helps others to know what we are talking about.

When a spider is crawling around and lands on your page, then comes across one of your links, if you are using a nofollow tag in your link, you are telling the spider not to follow your link.

An example of a good place to use a nofollow tag is on your blog comments. Because blog comments usually get a high page rank, blogs have become a prime target for spammers.

Okay, back to social bookmarking. There are many bookmarking sites to choose from. I recommend that you choose a minimum of three to five sites to consistently bookmark your articles and those of other writers each day. This is where a Golden Rule applies, "Due unto others....." I always bookmark other people's content because I certainly want people who are reading my information to bookmark my articles!

Don't set a pattern when you are bookmarking. This means that if you write an article, you may bookmark that article on one social site today, and then tomorrow, bookmark it on another. Don't bookmark your article on all your bookmarking sites at on the same day. Don't create any type of pattern. Starch engines pick up on that and then they tend to penalize you for it. This is looked at as spamming and the search engines will not rank you well if they consider you are spamming.

Keep track of where you bookmark. I keep an Excel spreadsheet where I list the article I am bookmarking along with the URL and then the sites I have placed my bookmarks at. This way you don't run the risk of bookmarking too much in the same day or having duplicate bookmarks.

If you haven't already started social bookmarking; get into the daily habit today. It'll increase your rankings with the search engines which will increase your traffic of those finding your content and actually reading it!
