What is Social Bookmarking?
Social bookmarking is where you can bookmark a particular web page or video in a social bookmarking website. There are several websites online that are called social bookmark companies because they provide a way for people to bookmark something and others across the web can see what has been bookmarked by other people.
Some of these companies include Digg, Propeller, Oyax, StumbleUpon, Furl, Del.icio.us, Newsvine, Reddit, Fark, Connotea, Faves, Spurl,Folkd, and many more.
Why should I do Social Bookmarking?
Search engines love to crawl these social bookmarking companies because they can see what people like and because they can find new information in a very fast way. Having bookmarks in these various websites also builds popularity as there are people all over the world who use these companies to search for new things. If they see a link to your website it increases your chances in getting more people to your website.
Some of these social bookmark companies make it possible that the links are followed by the search engines making these links backlinks pointing back to your website and increasing the popularity of your website in the search engines eyes. Social bookmarking is a very important part of a link building strategy for all websites.
When should I perform Social Bookmarking?
Social bookmarking is a constant process as you can bookmark individual pages within a website. It is important to create several different user accounts within these social bookmarking companies in order to make it look more natural to the search engines. If you have one account with all the different social bookmarking companies and consistently bookmark your own website then it looks spammy and self promotion.
The more accounts you have and the more web pages you bookmark the more backlinks you will create for a website. Plus there are others across the web who also have accounts with social bookmarking companies and if your content is worth bookmarking they will bookmark your content which will build more popularity to your website.
