Taking Advantage of Social Bookmarking
Filed Under social bookmarking
Social bookmarking, what is it exactly and how can it help me? That’s definitely a thought that has run through my head, what about yours? The act of bookmarking things for myself and my own use sounded ok, even useful, but to share with others, “what’s the point?”
Social bookmarking allows users to tag, and bookmark items, then the items are stored on the person’s profile and can be shared with others. Social bookmarks rank high in the search engines and can help a person to find information that they are looking for quickly and easily. When you use a social bookmarking site, rather than a search engine to search for information you are getting a more targeted batch of information to look through. These targeted items are also ranked in how useful they were to others. The information found on such sites was already thought to be useful by someone else.
So, as a business owner, you can take advantage of social bookmarking by having others to tag, and to rank your information, your blog posts, articles, and other information that you put out there. This will help to rank it in the social bookmarking sites and therefore it will be more easy and more readily found and utilized by others, increasing your credibility. 
So, how do you get started with social bookmarking? Well, first you need to sign up for the sites themselves. Top social bookmarking sites include: Digg, Stumble Upon, Del.icio.us. Photo by NightStar
