If you are trying to build a Tribe of like minded individuals through social media marketing then you really want to take advantage of social bookmarking.
Social bookmarking is tagging a website and saving it for later. Instead of saving them to your web browser, you are saving them to the web. Also, because your bookmarks are online, you can easily share them with friends.
The Benefits of Social Bookmarking…
1. Instant social traffic. A well written news article or blog post has the potential to drive massive traffic to your site.
2. Hundreds of one-way links to your website in a short amount of time.
3. Backlinks appear very quickly in Search Engines. Most links on regular pages often take weeks or months to be indexed. We have seen a majority of our social backlinks get indexed within a couple days.
As a marketer, you can leverage social bookmarking by setting up accounts at these sites and sharing the links to your sites with others. There are tools that let you submit a single page or site to dozens of social bookmarking sites with one click of the mouse, so you´re not entering them all by hand.
One of those tools is called OnlyWire. This Wordpress Plug-in tool is great! Below is a video I made for you to learn how to install and use OnlyWire. Enjoy!

Michael,
and it’s pretty simple to use. It does take a bit of time to set up, but when it’s ready it rocks!
You definitely know about syndication and getting the word out on people’s content. This tool saves me so much time with syndicating my posts to the world…
Thanks for sharing,

Thanks Michael, this info could not have come to me at a better time (divine intervention??). I’ve been working on getting backlinks and just started with a Digg account.
There are so many different bookmarking sites that I just hadn’t taken the time to look into each one….here lies the best possible solution – sweeeeetttt!!!
Just wondering, does it matter if you submit your own posts, or is it better to have others submit them for you?
Thanks again, you’re an awesome leader!
