What is Social Bookmarking All About?

Kevin Pui
Social bookmarking is a modern way of saving your favourite web pages, not on your computer, but through different free services for saving and sorting them directly on the Internet. This means you can reach them from any computer regardless wherever you are. Social bookmarking is a way of organizing and categorizing information with the use of "tags". Tags are user generated and are based upon key words that identify the bookmark so this is a true user-directed way that information is organized and categorized

Generally, social bookmarking is relatively safe though as a basic strategy to create some initial traffic and rankings to your website, as overall it is designed as a human activity at a fundamental level. It is bait for the search engines. Regular posting in your blog and bookmarking on a regular basis you will get the search engines showing up at Google for example and putting your article on page one for the keyword phrase you are targeting. Social Bookmarking is a combination of keeping bookmarks online and sharing your collection with other users. Tagging the page with keywords to describe what it is about adds value for others.

Social bookmarking is a way for users of the internet to share websites or web pages that they consider interesting. A service like Delicious allows you create a list of bookmarks that you can share with others. Social bookmarking is all about labeling the web, making it easier to find the content that you're looking for by passing on what you've found. The labels applied to web sites are commonly known as tags, and over time a kind of taxonomy grows, whereby persistent tags help information to be aggregated and mined for information. Users save links to web pages that they like or want to share, using a social bookmarking site to store these links.

Social bookmarking isn't a one-trick pony. It opens the doors to multiple marketing strategies that you can use to improve your bottom line right away! It is all about the collective voice. Most of the social bookmarking networks increase the profile of items that receive numerous bookmarks. Social Bookmarking is one of the many ways that companies or marketers can connect their brand with an online community. Treat your web site as an information resource for users exploring future purchase decisions. Many social bookmarking services and some specialised websites have tools to assist you to add your social bookmarking links to your website or blog
