Social Bookmarking also has other important advantages for search engine optimisation such as encouraging pages to be notices and indexed by web spiders.

What is Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is where people save links of web pages that they want to keep to remember or they want to share. Most social bookmark services allow users to organise their bookmarks, you can view other people's bookmarks, usually by category or tags or via a search engine.

Social bookmarking has grown more popular, with extra features including ratings, comments and the opportunity to have more control and manage your bookmarks with the ability to import or export from browsers.

History of Social Bookmarking

Shared online bookmarks date back to 1996 when itList which allowed you to store both private and public bookmarks. In the following three years online bookmarks became a competitive field with companies such as Backflip and Blink etc taking a share of the market.

These newcomers introduced folders to create a more organised bookmarking structure, with some offering automatically sorted bookmarks into folders, the features to email your bookmarks to others. When the dot-com bubble burst these social bookmarking sites were not viable enough to survive.

A few years later social bookmarking was back in a big way with the release of del.icio.us with several competing social bookmarking sites joining them including Furl and Connotea.

Submitting

Sites such as http://www.socialmarker.com are a powerful way to promote your website, making it easy to bookmark without the need to download every toolbar.

Firstly you need to register with all the social bookmarking sites, this includes a user name, email address and password.

After registering yourself with the bookmarking sites you need to decide what inner page you would like to bookmark on your site. In the top right corner of the Social Marker site there is a place for a title, link, text and tags. Fill in these boxes with relevant content and tags and then you are ready to submit.

The bookmark title is important and should capture your readers gaining you interest and valuable traffic.

Link
The link should be to an inner page of your site. Having a page that is of interest to a lot of people and contains useful interesting content.

Text
This is your opportunity to really sell your bookmark with relevant content and keywords that will encourage people to visit your website. Include a few lines of content that you think would attract you to visit someone elses site.

Tags
These are your keywords for this web page.

When you click the submit button you go through to the next section, which is submitting to the individual social bookmarking sites – sign in. Social bookmarker acts as a frame at the top and bottom, allowing you to drag and drop the information or confirm the information that is in place is correct – submitting to that social bookmark site and moving on to the next. After you have worked your way through the sites you have finished your social bookmarking submission exercise.
