 Posted: Wed Nov 07, 2007 1:16 pm Post subject: Is bookmarking mod good or bad for SEO |
|
|
I have recently added a bookmarking mod to my phpbb forum. It has placed links and graphics at the top of each topic.
Now I have just checked Google - http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk&hl=en&start=270&sa=N
And instead of having the topic line at the top of each description for the topic it says "Bookmark This Page Bookmark in co.mments · Bookmark in delicious · Bookmark in digg · Bookmark in blogmarks · Bookmark in blinklist · Bookmark in ..."
Is this going to be bad for SEO?
You can see the mod by clicking on the DIY forum link in my sig and then viewing a topic.
Thanks in advance

Social bookmark links are good because they increase the probability to have backlinks from the social bookmarking services listed, but, they still are external links, and can be PR leaks.
They can as well increase the weight of the page, and the text part is not really interesting.
So that's why our Simple social bookmarking mod uses JS to build the output, bots only see :
| Code: | <script language="javascript">
social_bookmarks();
</script> |
But users with JS (I think we can say that the majority of the people using social back-linking uses as well JS) will have the full output, as you can see on this page bellow.
Of course, you can easily put the code wherever you prefer and adapt it for any site. |

Thanks 
I have removed the bookmarking script that I had installed and replaced it with the phpbb seo one.
My pages seem to be loading faster already as the last mod seemed to take a while for the images to load.
Thanks very much  |

But of course
The mod's install is designed for phpBB, but, the mod's principle can work with any page on the web.

Excellent,
Thanks
By the way I have been approached my Kontera and should implement it soon on my site. |

I have tried to get the mod to work with static pages, but for some reason my pages do not seem to like it when I copy this into the page-
| Code: | // www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN - Simple Social Bookmarks
'U_SBOOKMARK_JS' => "sbjs/{$board_config['default_lang']}/bookmarks.js",
// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END - Simple Social Bookmarks |
I added this line beneath the line on my page that points to the css page-
| Code: | | <script src="{U_SBOOKMARK_JS}" type="text/javascript"></script> |
and I added this line where I want the bookmarks to appear-
| Code: | <script language="javascript">
social_bookmarks();
</script> |
I'm not sure why it is not working, but feel it is something to do with the first piece of code?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can advise. |

You just need to add :
| Code: | | <script src="http://www.example.com/path/to/bookmarks.js" type="text/javascript"></script> |
, replacing -www.example.com/path/to/ with the proper information, before :
in your other pages, and then :
| Code: | <script language="javascript">
social_bookmarks();
</script> |
where you want the bookmarking code to show up. The first piece of code you mentioned is only useful within phpBB.
You may want to use a dedicated bookmarks.js file for the site in a separate dir from the forum one, in order to adapt it a bit to your site design. Have a look in the bookmarks.js file, you can change the html output pretty easily.

Might I suggest a different route, use a javascript only solution like primadd. If you remove the no-script block you can be sure to not have it indexed at all.
See -http://primadd.net/plugins/phpbb3/ for the plugin, albeit if you want to remove the no script part you either have to modify the plugin or add the code by hand to your template.*
*then again, since to my knowledge there aren't any automated phpbb3 plugin managers you have to apply it by hand anyways.
if you have any questions or suggestions feel free to contact me by pm or email (listed on page  )
cheers

| But this is what the mod we are talking about is doing, all js. Makes your post even closer to spam |
