Bookmarking or Tagging us
You might have heard of the phrase “Web 2.0”. You might have wondered what it’s all about. You’re not alone in that – even industry insiders are confused about what they mean. But in Search Engine Optimisation terms, there are some emerging themes:
Web 2.0 is really about using the power of peer-to-peer social networking to the full. Imagine if when you searched on Yahoo, the top 10 results for that search term are the top 10 recommendations for that search term from other Yahoo! users… Well, you needn’t imagine too much – because it’s already starting to happen under our very noses – and will become increasingly important in future search algorithms.
Yahoo! (incl. del.icio.us) are pioneers in this area, as are emerging tagging sites like wink, digg, technorati and furl. Google have also implemented ‘portable bookmarks’ in version 4.0 of their Toolbar.
In our Submission Guidelines, we have explained the link quality criteria we use to order supplier entries on our directory. Basically, the better the quality of your link to the UK Wedding Directory and our sponsor, the higher your site will appear in the results.
We are now testing the expansion of that rating system to encompass social bookmarking. From now on, we will offer additional rating credit to suppliers who bookmark us with the popular social bookmarking and tagging sites.
All you have to do (to earn one extra rating point) is bookmark the UK Wedding Directory on both Yahoo! and furl using the links on the right, then complete the short form before hitting submit.
To earn a further rating point, bookmark our sponsor, Wedding Invitations 4u, using the second set of links before you submit your form details.
We will use the form details you submit to audit and confirm that you have bookmarked the site(s) and then credit you with additional link rating. Good luck and happy bookmarking!
