SEO and Social Bookmarking
SEO and Social Bookmarking
Bookmarking is a method of saving your favorite links as bookmarks in a web browser. Instead of storing the bookmarks in your computers web browser, one can use social bookmarking websites where anyone can follow the bookmarks placed by other users or they can place a bookmark of their own.
Generally, social bookmarking websites allow a user to add bookmarks along with a title and small description about the linked resource. When searched for, bookmarks get listed based on keywords that are in the description and title. Most bookmarking websites also have account options like “public” or “private“, therefore bookmarked sites can be seen by others only if the bookmark is given a permission to be a public one.
The effect of social bookmarking on SEO (search engine optimization) is that the visitors from these sites are closer of becoming a probable customer or an eager visitor needing specific content to that of a bookmarked website. Visitors trust these bookmarking sites more, just because the bookmarks listed are considered to be favourites or handpicked web pages of the user.
It is much easier for browsers to follow the bookmarks than searching a list of hundreds of links a SERP (search engine results page) can give out. Social bookmarking websites have now become more popular than before with added features such as ratings and comments on bookmarks, the ability to import and export bookmarks from browsers, emailing of bookmarks and other social network features. Most good webmasters adopt social bookmarking as an important SEO step for their website promotion campaign.
