What is Social Bookmarking All About
Social bookmarking is optimized for documenting and sharing lists of links to useful information. In contrast, blogs are optimized for creating and sharing content, allowing for commentary while keeping the original content intact.
It is an all-out phenomena and is growing at a sonic boom clip. Understanding social bookmarking gives you the ability to reach millions of users you might otherwise miss. Social bookmarking is the sharing of websites within an online community. Here is how I like to think of it.
This is the process of moving your “favorites” or “bookmarks” (links to web sites you visit on the web) to a web-based service like del.icio.us , magnolia , or Yahoo or Google . These services allow you to capture these links or (URLs) to their service and provide you with settings to keep the link private or to share it with others (make it public). Social bookmarking is a way for Internet users to store, share, classify, and search Internet bookmarks.
There is some debate over how important social bookmarking is in SEO, but the consensus seems to be leaning toward the idea that social bookmarking, along with many other social media optimization (SMO) strategies, is quickly becoming a serious consideration for SEO. Social bookmarking is a great way to make your posts public. There are various places to go for you to post your articles.
Social bookmarking is all about the collective voice. Most of the social bookmarking networks increase the profile of items that receive numerous bookmarks. Social Bookmarking is the flagship of the web 2.0 movement. The basic concept behind social bookmarking is similar to Add to Favorites or Bookmarks that you are most familiar with using your web browsers like Firefox or Explorer.
It is a term for allowing people to publish, categorise and share their bookmarks. Del.ici.ous uses a non-hierarchical keyword categorisation system, know as folksonomy, where user tag their links with one or more freely chosen keyword.
Social Bookmarking is definitely getting a lot easier lately, but there seems to be too many of them. Sometimes social bookmarking sites can get boring if there are not enough of good links. Social bookmarking is becoming the newest and most effective way of producing quality traffic. Social bookmarking is all about the collective voice. Most of the social bookmarking networks increase the profile of items that receive numerous bookmarks.
This 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.
Social bookmarking is a free and easy way to get loads of traffic to your website. It is a new trend in search engine optimization, which has gained recognition as part of a new type of website optimization, termed social media optimization (SMO).? Social Bookmarking, also referred to sometimes as social bookmarketing, is the term used for bookmarking sites on the web and sharing them with friends.
This is certainly the wave of the future. Maybe another video on which sites to use and which sites to avoid. Social bookmarking is an emerging type of a Web service that helps users share, classify, and discover interesting resources.
The concept of an enhanced search, in which data from social bookmarking systems is exploited for enhancing search in the Web. Social bookmarking is a new fashion developed by webmaster today in search engine optimization which has brought up a new type of optimization trend called social media optimization. The idea of marketing your website through social bookmarking is also called social bookmarketing.

What value does del.icio.us have over other ‘bookmarking’ options (other than ’social bookmarking’)?
digford asked:
If one is not concerned about distributing ones bookmarks to others, but only wants to be able to quickly create them on-the-fly (and organize them then or later), what particular value, if any, does del.icio.us have over other common bookmarking options — Yahoo! Bookmarks, Google Bookmarks, etc. ?

