Social Media Keywords

The web is constantly changing and you must keep up with it if you want your keywords to rank high in Google. Don’t dismiss or underestimate the important of the social media/bookmarking sites such as FaceBook, MySpace, Digg, Wiki, Del.icio.us, Reddit… they do play a role in how Google ranks your keywords.

You must embrace these new ways of voting for your content. Getting a bookmark in any of these sites do count for more than getting traffic back to  your sites. Despite what Google may officially say, these bookmarks do count.

If your content gets listed in one of these popular bookmark sites – it will give your content a boost in the search engines. I can remember getting a  front page listing in Digg for a rather “throw-away” piece on some interesting facts about the Internet. 

Couple years later that keyword “Internet Facts” will still show my page in the top spot.  Granted this is a useless keyword and not one I have targeted but it just shows the ranking power of these popular media sites can’t be denied.

Getting your content and sites listed in all these bookmarking sites should be one of your strategies if you want higher rankings within Google. I have found adding the simple Addthis.com button will get your content into these sites. These are just small side-battles in your ongoing keyword wars.
