To understand what Social book marking means, let us first take a look at this. Anyone who uses the Internet will be aware of the “favorites” button on your browser. The “favorites” button allows you to keep the URLS of pages you frequently visit in the form of a list. Therefore, every time you want to visit your favorite page, you will just click on the URL already stored in your favorite list.

With the advent of Web 2.0, the “favorite” function expanded itself and now allows users to share their favorite links with others. Visitors can also review these links, rate them, vote on or share their personal links. Comments or other remarks about the sites can also be posted. With the feverish pitch in Search Engine optimization efforts, all over the Internet community, social bookmarking has already earned its place, and is consolidating.

When several users bookmark your website and share it with others through social bookmarking sites, your website gains in popularity. This brings in free traffic for your website. Some of the popular social bookmarking sites are SocialMatic, Technorati etc. Social networking sites such as mySpace, Facebook etc. too carry the social book marking function.

Submitting too many articles to social book marking sites may not yield the desired results because, only quality will generate interest in readers and attract positive comments. When quality articles are reviewed by several people, you also receive generous incoming traffic. Useful information, presented in a concise manner is the key to success.
