What is Social Bookmarking?

What is Social Bookmarking & Why is it so powerful and different from other web promotion tactics?

Social Bookmarking websites are basically sites that categorize and store ‘bookmark links’ (links which take one to a specific website). Millions of visitors flood these Social Bookmarking sites to search for information. Some of the common one are Digg.com, Stumbleupon.com, del.icio.us.

So the idea of bookmarking is to post links back to your web page from these Social Bookmarking websites. You need to specify some keywords (we call them TAGS) which categorize your bookmark.

This allows others to search and even vote for your bookmark. Social Bookmarking is in a league of its own because of its ability to generate traffic by sharing links.

The benefit of Social Bookmarking are:

More Targeted Traffic because the sites are added by “keywords”
Faster Search Engine Indexing
Higher Search Engine Ranking
Better PageRank

However the problem with Social Bookmarking is that it is very time consuming. Creating account in different social bookmarking websites. Then add your website to their sites one by one.. one by one. Lucky, there is tool to help you out. For example, bookmarketingdemon.com.
