Link building is essential in order to rank a site on search engines. There are two types of links including one way links and two way links. Two way links are created by exchanging links with another site. Link exchange used to be effective in the past. However, many webmasters abuse this method by exchanging links with unrelated sites that were known spammers. As a result, Google has decrease the value of link exchanges. Nowadays, one way link are the best way to build backlinks for your site. One way to obtain free one way links is through social bookmarking.

Social bookmarking sites are sites that allows users to store and share their web pages with another on the internet. Webmasters can take advantage of social bookmarking sites to promote their websites. By submitting to the social bookmarking site, you will obtain a free one way link to your site. You can submit 1 - 3 links per day. You should not attempt to social bookmark too many post as it will attract the attention of other users. When you submit a post, it will appear on top of the search result in the recent bookmark page. If you keep submitting your page, the search result will be filled with your bookmarks on your website. When people visit the Recent bookmarks page, they will not be able to browse the content which they are looking for. Therefore, the user will report you to site moderators and your links will be removed.

The links displayed on the social bookmarking sites can be dofollow or nofollow. Dofollow means the link will be crawled and indexed by the search engines. Nofollow means that the search engine will ignore the link as if it is not there. Nofollow links have no SEO benefits. When submitting to social bookmarking sites, make sure to check if it is dofollow or nofollow. In this way, you won't waste your time submitting to a nofollow social bookmarking site.

You can find social bookmarking sites by performing a search on your favorite search engine. For example, you can enter the keyword "top social bookmarking sites" in the search box of the search engines like Google or Bing. After you hit enter, you will see a list of result that offer the top social bookmaking site list. You can bookmark the social bookmaking sites so that you can visit frequently.
