So, What Is Social Bookmarking ?
Social bookmarking is utilizing a web service, where users
create a public repository of bookmarks pertaining to sites
that they like.
The concept of social bookmarking dates back to 1996 with the
launch of itList.com, followed by services like Blink and
Hotlinks and many more. But, the popularity of Social
Bookmarking increased with the advent of the most popular
bookmarking site till date, del.icio.us.
Social bookmarking sites organize their content using tags.
Social bookmarking sites are an increasingly popular way to
locate, classify, rank, and share Internet resources through
the practice of tagging and inferences drawn from grouping and
analysis of tags.
And What is a Tag?
A tag is basically a keyword. It is a label that you categorize
a website under. For example if I was tagging this website, I
would tag it under “tag and ping”, “tag”, “ping” etc.
Tagging is simply a way to find a website that I bookmark
without remembering where you put it. You can just enter a tag
to find websites that you have marked with certain tags.
The tags act as a way to quickly find your bookmarks without
remembering where you put them. This is why the bookmark sites
allow you to assign more than one tag.
These bookmark sites allow you to share your personal bookmarks
with the public. This is where the term “social” comes into
play. When you bookmark a site other people can also find the
site that you bookmarked if they enter the same tag that you
classified the site under.
Not only can you find the sites that you tagged under certain
keywords but so can everyone else.
These bookmarks and tags may seem like geekspeak, but from an
SEO standpoint these can build you a massive amount of
backlinks which seem to originate from authority sites.
