SEO Benefits of Jiggling the Web

There were a lot of questions about what I said in the last newsletter about, “The Secret to Top Search Engine Rankings.”

Here are the statements that made all the ruckus:

“First I make a post to my blog. Second, I submit a snippet of the post to social news sites like Digg and Propeller.”

“I then bookmark my Digg and Propeller snippet pages on social bookmarking sites like Delicious, Reddit and StumbleUpon. I then ping the bookmark RSS feeds using services like Autopinger and Pingomatic.”

Most questions were along these lines:

“Do you use your real name in your Digg and Propeller profiles, or do you setup a pen name and email?”

“When you say bookmark the snippet, do you actually bookmark the Digg and Propeller page?”

“What is the SEO benefit of all this Web2.0 stuff?”

“Any help clearing this up would be much appreciated.”

Yes I use my real name for promoting my IMS blog postings. I’m careful not to “over do” the web2.0 promotions and just add them into my marketing mix.

I do – however – have alternate accounts that I use for “other” promotional purposes such as affiliate revenue. I have a pen name, use a different browser, clear cookies and my cache after each round of posts. So really… I do both. Bleached white hat for my stuff… a little “beige” for the others. 😉

Yes, you understood what I said… You actually bookmark the individual posts – the snippet pages – from the Digg and Propeller type sites, with a few social bookmarking sites. The SEO benefit comes shortly.

The process – as I call it – is Jiggling the Web.

(And no… you can’t do it the other way round. If the search engines already spidered your blog post on their own, you won’t get any additional SEO benefit by jiggling the web. So it’s important that you do the web2.0 promotion right after you post.)

The Ping calls the spiders to the RSS feeds of your social bookmark pages. (Cant find the RSS feed? Check your profile page that holds all of your bookmarks and ping that RSS feed instead. Sneaky huh?)

The spiders get “excited” about finding links from your bookmarks to the social news sites. They want to find out what all the commotion is about – that you’ve created – and finally arrive at your original blog post.

What happens is the process of ping -> bookmark -> social news -> blog post – acts as leverage, a catalyst that will usually boost the original blog post to the top of the rankings.

If you’ve gone after a mid to long tail search term, and included the search term in the social news post titles, you’ll probably end up owning a top search engine position for that keyword phrase.

I’ll probably make a workbook out the methods I’ve been using. But first, I wanted to be sure that the experiments were repeatable.

I did an article for my blog called, “What is my Destiny” and it took a couple of days for it to show up in the search results. It got parked in the top 5 at Google and Yahoo, and the last time I checked, it was still there. 🙂

And if the page does fall in position, it’s easy enough to do another round of web2.0 promotions, to get it – or another page just like it – back up in the rankings.

Go on… go jiggle the web. It makes SEO fun again… And the benefits? The traffic is clicking as we speak.
