    The SEO industry has changed alot over the past few months, what used to work before, stopped working. You obviously know what the deal is, but I can’t wait to see the changes in Google in the next few months.

    Some programs which automate social bookmarking will bookmark automatically some other links and merge these in with your money site links. This makes your bookmarking operation look more natural and it is much less probable to be deleted by an admin. Using one of these programs can greatly increase the effectivity of any link building campaign.
