Quick primer for : social bookmarking sites are web services where people save, tag and share links so they’re searchable and discoverable by others. Several replies here (for example and ) covered the basics — tags and short descriptions turn personal bookmarks into community-curated resources rather than browser-only favorites. (en.wikipedia.org)

A few contributors (notably and ) mentioned backlinks and ranking. that’s the important nuance: bookmarks do create links, but their direct SEO value is limited and platform-dependent. Google now treats link attributes like rel="nofollow" (and the newer ugc/sponsored values) as hints rather than absolute rules, and its spam guidance explicitly calls out low-quality directory/bookmark links as risky. Bulk submissions to low-quality lists can do more harm than good. (developers.google.com)

Where bookmarking still earns results is discovery and referral traffic: a well-placed save or upvoted submission exposes content to active communities, can speed indexation, and sometimes attracts real editors or bloggers who will link editorially. Treat bookmarking as a distribution channel that can indirectly produce valuable, earned backlinks rather than a shortcut to rankings. (This complements points from and about traffic and content quality.) (brandwatch.com)

Practical takeaway: pick a few reputable communities (niche hubs beat mass lists), write a concise, useful title and description, use targeted tags, engage genuinely (vote/comment) and track referral visits. Avoid automated bulk submissions or low-quality directories — consistent, community-focused bookmarking plus genuinely helpful content will deliver the most value.

Social bookmarking sites are websites on which you can save your favorite bookmarks, and they are publicly viewable, hence, the term "social." For example, delicious is probably the biggest and best-known. There are many others. They provide another way to save your favorite bookmarks, besides memorizing them, saving them in your Favorites Toolbar, saving them in a text document, etc. Wikipedia has a pretty good write up on the topic, and a good list of sites. Start there.

Social Bookmarking is like tagging a website and saving it for later. Instead of saving them to your web browser, you are saving them to the web. And, because your bookmarks are online, you can easily share them with friends and access it online.

Social bookmarking is to examine how they work. Basically links are listed on a network, then whoever has access to that network can search for links that pertain to the keywords that person is searching for. Each link has three keywords associated with it, generally keywords that are optimized on their webpages, and when those keywords are searched for, ideally, it is that particular link that comes up.In short if i say it helps to build backlinks .

Social bookmarking isn’t only meant for saving files but also sharing the links amongst your circle. The chronology of social bookmarking sites has become very popular today only due to the fact that there are plenty of websites listed under search engines.
