Pending Approval

by far one of our favorite links to obtain. They are powerful, they can be spammed, and they index extremely fast. For all intents and purposes, they are the new “forum links” (forum links used to kill in SEO)

However, these types of links are often misused by most marketers. Most often we will see people:

Blasting their site with them during the first month of creation
Only sending them directly to their site
Leaving a MASSIVE footprint

All of this is bad juju and is going to get your site in trouble. This is also not the best way to use these back links.

How must people use social bookmarks?

More often than not, people will simply send all their back links to their money site and its pages. The logic behind this is: If the links are powerful - The more, the better
Well, this is not how Google sees it. Remember it is all about being natural.

In a natural world:

Would a person socially bookmark every page on a website?
Would they socially bookmark inner pages?
Would they do it on 1001 networks in the span of 5 days?
Would the same site be bookmarked 8 times on one site?

If you answered 'no" for any of the above, then we at least know you got your head on straight (haha). Google will ignore most of these links and will likely frown upon them.

Where can I get these social bookmarks?

There are several places that you can go to buy social bookmarks, such as likes, tweets and G+'s. We will also talk for a bit about Google circles but that deals more-so with authorship and you don't even have to purchase those!

Facebook Likes
Now this is a powerful tool, possibly the most, in your social arsenal. They are a huge factor in helping your website look like it is going "viral" and in helping the big G take notice of you a lot faster. You can purchase these from Fiverr and from some of the WF member's.

Retweets
The power of the Twitter re-tweet also is something not to look over. It is an amazing tool for getting your website out to the masses (and it consists of REAL accounts with REAL people).  Consider someone on a twitter account, Tweeting about your website to 350k+ people. It's pretty astonishing to think of actually. Again, you can find these on the WF or Fiverr.

Google Circles
This is something we really won't go over much, as we have several videos and blog posts on the matter. We also discussed it heavily in our new course, Source Underdog.

However, Google Circle links are a pretty useful tool when trying to obtain Google Authorship. All you need to do is, when you are creating your author account, go out and find people that are interested in similar things as your money site. Then, go out and add them to your circle. 9 times out of 10 they will add you back and this is a great tool in helping Google recognize you as an "expert" in the field.
