Social Bookmarking (SBM) sites are another great way to get backlinks and massive traffic. All you have to do is just bookmark your webpage to get backlinks to your site. You should also bookmark a few other sites as well so that you don't get flagged for bookmarking only your site.

Our testing has shown that Google and the other search engines place a high value on SBM sites. This is probably because the SBM sites have the ability and authority to "vote" on sites that are submitted by other users of the community. Since the search engines place such a high value on SBM backlinks, SBM is definitely worth your time!

Of course, you may not want to visit each site individually to social bookmark your site. Instead, you should use a free service like SocialMarker (http://www.socialmarker.com/) SocialMarker is designed to reduce the time needed to socially bookmark a website by adding a widget to your browser's toolbar. Then whenever you visit a site that you like, such as your own page :-), you can easily add that page to 48 different social bookmark sites in less than 15 minutes. (Note: best when used with Firefox browser)

Don't forget to add a social bookmark button to your site. (so others can bookmark you)

James, this is an excellent resource. Can you make Sharezone resources "stickies"? This certainly would qualify!

Very good overall introduction to backlinking. I do have a couple of thoughts.

(1) The jury is still out about whether there is added value in getting backlinks from sites in your niche (not talking about getting pass-through traffic, just the backlink value). Many many people feel this is way overrated, me being one of them.

(2) With respect to "do follow", it certainly has a value by google, but really no effect as to yahoo, etc.

(3) You briefly mentioned this sort of thing in the "hitch a ride" section, but IMHO the best and easiest way to get great quality backlinks is from putting links in your profile and forum and web 2.0 properties, where the underlying domain has a high PR. Many of us have had phenomenal success with this linkjuice.

(4) Not everyone agrees as to how much of an issue it is to get tons of backlinks quickly. Many believe that the whole Google sandbox thing is way overrated. If we are talking thousands and thousands to a new domain, then OK. but I don't think throwing a hundred of backlinks at a EZA article a day is going to do anything but help you get to the top of google.
