Social Bookmarking is the practice of posting links to articles and web pages to various "link aggregator" or social bookmark sites, including Digg, Stumbleupon and so on. Bookmarking sites rise and fall in popularity rapidly, but they generally have a couple of common features:

1. Users can submit links which other users can browse, providing a great way to expose your content.

2. Links enter into large pages of lists, that are normally very easy to navigate, and are also usually divided up in to a "main page" of the best links of the day, and various sub-sections which help you to definitely get exposure in additional relevant circles.

3. Links can usually be "voted on" to determine which links have more airtime on the front page of various sections. The more votes your links get, the greater traffic they get.

4. Some sites, like Digg, attach a weighting to certain actions and users, so a person who submits popular links will have a vote that carries more importance.

5. Most social bookmark creating site users are fairly jaded with regards to the internet, and will ignore items that aren't interesting, funny, or very entertaining. This is simply not a place for your boring press releases.

6. Most bookmarking sites will often have some kind of "social" element for them, allowing users to generate profiles, have a friends listing of other users, etc., with the hope of getting users to share with you content between themselves.

These are the basics, so let's check out how best to approach social bookmark submitting. I'm going to use Reddit and Digg as my main examples, having said that that Reddit itself requires a great deal of familiarity with its culture prior to being able to submit links that anybody even selects.

Choose your niche

Social Bookmarking - Submitting articles on growing bonsai trees to the front page of Reddit won't do you any good - you'll get 30 visitors maybe, none of whom will buy your products. But submitting it to /r/bonsai, though it only has around 1,100 readers, will most likely garner you more attention from interested people.

Ironically, submitting to /r/trees may have much less of an effect, because /r/trees is dedicated to marijuana culture. The lesson the following is: know your subreddits.

Write a catchy title, and use an image

Social Bookmarking - Standard newspaper/advert headline formats fail to work too well on the internet, because everyone has become resistant to them. Instead you should think of a clever title that interests people enough to learn more about what you're writing, or at least promise pictures of cats.

Most bookmarking sites include a thumbnail from the page you're linking to, or one you provide. Consider the trouble to do this - it generates greater click throughs.

Keep at it, and make your links easy to share

Social Bookmarking is focused on persistence, so if nobody selects your first link, make another article, think of a more clever title and check out again. Put a social bookmarking widget on your blog or website, and encourage people to talk about your articles. If you've submitted them already, and the've accounts, it only takes an additional to click an "upvote" or "like" button.

Basically, having links to all of your articles on half dozen Social Bookmarking sites is great for SEO.
