Social Bookmarking - What is it?
Although you’ve heard the term so many times, you may not be entirely clear on what it is and it’s power. In this blog entry I will give you a quick run down of what the hype is about and hopefully clear things up for you so that you can take advantage of this powerful tool to create traffic for your site.
The idea of social bookmarking is very simple. You know the term bookmarking means saving your favorite website addresses in your “Favorites” or “Bookmarking”. Someone came up with the idea that rather that just storing them on your PC or browser that putting them on the web somewhere would be a good idea. After all, you’d be able to use to access them from any PC in the world and “share them with others”.
The “share them with others” feature is what makes the bookmarking “social”.
Ok. So, what’s the big deal? Why all the hype?
Well, it turns out that Google loves new content. It just eats it up and indexes like there’s no tomorrow. Internet Marketers noticed that there bookmarks were getting picked up by Google really fast and realized that it is a great tool to get organic traffic. Free traffic!
I’ll take it!
So, that’s the idea. By using as many of these Web 2.o sites, you can easily pick up some traffic and links to your site.
More traffic. More affiliate sales.
