Social Bookmarking: One Tool Does It All

In an earlier post we wrote about the benefits of Social Bookmarking. What if I told you that with the press of one button you could send your plog or each post to over 30 different social bookmarking sites? I have come across one tool that does it all for you.

Social Marker from socialmarker.com is a powerful little tool that can be added to the browser or inserted onto your blog – there is also a WordPress plugin available. For Social Marker to work you need to sign up to each of the sites listed. This will take roughly an hour if you wish to sign up to all 31 sites. If your like me, you have probably signed up for a lot of the sites already. You also have the option to select which sites you do (or don’t) want to include.

You will also need to install a tool onto your browsers toolbar or insert the buttons code onto your web or blog page. If you have the toolbar button in place then you only have to select the pages URL, press the button and away it goes. It takes 5 to 10 minutes and your post has been submitted to all sites. Installing the button enables your visitors to quickly submit your page as well.

Why use a tool like this? Social Bookmarking sites provide very quick back links to your posts. The more back links you can acquire the better your Page Rank is going to be. The added benefit of course is that your page or your post will be available to over 30 communities – instantly. If you get just 5 visitors from each of these sites, that is 150 extra visitors – all for 10 minutes work submitting your post. The following is the list of sites that you can currently submit to.
