When it comes to Online Marketing, using Social Media is key.

With the rise of Social Media, Internet Marketing has become a constantly changing process, adapting to new Technologies and techniques as they arrive.

It is now more important than ever to have a Plan in place before you set out on any Website Marketing ventures.

Using a Social Bookmarking Strategy can and will save you time and money in the long run.

So what is the best Social Bookmarking Strategy to use to market your site?

Well, I don’t know what the BEST one is – that depends on how you define the word, but I can share with you the strategy that I personally use to market my Sites that has proven to be a success for me.

First, I create accounts at all of the social bookmarking sites that I want to include in my Social Bookmarking Strategy.

This can be a tedious and time consuming task, so if you have the funds do yourself a favor and purchase some automated Marketing Software Strategy software to speed the process up for you and save you the headache.

Once that is complete I social bookmark the main page of my Site with a Keyword Rich Title.

I focus my time on 1 Keyword at a time, so choose just 1 Keyword for now (I personally recommend using Keyword Software to find money making Keywords that are of low competition and high converting.

Don’t underestimate the power of the Keyword Research process.

Also include the Keyword Phrase in your Tags and choose tags that are popular and relevant to your Website.

Now that you have Bookmarked your main Website at all the various Bookmarking Websites it’s time to move on to bookmarking all Sites you know of that are linking to yours. These can be other Websites that you own, or sites of friends, family, link trade partners, etc.

Make sure you bookmark the page on their Website that is linking to yours, as that is what will help Google and other Search Engines find your site.

The next thing I usually do in my Social Bookmarking Strategy is make a Web 2.0 Property. I personally prefer Squidoo Lenses over any other Sites. Simply go to Squidoo, make an account and place content from your Website onto the personal Squidoo Lens page. Include at least 1 link on your Squidoo Lens that points back to your main Website.

Also, be sure to anchor the link with the Keyword Phrase you chose earlier.

Once you’ve made your Web 2.0 property that points back to your site it’s time to Bookmark it.

You are going to repeat the same process you did with submitting your main Webpage and submit your Squidoo Lens Site to the Bookmarking Websites with a Keyword Rich title, description and popular tags. If you want to go the extra mile with your promotion you can also bookmark any RSS Profiles you have created that point to your site.

In short, bookmark anything and everything that links back to your site. The easier you make it for Google and other Search Engines to find your Site with your Keyword Phrase, the faster and more highly it will rank in the search engine results.
