The Best Free Social Bookmarking Sites With AdSense Revenue Sharing
What the Heck are Social Bookmarks?
Social bookmarks are a great way to backlink your articles. This gets them indexed faster by search engines, increases page rank (when you use dofollow bookmarks), and can earn you money as well. There are many websites where you can do this - but the format is usually the same: A title, tag field (keywords), short summary (50-75 words), and a category.
Using free social bookmarking sites with a revenue sharing model can be a great way to boost the search engine rank of your blog, website, or articles, and best of all - get paid for doing it. Social bookmarking is one of the most effective ways of backlinking, but it can be a long and ardous process, particularly when you have a lot of content. If you're going to be using free social bookmarking sites that pay a portion of AdSense revenue, at least you'll find you get a nice amount of secondary income along the way.
Here are the best free social bookmarking sites with AdSense revenue share:
I use these free social bookmarking sites for all my articles, and I highly recommend you do to. You can easily add an additional 20% to your earnings, just by using the first three. If you use all of these bookmarks that share AdSense revenue, you could earn an additional 35% if not more.
InfoPirate: My favorite social bookmarking site. My InfoPirate CTR (click through rate) is huge, usually over 50%. I earn between 10% and 15% of what I make off articles just with InfoPirate bookmarks. InfoPirate offers 80% of the AdSense impressions on their content. This means that 80% of the time, your AdSense ads will be displayed on your bookmarks, and 20% of the time InfoPirate will display theirs. A pretty good deal, since their bookmarks get a high number of views compared to other bookmarking sites, and index fairly quickly too. ***Added note, I've earned $17 over the last week on InfoPirate - not bad for the amount of effort required***
Xomba: Probably the best-ranking bookmarking site, Xomba offers a 50% AdSense share. This is lower than InfoPirate, but it's popularity makes up the difference. It's nofollow, so it won't improve your page rank. It is a big mistake to overlook Xomba! You will likely earn 10%-15% of what you do with your articles with Xomba bookmarks, if not more. (***UPDATE: Xomba no longer allows you to bookmark your own content due to spam problems they've been having)
SheToldMe: SheToldMe is currently the third-best free social bookmarking site with AdSense revenue Share. It doesn't rank as well as InfoPirate or Xomba, but it offers an incredible 100% AdSense share! Expect more earnings using SheToldMe.
SquidStop: is another winner that provides 100% AdSense share - plus it's dofollow!
TipDrop: Shares 75% of AdSense impressions, so why not?
YouSayToo: Is nofollow, but like Xomba, don't make the mistake of passing up YouSayToo. It shares 50% of AdSense impressions.
Seekyt: Is a rather new social bookmarking site offering 65% revenue share. It is a dofollow site as well. It's one of the nicest looking social bookmarking sites, and should continue to grow. It will probably be one of the top sites within a year.

This is the first time I hear of Social Bookmarking Sites With Revenue Sharing, This is great, now I get an extra revenue while I bookmark my pages.
It really makes a huge difference. Especially with InfoPirate and Xomba. Thanks for the comment Max!
Thnaks for this info you are expert in using Social Bookmarking and making good money
It'll pay off! Check InfoPirate and Xomba out for sure.
My wife is starting to do the bookmarking for me. I was looking for a list exactly like this. Thanks.
Fantastic! You should see a huge jump in earnings!
Nice list, there are 3 on here that I have never heard of before. I Like the tip! I followed your advice on InfoPirate, you can get to it on Google search if you just put in infopirate. without org or com after the dot. It works like a charm.
Hi pwarlick - glad the article helped!
thanks for the infopirate tip, I wasn't aware of that.
I'll be checking a few of these out.
A wise choice if there ever was one :)
Very very helpful!
Thanks Brooke!
Interesting article with some good tips. SquidStop and TipDrop are new to me - I will be checking them out soon. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks southerngirl. SquidStop is relatively small right now but with 100% revenue share AND being dofollow, definitely a good one to use.
Thank you! For writers new to article writing information like this is literally gold.
No problem Tribeguy. I know when I was starting out that's how I felt about this information too! So I'm glad to have it in one place and I hope it helps you out :)
Great tips, AJ! Really saved me a lot of time in backlinking research :)
Thanks Brian - I've found these really useful, I hope you do too. InfoPirate and Xomba in particular.
