The very important key is of course to know your targeted keywords and to include it in your tags, title and description. Bookmarking also needs to be done every time that you add a new content to your site. This is a way to inform search engines that you have a new post about a certain topic. It also helps if the description that you write in the description field has the keyword in it, but be very careful not to use the same phrase over and over as a description to different bookmarking sites that you shall bookmark your page to, since there is a risk for it to be detected as spam.
