Page rank is at the top of the priority list for every website and blog. If your page isn't ranked well, no one will find it, you won't have any traffic and business will suffer. The bottom line- you need to rank in the top few results in the Search Engine Results Pages or you won't be able to make a success of your online business. Sure, there may be the rare exception to this rule, but overall, you have to do a whole lot more than just build it before they will come, you have to have your sign out on the road- at the top of the SERPS- to show them the way.

    Social bookmarking sites allow users to create lists of their favorite sites, articles, photos and other online information by posting links to the respective sites on the bookmarking site. Then people who follow you on the bookmarking site can get a look at where you like to surf on the Internet and check out the same things you are checking out. Obviously, the higher your popularity or expert reputation online, the more people you will have respecting the links you post and clicking through to find out what you are learning and sharing.

    Delicious.com is a popular bookmarking site and it is both free and easy to use. To join Delicious.com you simply fill out a quick form with some basic profile information. After that, start bookmarking your online favorites and sharing some link love.

     In order to get the most from bookmarking, you need to categorize your links. Delicious.com and other bookmarking sites require categories, or tags,for the links you post and will offer suggestions based on the URL or the article title. Try to post in the most logical categories, but don't be afraid to get a little creative as well. You can use the popular search buttons on Delicious.com to search for popular sites in your industry as well.

     Most online entrepreneurs- and perhaps bloggers in particular- are not only generous in sharing links to other sites, they are also quite reciprocal. There is a definite 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours' attitude prevalent among most bloggers and affiliate marketers. Most successful entrepreneurs realize that no one is successful in a vacuum and they are more than happy to share the wealth.
