Social Bookmarking Tools - Harnessing the Power of Social Media Marketing

Essentially, social bookmarking is a way for online users to manage their favorite web pages. Manage in this particular case includes sharing, searching and organizing these bookmarks, and especially tags have emerged as the most effective way to help users navigating their bookmarked sites.

For webmasters, social bookmarking can be a very effective method to promote their own website. Because search engines often factor in how many times a site has been saved across different bookmarking accounts. The reason why these bookmarks are relevant for search engines is because they are often a better way of organizing information - instead of automatically calculating which page should up on which site in the search results, based on some technical algorithm, online bookmarks are in most cases created by human beings. Thus, the more often a site has been bookmarked, the more people find it interesting.

But nowadays, simply submitting a handful of bookmarks is not enough to really promote your site. You need a systematic approach of submitting your sites to several bookmarking platforms simultaneously in order to get the maximum benefit. Doing so by hand is simply too tedious and time-consuming. That is where social bookmarking tools come in handy. They basically allow you to "mass-submit" your site. Different tools use different methods to accomplish this, and comparing them with each other might be a good idea.

However, when you use bookmarking sites, try to build relationship with others users of that platform too and do not only blatantly use your account for self-promotion purposes, but link to other interesting websites too. The internet is about sharing information, and on social sites, being greedy and selfish about your bookmarks will not get you far.
