What is Shetoldme.com?

At Shetoldme.com, you can submit your favorite articles, websites, images, videos, and even your own content. An Adsense revenue-sharing site, you can earn Adsense revenue and build backlinks too. All you have to do is submit the url, title, and a short scoop (a short summary) of your favorite site. Your scoop has to be at least 200 characters and not any longer than 5,000 characters. If you want, you can also paste in the first few sentences of the submission in the scoop box, but they do not recommend that. In return, Shetoldme.com creates a page with the title, a description, a screenshot, and a link to the submitted website.

Build Backlinks to Promote your Website

If your new to search engine optimization (SEO), a backlink can be defined as a website that points back to or links to your website. Building backlinks to your website is one of the most important SEO tasks you can do to increase traffic to your website. Essentially, Google considers backlinks as a vote of popularity for your site. The more backlinks pointing to your website, the more popular Google deems your website.

For those writers with Hubpages, I'll tell you one more benefit of Shetoldme.com. Tonight, I did allintitle searchs with my url keywords I've used on Hubpages. My hubs I've linked to Shetoldme are coming up one to two pages ahead of the original hubpage articles. In fact, sometimes the original articles don't come up at all. So apparently, it seems like Shetoldme is ranking higher in Google than Hubpages right now.

In addition to the number of backlinks your website has, the quality of the backlinks are important too. When other sites link to your website, several factors are important. First, is the backlink revelant to your website? Secondly, does the back link use keywords you are optimizing your website for? And third, what is the pagerank of the backlink? Pagerank is based on link popularity and the number of backlinks. According to the Google toolbar, the pagerank of Shetoldme.com is 5.

Although many people claim that content is king, and if you write quaity content, people will come to your website, this isn't totally true. Although quality content certainly is important, if your website isn't indexed or it doesn't come up very high in the search engine results page (SERP), people won't be able to find your website to read your content. However, after people find your site, if you have unique, quality-written content, they will naturally backlink to your website. However, until then, you need to help the process along by building your own backs. Although this can be accomplished in several ways, Shetoldme.com is one of the easier ways.

Earn Adsense at the Same Time

In addition to building backlinks, you also have the opportunity to earn Adsense revenue. If you're unfamiliar with Adsense, Adsense is a contextual advertising program run by Google. While Google advertisers bid on advertisements for different keywords, Google publishers display these advertisements on their websites, and they get paid a varying amount for each internet user that clicks on one of these ads.

After shetoldme.com creates a page linking to your submitted site, they place up to three Adsense blocks on the link page. If you're an Adsense publisher, the ad block closest to the title of your link will have you Adsense publisher information. On this ad block, you will recieve 100% of the Adsense revenue. Shetoldme will recieve the revenue from the other ad blocks.

How to Join

As you can see, joining she Shetoldme.com has many benefits. First, it introduces more people to your website. Secondly, it helps you build valuable backlinks. And last but not least, you can earn Adsense revenue. In return, all you have to do is submit the url, title, and a simple scoop about your favorite websites and participate in voting and commenting on other member's submissions if you wish.

Hi Seamist - I just signed up so who knows, you may make some bucks ! It seems a bit more complicated than hubpages though.

Hi Singular Investor

Great! I have already noticed an increase after bookmarking my hubs there. If you have questions on Hubpages or otherwise, just send an email.

Hi Vox Vocis

You're welcome. I'll tell you one thing I like about them --- They don't care if you bookmark just your hubs. Some social bookmarking sites like jumptags will ban you for bookmarking just your own hubs because they say it's self-promoting. The other things I like about them --- I have bookmarked my hubs at several social bookmarking sites yet I have made the most amount of money with them.

What´s bad about self-promoting? (ha ha ha) Who´s going to promote me if not me myself and I? Just kidding...I will use those sites but I need to get acquanited with all there is out there concerning marketing, promoting and so on. I decided to optimize my hubs with keywords first (some of them don´t rank well) and then use what you recommended in your hub. Thanks for valuable info!

Hi vox vocis

I assume you interested in the social bookmarking sites to get your hubs and or websites higher in the SERPs. Some more great sites are Redgage, Folkd, and Mr-Wong. While some pay adsense, others do not, but they all have fairly high pageranks.

And although I am sure you already know this, you can also comment on topic-related blogs and forums to increase your SERP. I don't like doing that as much because it is more time-consuming when I have to check the all out first to find out if they're dofollow or nofollow.

Best of luck in all your endeavors!

Thanks for the info SEAMIST. But they take a lot of time to approve your new account. Now, 5 days have been passed and my account is still pending approval.

Hi Sami

I don't remember if they took a long time to approve my account or not. Regardless, shetoldme is definitely my favorite. You don't have to write a very long bookmark, and even better, they don't ban you for spam. On some of these sites, you have to bookmark three or four other sites for everyone of yours so you don't get banned. That ends up being pretty time consuming. Good luck, Sami!
