Social Bookmarking Improves Link Popularity
And Supports Search Engine Optimization Efforts

Social bookmarking helps internet users save their favorite website links to one place that is available online. This allows internet users (and website owners) to view, search and organize their social bookmarks from any computer.

Social bookmarks of web pages that users want to remember and share are a vast improvement over saving website links in the “favorites” within a web browser, which can only be accessed from the computer in which the bookmarks were saved.

Advantages of Social Bookmarking

One unique thing with social bookmarking sites is that they allow other users of the site to view the bookmarked sites. If the other users enjoyed the site, they may either add it to their own list of social bookmarks or give it a vote, a thumbs up (or thumbs down) that it was a good or helpful bookmark.

With thousands of online users utilizing social bookmarking as a way to store website links, it is easy for a website to gain in link popularity through backlinks (inbound links), making this a great way to help your search engine optimization efforts.

How Social Bookmarking Supports Search Engine Optimization Efforts

Many professional SEO (search engine optimization) companies are incorporating social bookmarking into their link building and link popularity campaigns.

The key to making social bookmarking a success with regards to increasing natural or organic search engine rankings is to ensure good quality content and relevant information is available on the bookmarked site that is helpful to the internet users.

Social Bookmarking Sites

Below is a list of various social bookmarking sites that internet users currently enjoy:

	del.icio.us	Digg	Furl
	Propeller.com	Reddit	StumbleUpon

One of the unique reasons why social bookmarking sites help to increase natural search engine rankings is due to the collaborative tagging ability offered by these websites.

When users add a site to their list of social bookmarks, they are able to “tag” the site, essentially adding the words or phrases that describe what the site is about.

Each user who adds the site to their social bookmarks, may then use different tags, based on what they felt was important.

Other users can then use the search function within the social bookmarking sites, typing in “key” words (keyword phrases) that they are interested in and the bookmarks are returned based on the phrases users added when tagging their social bookmarks.

Social Bookmarking Your Website

When adding your site to any of the social bookmarking sites, it is best to use the “Key” words or phrases selected from your targeted keyword research within the collaborative tagging; this can help to increase your organic search engine rankings and further your search engine optimization efforts.
