SEO advise needed: niche bookamarking tool, redirection, etc?

Pear asked:


I have a client whom I have recommended they have a social bookmarking service created as a tool to encourage natural linking.

My idea is to create an integrated social bookmarking service service that would be at the root of their domain name. This way when we have widgets displayed on other people’s sites, my client’s site would earn the link back.

Now considering that the bookmarking section would be at the root of the domain how successful would it be if I recommend getting a domain name and have that redirected to the bookmarking section? Would this tactic cause any SEO damage?
Adam, I agree that the market is saturated for bookmarking sites, but they are ‘general. When people need to find sites for trendy women, they go to HerFabLife.com, developer links? DZone, and the list goes on. For that reason, I need a niche one for my clients.

How to promote a movie social website?

coolcnus asked:


I would have posted this in the web publishing category, but I never get useful feedback. I run a movie entertainment website that gives users similar capabilities as Myspace and Facebook in that you can submit reviews, post blogs, create a profile, add videos, share photos…the whole works. It’s very identical to Flixster, but for some reason, it doesn’t seem to be attracting man visitors. Does anyone know of any good approaches to promote the site? It’s www.reelempire.com. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also, I’ve tried Digg and social bookmarking, so please don’t tell me that lol.