I'm bookmarking this one, so as to capitalize on the prospects. I'm new to IB, but I've been at Hubpages for almost a year now, and have well over a hundred articles there, and I'd like to start writing a whole lot more here, and will. I had, or maybe even still have a Xomba account, but I couldn't log in there the last time that I'd tried, and couldn't get them to send me another password reset. I wonder if I violated their TOS someway. What I was doing was linking to my hubpages articles, and providing a brief description, or even the first paragraph of those articles followed by a link to it. I guess I should just sign back up, if possible, and pay closer attention.
I violated the Xomba TOS when I was just starting out. They're very strict over there, which is both good and bad hahah. I haven't used HubPages much myself, but I think you'll like things here!
I do like it here, I'm just sort of impatient with getting the free reign thing. :-p Oh well, I submitted two whimsical rural musings today, so we'll see how that goes. Thanks for the quick reply.
I know it's annoying, but it's also one of the thing that benefits the community most, since it keeps spam out. Over time, we will probably catch other article directory sites because we provide better user experience overall. In the meantime, it's frustrating, but you'll get through it :)
Thanks :-;
Thanks for sharing. I was unaware that there were social bookmarking sites that offered a revenue share.
They can be a very nice supplement to your income. Xomba will earn the most, but requires more work than InfoPirate, which is my favorite.
This was a very useful article thanks for the tips.
my pleasure sidhartha
Thanks!
Good luck!
Thanks for this interesting article
You're welcome glemoh!
This information is amazing and very valuable thank you for sharing. Following this guide was easy and is already producing results.
My only question is there an EASY way to track all these sites in adsense?
You can integrate Adsense with Google Analytics. It isn't 100% accurate, but it's very close and over time you will get a good picture of all your article stats.
I can't remember off the top of my head how to do this (since I only had to do it once), but in Adsense if you click "integrate with analytics" and follow the directions you should be alright - if not post in the forums and you'll get guidance.
Thanks for the speedy reply, looking into it now.
Thank you AJ! great advice for newbie me.
Always glad to help!
Hi,
Your article was really nice and informative and I decided to try out social bookmarking, but I was asked to submit the website name. I am sure I can't use infobarrel? Kindly guide. Is there some article about this?
I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to. Where did you need to submit the website name?
Normally you can use "www.infobarrel.com/Users/YOURNAME" in places it asks for a personal website.
Very help article. I will look in to using some of these sites. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Wow! Great tip! What a great way to improve traffic and get paid additional revenue while you're at it.
Great tip- You rock! =)
Thanks for this nice article
I genuinely didn't realize there were social bookmarking sites that offered revenue share until I read this article. And the fact that some of them even offer do-follow linking is just awesome! I just added a layer to my niche site backlinking strategy. :)
I had not heard of infopirate before today!
Great post, thanks a lot!
In the list I only know yousaytoo and shetoldme. Thanks for the list
Loved this article! I had no idea there were sites that offered revenue sharing like this in addition to "dofollow" links. I shall certainly take advantage of these in the future!
Sorry to say, but Xomba will no longer let you post your own bookmarks there, only other sites.I was getting major traffic from them too.
Thanks for the information
Did you notice that tipdrop has now PR2, instead of PR3? I still use it, easy and simple.
I hadn't no, as I haven't been writing lately. Thx for the update! Easy + AdSense = win in my book.
good article
great article AJ
Another useful article. Thanks. Xomba banned me for life for some reason, even though I wrote a nice summary of my articles from scratch (completely original material). Oh well. I'll try some of these others, although it's a bit of a pain.
Sorry to hear Xomba banned you Marcel. It seems like they no longer allow you to bookmark your own content, which wasn't the case when I wrote the article. Bookmarking is a drag...
Ya, Xomba banned me too. They say they've had major issues with people spamming so they don't allow you to bookmark your own work. It violates their promotional rules.
Thanks for the update, I've edited the article. Sorry to hear about the ban TAG.
Awesome article: simple, straightforward, and helpful!
AJ has done it again...big ups!
Does anyone still get results from Infopirate? There semrush and alexa stats are really poor right now. It's very easy to use though...
Write for the articles sake or spend time writing to back link? I always get pulled between these two decisions.
