Why Social Bookmarking is Important for your Business
Social bookmarking is a way for Internet users to store, organize and search for bookmarks of websites online. It allows users to capture links to web pages that they want to save or share. Social bookmarking sites store links that are bookmarked in categories.
Search engines “crawl” social bookmarking sites frequently. When you bookmark your website in these directories, you create back links to your site and increase the chance of getting visitors interested in your products and/or services.
Some popular social bookmarking sites are:
Keywords or “tags” enable you to organize your bookmarks into categories. The keywords/tags used to describe your content help visitors find the specific pages relevant to their search. The benefits of social bookmarking include:
- Increased traffic targeted to your business.
- Higher conversion rates from visitors interested in your products and/or services.
- Builds incoming links to your site.
- Faster indexing on search engines.
Millions of people use Social Bookmark sites. Take advantage of this powerful marketing tool by listing your website on social bookmarking sites. It will take some time and effort on your part to get your pages added (e.g. URLs, descriptions, and keywords/tags), but it will pay off in the long run.
Social bookmarking is an important element in your search engine optimization (SEO) efforts.
