How Does Social Bookmarking Affect Google Ranking?

If you are an online entrepreneur then it is imperative that you promote your site well. And no internet marketing or online promotion strategy is completely successful without a high ranking in the search engines, especially Google. One of the most effective ways to boost traffic to your site is to get into social bookmarking.

It is now a revealed wisdom that in order to get high rankings in search engines, a website must have lots of quality inbound links. And social bookmarking is one of the most effective ways to do just that. It is a web-based service that allows users to store or save lists of links to various web pages that they find useful. Other users with similar interests can view the links by topic, category, tags, or even randomly.

These social bookmarking sites have the potential to direct hundreds or thousands of targeted visitors to your site within a very short time.  It is also evident that higher and more successful Google Ranking might be done on the basis of those pages that users find interesting on social bookmark sites.

To promote your site and business to specific target audience, you must begin submitting articles to the social bookmark sites as soon as you can. Make sure it has good content also, so that others will want to link up with you, and you will be listed on many other pages as well.

Page rank is a statistical assessment used by Google that signifies how popular a site is on the web. Google assumes that when one page links to another site, it is in fact casting a vote for the other site. More votes imply more popularity of the site. Also, the ranking of the site that is casting the vote determines how important the vote itself is. Google calculates a site's importance from the number of votes cast for it.

The fundamental concept behind social bookmarking is that when thousands of people get together, bookmark their desired sites, and employ explicatory tags to each page that they bookmark, some websites will ascend to the top as being more popular. Other users in the network then refer to those pages. Consequently the posting of the links multiply. This in turn amplifies the Page Ranking.
