I was introduced to a new ideaof social bookmarking, I got the website url here at active rain.
Here is the concept, in case you are unfamiliar with it:
I am sure the majority of you use your favorites list or bookmark websites. That list can grow quickly, and can only be used on one computer. Instead you can now use a social bookmarking website, like http://delicious.com/.
Here you can organize your "favorites" by tags. I think of tags as categories. When you add a website you can also add a note to jog your memory later. The social part comes in because you can share your bookmarks with anyone you want. What a great way to discover new websites and ideas!
All you have to do is go to delicious.com, and setup an account (it is FREE). They just want basic info, name, and e-mail. From there you download buttons for your web browser. Once it is installed it will automatically add the bookmarks you have now in for you. It was so easy.
Social Bookmarking can help increase website traffic to your website. You can list your website and what it has to offer, and share it with everyone. This will increase your exposure.
Also, If your website has listings and you use social bookmarking to mark each listing on your website the web bots will come and you will increase your google rating!
Here is a quick 3 minute video that explains it more in detail:
