Socialbot 2.0?

This should help...What you want to do is to link from a site(s) back to the bookmark site's pages that have your links.

There won't be any major negatives if this isn't your only link pattern. You don't want all of your links coming from the same sources.

I reread what I wrote and got a little confused myself.

The goal is simply to get the pages that have links into the engines. This is much more efficient than trying to get new links.

This can be done any number of ways...

Make a list of your referers that are NOT in the engines and put them on a page. Then link to this page from your "power pages"....By this, I mean the pages of your's that get spidered the most often and have the highest page rank.

Of course, you can also add these links directly to your "power pages", again these are pages with high PR and get indexed often.

Also, you can post these to a blog and then blog and ping.

You can even try pinging each referer page directly.

I suggest doing as much of the above as you can, with the intent of getting the engines to visit those referer pages and start counting those as links to your pages.
