I definitely don't plan this to be my only strategy.

I have successful websites ranking well for some pretty competetive keywords. Besides social media signals, established blog mentions etc. I thought this could give the website an additional bump to rank for some other competetive keywords.

I don't see anything bad in manually creating links on different (about 50) social bookmarking services. Is this method labeled as White Hat?

I was wondering if it would be fine to create Tier 2 linking (probably blog comments) for indexing of the social bookmarking links?

Please share your thoughts on the topic.

The page I'm talking about is more like an explanation about an offered service, but it doesn't have any on-page optimization. Great response. I will make sure to update the page and the entire website for that matter.

One of the pages on the website is #7 on the first page for a highly competetive keyword. Since I would like to improve rankings and the page is not optimized (e.g. keyword density is 0), is it SEO-wise to edit an article and create a good on-page optimization? Of course, the ultimate goal is to be in TOP 3 for a specific keyword.
