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.
