A Great Web 2.0 SEO tool

During the I posted about earlier Rob Fore talked about the importance of social media, or web 2.0, sites in today's search engine optimization strategies. Rob is a master of SEO. He can get on the front page of google for just about any search term. So when he mentioned a free tool, I had to check it out. The website is socialadr.com and it automatically submits your webpage to over 25 social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, Google +1, Stumbleupon, and Linkedin .
How it works it simple. You set up accounts to all these sites (for $11 Socialadr will do it for you), then you are given other peoples bookmarks in your share queue. You share these bookmarks to earn credits which will result in your bookmark being shared by others. It is important to note this isn't really about advertising, it is about creating web 2.0 backlinks. While people will see your website in your share queue, I wouldn't count on people viewing it from there. Take that as a bonus if it comes. Here is the beauty of the system in the words of the SocialAdr team:
Free traffic is what I really wanted, which means getting my pages indexed and ranked in the search engines.  That requires backlinks, backlinks, and more backlinks. I got turned on to social bookmarking sites as a great way to build backlinks to my pages...SocialAdr gives me time to work on the important aspects of my business.  Once I've put my pages in, I know I'm going to get hundreds of links pointing back at my site without doing any work at all.  I don't even have to wait for it to finish.  And since SocialAdr is a web-based tool, it works on any computer, any time. One of the best things about SocialAdr is that the bookmarks I'm getting on the social sites aren't all on my own account.  I'm getting links from hundreds of different users on each of the sites.
Take a look and give it a shot. Social media and web 2.0 backlinks are super important in today's SEO enviroment. These backlinks are on sites that Google already ranks highly, so they are given more weight then some free classified site, that many of you probably use now. It's free, its simple and it could mean the difference between being on the first page of google, and making some sales, or the 30th page and not even being read.

Hope that helps,
Tony
