Yes, people have the habit of checking these sites, with the quest of landing up at interesting bookmarks, and they finally reach your site. Do you know that bookmarking your website link onto a website that holds a higher page rank, will eventually boost your website’s rank over search engines which in-turn attracts lots of visitors who convert into potential clients of yours. Exciting information is what…Next to banner ads and Adwords, social bookmarking websites is the main source of backlinks aiding visitors flow to a website. The process

1. Social bookmarking is indeed time consuming and a tedious job if you do it yourself. But the resultant is priceless. So we could easily ignore the pains undertaken. Simple to say, the process is saving your bookmarks to a public website along with related keywords as tags. 2. The wise approach is to bookmark three types of links. One is to bookmark the webpages of your website, another is bookmarking the webpages that link to your website, and the final one is bookmarking topic related content from other top rated websites. The balance you maintain with the quantity of these three link types is advised to be in a 3:3:4 ratios. 3. Take for example you chose to bookmark in one of the most famous social bookmarking site – Delicious.com. Create an account and install their browser add-on for an easy access bookmarking pages. 4. Add a short description about your website and the tags you enter will be your keywords. Note that the default title that you enter should be keyword specific, since this will end-up being your anchor text. The title you enter for your website is the most crucial factor. You get clicks only if the title is catchy, or else you simply get ignored. The same applies to the description part also. Provide unique content in the “Notes” area. 5. Now go for the bookmarking part, and there is no need for you to bookmark each and every page of your website. Go for the best ones you feel worth sharing. The amount is dependent on the size of your website. 6. Next go for the other websites that link to your site. Advisable are those top rated website links that point to you. Press Release, Guestblogging, your presentation in Slideshare, YouTube videos, Pinterest, your news article been shared by most people, your brand service appreciated by your customers in their website are some among them. 7. Finally find your industry related articles published in high ranking websites. Bookmark these articles on your behalf, which requires no need for title alteration except for adding a small quick note relating the topic bookmarked and related tagging done. 8. Now when every work is done perfect, what I advise is to manually repeat the same process in other social bookmarking sites where you intend to mark presence. Never go for importing or any other automated works, and you will end-up doing a disaster to your efforts.
