Tag and Ping — Social Bookmarking Secrets
I already post this before but until then Tagging, Pinging and Social Bookmarking still confusing many ..
okay let’s review again … 
So, What Is Social Bookmarking ?
Social bookmarking is utilizing a web service, where users create a
public repository of bookmarks pertaining to sites that they like.
The concept of social bookmarking dates back to 1996 with the launch of
itList.com, followed by services like Blink and Hotlinks and many more.
But, the popularity of Social Bookmarking increased with the advent of
the most popular bookmarking site till date, del.icio.us.
Social bookmarking sites organize their content using tags. Social
bookmarking sites are an increasingly popular way to locate, classify,
rank, and share Internet resources through the practice of tagging and
inferences drawn from grouping and analysis of tags.
And What is a Tag?
A tag is basically a keyword. It is a label that you categorize a
website under. For example if I was tagging this website, I would tag it
under “tag and ping”, “tag”, “ping” etc.
Tagging is simply a way to find a website that I bookmark without
remembering where you put it. You can just enter a tag to find websites
that you have marked with certain tags.
The tags act as a way to quickly find your bookmarks without
remembering where you put them. This is why the bookmark sites allow you to
assign more than one tag.
These bookmark sites allow you to share your personal bookmarks with
the public. This is where the term “social” comes into play. When you
bookmark a site other people can also find the site that you bookmarked if
they enter the same tag that you classified the site under.
Not only can you find the sites that you tagged under certain keywords
but so can everyone else.
These bookmarks and tags may seem like geekspeak River, but from an SEO
standpoint these can build you a massive amount of backlinks which seem
to originate from authority sites.
Next, what is “Tag And Ping”?
Black hat SEO experts in the quest to get one way backlinks till now
relied on various methods like blog comment spam and referrer log spam.
The latest technique is using social bookmarking to get one way
backlinks.
And “Tag And Ping” - comes to help. So what’s tag and ping?
It’s a simple process, first you create tags on on social bookmarking
sites and then you ping various aggregator services to visit, index
those tags and include links back to your sites.
So you get high PR backlinks to your sites, in a jiffy!
Sounds simple right?
Using Social Bookmarking Explode Your Site’s Traffic
The secret lies in building your vast network on the various social
bookmarking sites and use it to get your sites indexed fast.
You simply sign up for an account and then post your urls. Each post
requires you to enter the url, a title for the anchor text, a short
description and of course the tags under which you want your link
bookmarked.
Most search engine experts agree that links from authority sites like
the various bookmarking sites are favored by the search engines over
links from other regular sites.
Building a large number of accounts on such authority sites will make
the search engines think that your site is special!
Each Social bookmarking sites have tag pages, which can be thought of
like a category, and each of these pages too have a high page rank.
For example the tag page for the tag “maps” at del.icio.us has a page
rank of 5
Now when you post your url, with say the tag “maps”, your link gets
posted on the tags page for the tag “maps”.
What this means is that you get a PR 5 backlink to your site.
