Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata, typically in the form of tags that collectively and/or collaboratively become a folksonomy. Folksonomy is also called social tagging, "the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to shared content".

In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.

Social Bookmarking is now a major building block for driving to traffic to your website. If done properly you can expect to use it as an easy and inexpensive method for natural search engine referred traffic to your site.

One of the reasons it can be essential to be socially bookmarked is that it makes it much easier for you to share your favorite web sites with friends, family, people you work with, or anyone you might want to.

You might not know that social bookmarking is also excellent for search engine optimization, because if your web site is on a particular web site’s front page, this will automatically increase your traffic.
