Has Your Website Been Banned From Social Bookmarking Sites

If You Never Want Your Website To Be Banned From social bookmarking Sites Then You Will Want To Read This…

Are you actively promoting your sites in the many forums across the internet. If you are then you really need to be re-thinking your marketing strategy… I know what your thinking, hey but all the big name marketers tell you to do this by placing your signatures at the bottom of any relevant posts that you write in the forums and blogs.

But did they also tell you to actively ask people to promote your site on the social bookmarking sites as well… The short answer is NO.

Why Has My Web Site Been Banned…

This is just one possible reasons for getting banned that I have seen first hand… I am sure there are others as well so let us know.

When you write your signature files for all the forum posts you are going to submit to promote your site online there is one thing that you should not do and that is actually ask anyone that is reading your forum post to click on that link and then bookmark your site in bookmarking sites such as Stumble Upon just as an example.

What is starting to surface is the fact that social bookmarking services have started to track this activity and if they become aware of any reviews or bookmarks appearing in their directories that have specifically come from forums then you are running the chance of having not your account closed but your website banned from being submitted to these sites.

Which at the end of the day is the worst thing that could actually happen  to an affiliate marketer or any online business. I had this happen to me some months back on one of the social networking sites to a huge mis-understanding that was in fact out of my control.

Only now has it been rectified and my site is now again able to be published on that site.

Always Remember This When Using Forum Signature Files…

That if you are participating in a forum that has 100’s of members and they all start to click on your signature link to help promote your site and all from the same URL or forum the social bookmarking sites will become very suspicious. You have no recourse if they decide to take action.

So How Do You Avoid This From Happening To Your Website?

Well you can first start by no longer asking anyone to bookmark or promote your site in the forums and secondly maybe break your site URL  like this affiliatexfiles[dot]com so it is not an active link in the forum. That way this can no longer happen even by accident, because even though the person may not ever have the intention of bookmarking you but follow the link to your site and then bookmark you, it can still be tracked back to the point of origin.

After all if you are contributing quality information in the forum it is only natural that anyone reading your posts will eventually come to your site to find out more about you and your business.

It all comes down to not taking short cuts and giving your site visitors quality content that they find useful and then they should automatically want to bookmark and circulate your content across the internet for you.

This Is Something For Everyone To Remember…

If you find a really good post in a forum and want to follow the signature link their actual site then simply do this…

Highlight the URL with your mouse, then copy, open up a new browser window and paste the URL in there now you are free from any connections with any forums and can freely browse the site and Tweet it or Bookmark it without any repercussions for the website owner or in some cases the forum as well.

This has currently happened to six associates of mine and usually they do not know that it has happened until someone shoots them an email saying they tried to Bookmark their website in one of the many bookmarking sites available but it would not be accepted.

By simply following these easy steps you will be able to keep yourself safe and others from having their websites banned from the social networking sites. I am definitely not saying not to use your forum signatures what I am saying though is do not encourage people to click on them for the purpose of bookmarking your site in the services.
