Social Bookmarking

In order for you to understand fully the benefits of social bookmarking, you first must understand its heritage and how exactly social bookmarking works. The original idea of social bookmarking was spawned in April of 96, with the launch of the first ever social networking site, itlist.com. Social Bookmarking became well known for building relevant links, bringing in traffic and enticing new customers.

So how does social bookmarking work? Links are listed on a network, or social platform, then it’s members or whoever has access to this network or social platform can search for links that pertain to the keywords that person is searching for.

 

The concept of social bookmarking can be compared to things like personal bookmarks, or favourite lists. These networks allow people to add links they like, and not just their own. Social bookmarking can be used by anyone, but is normally used for business to business information, or business to consumer information.