What is Social Bookmarking and How Can it Help my Website?
Social bookmarking has been around for a couple of years, but for me, it’s a whole new concept as I learn more and more about internet marketing and how best to get traffic to my site and blog. It is a process that is becoming more and more popular as a means of generating traffic and page rank, so it’s something I want to get started with right away! Most of us who own a PC know that when we come across a website that we like, we can add that site to our list of favorites or bookmark it for our own future use. Social bookmarking takes that organizational process a step further by making public the list of sites you frequent. This article will discuss what social bookmarking really is, its advantages, and how it can help your website.
What is social bookmarking? As mentioned above, social bookmarking is a system of organizing websites that you want to re-visit, but rather than bookmarking them in a folder on your computer, you bookmark them on a special social bookmarking website. If you do a Google search for “social bookmarking websites” you will find a list of the top social bookmarking sites that you can join to add your favorite sites to. The way you go about this is to use keywords that represent your favorite site’s content, or in other words, you “tag” it. You can then make your entries public or private. The ones that you make public can be seen by anyone who visits the social bookmarking sites and looks up the keywords you used to describe your bookmarked sites. The public display will also show who created the bookmark, when, and how popular those keywords are.
There are many advantages of using social bookmarking as opposed to simply bookmarking. By making your list of popular sites public, you have the ability to share information with others who are looking for the same type of information. They will be able to find a list of sites that display exactly what they want just by logging into a social bookmarking site and typing in some relevant keywords. This is a tremendous way of helping others find useful information, or sharing resources with a group of people. For example, a group of network marketers may want information on prospecting, so they would log in, type in “prospecting” and receive a list of bookmarked sites on “prospecting”, and other related topics, just like that! Not only will you find links to sites that you are interested in, but you can find out who has bookmarked your own site and how popular it is. Also, if you want to contact others who are interested in the same topics and sites as you, or know more about it than you, you can easily make a new connection with someone! How handy is that?
Aside from the benefits of resource sharing, social bookmarking can help generate traffic to your site and blog. You can set up your blog to link to your favorite tagged sites, and allow your blog visitors to easily bookmark your site. This will result in more traffic, possibly a better Google Page Rank, and potentially more sales! Some of the social bookmarking sites that you join allow you to add your bookmarks to your blog. In this way, your blog can be updated with tags and links on a daily basis! If you know how important it is to update your blog frequently to get the search engine spiders and traffic over to your site, then you will appreciate this feature! Not only that, but you can use your social bookmarking sites to post links to your website, thereby increasing your traffic and PR with a backlink from authority sites!
I have yet to discover the disadvantages of social bookmarking, but its advantages, as listed above, are enough to get me excited about this relatively new way of marketing my website and blog! I hope you are excited too, and will take action to improve your websites and blogs! You never know, you may even connect with an expert in your specialty area that can help you achieve your goals and dreams!

Social Bookmarking and Why Its Fast Becoming the New Wave for Free Traffic Generation
First, Blogs were the BIG new thing as a traffic source, and still are, but guess what… now it’s Social Bookmarking.
Social Bookmarking if you aren’t quit sure is simply a service where the web user can surf the web and bookmark there favorite websites, articles, pictures, etc., to their account through the Social Bookmarking service they signed up with.
The advantage to doing this from the web users point of view is they can locate all their favorites from one easy to navigate location.
How they locate their saved bookmarks is quite simple. All they do is ‘Tag’ them using keywords associated to whatever it is they are bookmarking. So when it comes time to wanting to access that information all they have to do is type in the ‘Tag’ associated to their query.
Okay, that’s the basic run down of what Social Bookmarking is and its primary use. Now lets move on to the juicy stuff… Traffic Generation.
What I didn’t tell you in the above explanation is that if the web user chooses they can make their bookmarks public.
Now, what do I mean by public? It means that the Social Bookmarking community and the web will have access to whomevers bookmarked information, whether its articles, pictures, websites, reviews , etc… etc.
Are you starting to see the connection?
Let me explain further from an marketers perspective.
Let’s say I opened up an account at an Social Bookmarking service and it is ready for me to start bookmarking whatever it is I want to bookmark.
Well, guess what I’m going to start bookmarking?
You guessed it, my websites and all their webpages. I’m also going to ‘Tag’ these webpages using keywords I think other web users within my Social Bookmarking community and the web would search for so they will find them. And since I’ve made my account a public account anybody will be able to find my bookmarks giving my websites webpages “FREE Targeted Traffic”.
Your pages as I mentioned earlier can be Product Reviews, Articles, Sales Letters, or VRE with Adsense.
Your totally in control as to what you want to bookmark.
Just don’t ‘SPAM’ them with junk. People use these services to locate information, so simply give them what they want and in return you get “FREE Targeted Traffic” which in turn could make you some sales without costing you a dime.
I have to say that’s pretty Cool!!
With search engines becoming so full of junk and ‘SPAM’ people are starting to resort to other means of locating the targeted information their looking for. Thats where Social Bookmarking communities come into play and where you can benefit, if you follow the rules.
More and more Social Bookmarking services are popping up because of there ability to easily locate targeted information by simply using ‘Tags’ making it easier for the web user to find the information their looking for.
I truly hope you see how POWERFUL – Social Bookmarking – can be as another means of targeted traffic generation and urge you to look into it further for your own sake to see if it’s something you might want to consider as another source of traffic generation for your websites.
