Social activity alone won’t “buy” you better rankings — search engines don’t use raw likes/follows as direct ranking signals — but social channels are extremely useful for getting your content in front of the humans who will link to it (bloggers, journalists, resource pages). (searchenginejournal.com)

Treat social media as an amplification and outreach layer, not a backlink farm. Build one or two genuinely linkable assets (original data, a tool, a definitive guide), then use a focused promotion playbook: 1) find pages that already link to similar content and pitch your better resource (the Skyscraper approach), 2) seed targeted influencers and journalists with concise, value-first messages, and 3) follow up with personalized asks rather than mass “share my link” blasts. The Skyscraper method and careful outreach remain the most repeatable ways to convert social attention into editorial links. (backlinko.com)

Combine that with two pragmatic tactics many replies here didn’t expand on: reclaim unlinked brand mentions (monitor with Alerts/Content-Explorer and ask politely to add the URL) and broken-link replacement (find dead resources with backlinks and offer your updated page). Both yield high ROI because the editorial justification for linking already exists. (searchenginewatch.com)

A short checklist to apply today: 1) pick one linkable asset and publish it with clear anchors/screenshots for easy quoting; 2) build a 50–100 prospect outreach list from pages linking to competitors; 3) use social to surface the right contact (author, editor, or curator) and send a tailored pitch; 4) track wins with UTM tags and monitor new referring domains. Finally, stay compliant: many social/UGC links are marked nofollow/ugc/sponsored and should be treated accordingly — focus on editorial, not paid or automated link schemes. (developers.google.com)

Good on and for highlighting community engagement — that relationship work powers the outreach above.

You need to make your profile at different social media. Then you manage the business pages and join the groups. Participate in discussion and submit your page links.

I would say your question was confusing. Social Bookmarking is a part of Social Media.

I wonder how come your question hasn't got a relevant answer till now. Indeed one of the best ways for link building is by using the social media. You should try twitter and facebook to start. On twitter look for bloggers and follow them, you can message them to ask for them to follow back. Look for tweeps who follow back. Now on facebook, add the application networked blogs, and add the widget to your widget, next make a fan page for your website and make your friends like it so that it gets popular. Once you have done that check on networked blogs for other blogs to follow you and you will find other blogs very easily for link exchange. Hope my answer has been of some help.
