For those of you who don’t know, social bookmarking links are, put simply, links from social bookmarking websites. One of the most well known of these sites is Delicious which is owned by Yahoo and also includes sites like Furl and Spurl, among others. These bookmarking sites have been specifically created for you to save your favorite website links and share them with the world.
The practical benefit is that you can access your favorite websites from any computer in the world that has internet access. Instead of focusing on why social bookmarking sites are practical, let’s take a look at why they can be effective for webmasters.
While web directories can be good for links, it’s not like people actually spend much time browsing them to find quality websites. Social bookmarking is different, in that web savvy users browse them all day long, finding new websites and going to websites that they have previously saved for whatever reason.
Did you know that some of the top bookmarking websites such as Delicious have the potential to send you over 5,000 visitors in a matter of hours? Most social bookmarking sites have a homepage that shows off the most bookmarked links in the last few days and those links get a lot of traffic.
