Social Bookmark - Social bookmarking is the practice of posting links to articles and website pages to various "link aggregator" or social bookmark sites, including Digg, Stumbleupon and so on. Bookmarking sites rise and fall in popularity pretty quickly, but they generally have a few common features:

1. Users can submit links which other users can browse, providing a great way to expose your content.

2. Links go into large pages of lists, which are normally very easy to navigate, and are generally usually divided up right into a "main page" of the best links during the day, and various sub-sections which help you to definitely get exposure in additional relevant circles.

3. Links can usually be "voted on" to determine which links have more airtime on the front page of numerous sections. The more votes your links get, the harder traffic they get.

4. Some sites, like Digg, fasten a weighting to certain actions and users, so an individual who submits very popular links will have a vote that carries more importance.

5. Most social bookmark creating site users are fairly jaded with regards to the internet, and will ignore items that aren't interesting, funny, or very entertaining. This is simply not a place for your boring press releases.

6. Most bookmarking sites usually have some kind of "social" element for them, allowing users to create profiles, have a friends list of other users, etc., with the hope of getting users to share with you content between themselves.

Social Bookmark - These are the basics, so let's check out how best to approach social bookmarking. I'm going to use Reddit and Digg as my main examples, having said that that Reddit itself requires a great deal of familiarity with its culture before you are able to submit links that anybody even clicks on.

Choose your niche

Submitting an article on growing bonsais to the front page of Reddit won't do you any good - you'll get 30 visitors maybe, none of whom will buy your products. But submitting it to /r/bonsai, although it only has around 1,100 readers, will likely garner you more attention from interested people.

Ironically, submitting to /r/trees may have much less of an effect, because /r/trees is dedicated to marijuana culture. The lesson here's: know your subreddits.

Write an appealing title, and use a photo

Standard newspaper/advert headline formats do not work too well on the net, because everyone has become resistant to them. Instead you need to think of a clever title that interests people enough to find out more about what you're writing, or at least promise pictures of cats.

Most bookmarking sites add a thumbnail from the page you're linking to, a treadmill you provide. Consider the trouble to do this - it generates higher click throughs.

Keep at it, to make your links an easy task to share

Social Bookmark - Social bookmarking is all about persistence, so if nobody clicks your first link, make another article, think of a more clever title and attempt again. Put a social bookmarking widget on your website or blog, and encourage people to talk about your articles. If you've submitted them already, and they've accounts, it only takes another to click an "upvote" or "like" button.

Basically, having links to all or any of your articles on half a dozen social bookmarking sites is great for SEO.
