Marketing programs from our affiliate network has entered into a brand new era. Nowadays, the search engines are paying attention to websites which are frequently updated with new and unique content. However, making the search engines aware of the fact that your content exists is another matter entirely. This is where social bookmarking comes in. Thus, the purpose of this article will be to discuss social bookmarking, and how it will aid anyone who promotes the products of our affiliate network.
Before I start rambling on about social bookmarking and how it pertains to your success as an affiliate network marketer, allow me to lay some foundation. As you may have heard previously, it is of the utmost importance for affiliate marketers to own a website. Additionally, this website must be geared towards attracting visitors from your niche market. When visitors come to your website, you must provide them with the motivation to provide you with their e-mail address. It is important that you capture visitors‘ e-mail addresses so that you can build your customer marketing base, and market multiple affiliate products to your customers. This bring us back to generating visitors from our niche market, and is where social bookmarking comes in.
If you are becoming anxious because you know little about social bookmarking, relax. It is very straight forward. Essentially, each time you add a new article to your or blog post to your website, a new URL is created. What you want to do, is create bookmarks to this new content by submitting the URL to social bookmarking websites, tagging it with relevant keywords, and submitting it to the appropriate category. The purpose of these social bookmarking websites is to provide you with a venue within which you can store all links to content which you would like to revisit in the future. However, social bookmarking serves more than just this purpose. The truth is that other users of each social bookmarking website enables other users to find your bookmarks. Additionally, the search engines are able to find and rank your bookmarks as well in the search engine results pages. Each bookmark is viewed as a one way link to your website from an authoritative website. These links will ultimately lead to your website or blog ranking in the search engines.
One of the biggest problems which you will face in bookmarking your content is the time commitment. The truth is that to tirelessly bookmark your web pages in multiple social bookmarking websites will take the better part of a day. This is why I strongly suggest that you take advantage of inexpensive software which gives you the capacity to automate the process. The software which I use cost less than $30, and gives me the capacity to submit my new content to a myriad of social bookmarking sites in minutes.
At the end of the day, if you want to make it big either with our affiliate network, or in any aspect of internet marketing, you must implement a multifaceted approach to internet marketing. These efforts should be directed squarely to steering targeted traffic to your website with a short-term strategy, as well as a long-term strategy. Keep in mind that the search engines are always looking for new yet unique content. Additionally, they also want to see that others view this content as valuable. The search engines assess the value of content in large part to the number of one way links pointing at the content, the authority and age of the website providing the link, as well as the age of the link. Social bookmarking provides you with a vehicle not only to provide valuable one way links to your website, but also with a means of immediate targeted traffic.
Social bookmarking is a tool which those of you who promote the products of an Affiliate Network should become in tune with. It is an outstanding way to get traffic to your Affiliate Programs. Take every opportunity to learn everything that you can about social bookmarking.
