Social Media and Social Bookmarking

What Are Social Bookmarking Websites?

In short Social bookmarking websites are those on which people share or search web pages, blog posts, videos, images, articles etc., that other people have bookmarked with the help of metadata. Technorati, Folkd, Blinklist, Digg, Pinterest, Diigo, Del.icio.us, Reddit, StumbleUpon are some of the well- known and top most social bookmarking websites.

Do’s And Dont’s While Doing Social Bookmarking

The good thing is that there are many social bookmarking sites which give  dofollow links to their users. Bookmarking is a smart way to earn good backlinks from credible sites. Search Engines do give preference to these websites.

But before you go through this social bookmarking list beware, if you do too much of spamming there you can get penalize easily by the moderators of these websites. So never spam there and try to promote your websites or blogs in genuine manner. Don’t vigorously promote your websites content it will create panic button to moderator and they will ban you straight away. Also keep this thing in mind never promote your content too much, promote other blogs content too.

Because sharing other content will increase your credibility and you can earn good followers. So promoting other content shows that you are real blogger and people will like this. Many websites moderators will like this sharing method and you would soon gain trust of moderator. So I hope you like these High PR do follow social bookmarking sites list 2015. 

Social bookmarking is a new concept that has seen the light with the emergence of bookmarking services like the ones I cited below.Semantically speaking, ' social bookmarking' is made up of the the term " social " which is related to society and general interactions between people, and the verb " to bookmark " (used here as a gerund ending in ing) which has to do with recording and/or saving content for both later use and quick access. Weaving the semantic reference of the two words results in social bookmarking as we know it today : a collaborative and collective saving and sharing of web content.'
