How Does Social Bookmarking Help
Marketing?
Social book marking will increase the traffic to your site.

new words goes to enhance the viral nature of the visibility
you could get at the social bookmarking site. And this kind of
viral publicity could put your site in front of ever increasing
numbers of visitors.
Social book marking could improve your search engine
ranking
Bookmarks are links to your site. If you get a lot of such
links, and that too from a high PR social bookmark site, your
own search engine ranking could hit new highs.
Until recently, when you saw a good site or other web
resource, you added it to your list of Favorites in your
browser. That was personal bookmarking.
Nowadays, younger users create their bookmarks online, at
social bookmarking sites like Digg and hundreds of others.
These bookmarks are “tagged” with descriptive keywords by the
bookmarker. What distinguishes these “social” bookmarks from
personal ones is the fact that they are viewable by the
public.
Other users of a social bookmark site would come across your
website if they search using any of the words with which your
site has been tagged.
If what they see impresses them, they would add good comments,
their own tags and bookmark the site themselves. That creates a
new spiral of yet new visitors searching by the new tags.
