Yeah, it's happened to me before too. Before I began bookmarking other peoples content. It's perfectly OK to bookmark 30 sites a day as long as they're not all yours. In fact this is what the social bookmarking sites want and google has no problem with it. Isn't activity what all sites want. The only time it's ever a problem for google or the social sites themselves is when it's clearly not natural looking and simply a grey hat ploy. cheers, todd Hey Mark, thanks!

All socialmarker does is help you navigate to each of the different bookmarking sites and quickly enter in your bookmark info. It's simply a productivity tool. What it does is no different than if you went to each site manually and entered in the bookmark info. In fact from google's perspective it has no way to know if you used socialmarker or not. One caveat is that you would be wise to not use the exact same comments for every bookmark site and don't always bookmark every post to every bookmark site. Skip some book mark sites this time and then hit them next time. Just mix it up a bit and you;ll have no problems. Just remember to bookmark other peoples stuff as well and it will all be as natural as apple pie :) todd Hey James,

Many just use multiple user names. However, your right, the entire URL will get blacklisted by Google, so it wouldn't matter who bookmarked it. I've had that happen to me..... Who hasn't.

Social bookmarking, and all the automation tools on it, is pretty much normal these days in trying to grey hat the search engines.

However, your right, the entire URL will get blacklisted by Google, so it wouldn’t matter who bookmarked it.

I’ve had that happen to me….. Who hasn’t.

And you know the real shame is that you can get even more benefit by bookmarking (and pinging) other sites that are linking TO you. This way you get the benefit of spreading the love while at the same time giving the links to your site a boost. People really don't get this so perhaps it will be a new blog posts in the next few days. cheers, todd @rob -

I think a lot of people think they only have time to bookmark or submit their own stuff but they're missing out big time. I actually get a fair amount of traffic from people clicking through my Digg comments to my site because I left a useful comment on Digg for someone else's blog post. Of course the comment is intended to intrigue them to click to me :). Great post.

I completely agree with you. Usually the only time I submit my own stuff is when I really want to control the headline and description for the submission. If it's a key submission for a campaign then I'll do it. t @Normal Joe -
hey thanks joe!

I completely agree with you. Usually the only time I submit my own stuff is when I really want to control the headline and description for the submission. If it’s a key submission for a campaign then I’ll do it.

I think many miss the point with social bookmarking. Constantly submitting your own stuff will not help you at all...like you said. Maybe only in the beginning. But being active and bookmarking others....and WRITING GOOD CONTENT will help you get bookmarked too. I don't really have any "bookmarking" strategy, I just bookmark what I like....and if I am really proud of an article of my own I'll submit it...I don't do so very often though. Good stuff Todd!
