Despite the fact that the concept of shared bookmarks over the internet first came into being in April 1996 when itList was launched, the endless possibilities that social bookmarking has opened up for generating tremendous traffic has only recently been established. It was only in late 2003 that the term ’social bookmarking’ was coined by the pioneer of tagging, del.icio.us.
Social bookmarking can be described as the practice of saving website urls/bookmarks to a specific website, tagging them with specific keywords/descriptions and sharing them with individuals or public. This concept is becoming another great internet marketing tool, and a fantastic way to fool the search engine spiders from thinking that you are a spammer. You must also follow some rules if you want to get the maximum benefit from your social bookmarking exercise.
Make sure you promote content that is not just yours. Share links, information on things you like, that interest you etc, so that the online community perceives you as someone normal and not brand you a gimmick player. Also add widgets, icons, etc to your websites so that people can easily bookmark your work. When public does that, you will have an outgoing link from your sites to higher traffic websites. Both incoming and outgoing links to more visible websites will help you get greater online visibility and front page ranking on search engines. Social bookmarking can help build your business with networking and publicity like nothing else can!
Now go and get some bookmarks out there.
