Hi Peter,
I would say no It will not work for you if you do nothing but start adding your links to dozens of social bookmarking websites, Google or any other search engine will start ignoring your website. check my website http://www.rameezulhaq.com you will not find a single link from a social bookmarking website. and Currently I am ranked in top 5 for most of my primary keywordsHi Rameez
you are right websites with dozen of links of social bookmarking are mostly ignored or "dropped" by the crawlers for instance you can also check my website :https://humayounmussawar.com/ doesn't contain any link from social book marking site and my ranking and traffic both are good -
@mikeroberts Question for you - what if some spammer has added your url to a list then started copy pasting the list all over the Internet? Plus uses anchor text that has nothing to do with your site?
I've deleted the forum posts on my site they link back to - but am concerned this will give me too many 4xx errors. all links in forum posts are no follow,

Hi Peter,
It is basically a far old way but most people still do it. If your check my website https://iamrafay.com you will not see any of the social bookmarks links because the time has gone for using it. I hope it helps.

I agree with Mike. Stay away from automated tools if possible. One of the major social bookmarking sites is StumbleUpon, I believe you can also promote pages on The Youth International Pakistani Newspaper site as well. Just like every other social site, you will want to be somewhat active and contribute in order to get the best value.

I agree with the Mike that Social Bookmarking does work but not as much impact like it does before. If you really want to rank your on keywords you need to do your work on high authority sites. You can check my site https://www.umeranees.com and you will find less social bookmarking but find links from the high authority sites. Hope this comment will help you!

No automated software for linking is beneficial for your search engine rankings, and it's a good way to do more damage than good.
Create great, unique - query friendly copy and attract incoming / viral links from that. There is no shortcut to SEO.

Social bookmarking sites can be crawled and indexed by the Search Engines whereas most social media platforms likes Facebook and Twitter are not usually indexed and links are nofollowed. Starting a blog and regularly adding original content will help your site. Linking should be as natural as possible. Don't buy into any of those linking packages out there as they are likely to get you algorithmically penalized.

So basically it's probably best if I manually create the accounts? Is it either worth it other than facebook, twitter and google plus?
I know this is probably going a little off topic, however I'm fairly new to SEO so i could do with all the help i can get. I am currently trying to get my domain ranked www.van-plus.com for some keywords. What method's do you use? I've found a few ways but I think they seem spammy:
1. 20 x 2.0 links, 25 PR 1 links , 1 youtube linke, 100 social bookmarks, 20 -50 wiki links.
2. Concentrate more on blogs and creating 2.0 but with very varied anchor text. And also making sure I link something useful to people.
Thanks very much! Sorry to go off topic, I am so keen to learn it's unreal!

Social Bookmarking does still work but not as well as it may have in the past. It can still be a viable way to get traffic to your site but not necessarily always the most qualified traffic. Personally I'd say to stay away from any social bookmarking tools that will automate things for you because that will be a bit of a red flag if you're too spammy with adding your links. A more natural approach to getting your pages added to social bookmarking sites is the better way to go. Just don't expect it to magically increase you rankings, conversions, etc.

Should links to your social media accounts be followed?
Hi There, Just wondering if you guys (and girls) think that your links to social media accounts be followed or nofollow? This includes sitewide header/footer links and other text links littered throughout the site. Includes Twitter, FB, Pinterest and G+ specifically (for my site anyway). Thanks in advance!
