12. Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is similar to the idea of bookmarking we all know but it allows your bookmarked websites to be kept on the web server instead of just the computer’s hard drive like what the Favourites tool does. Users who sign up for an account can have access to the services on the social bookmarking sites whereby you can bookmark websites under categories of your choice. These categories are like tags and this suggests that you can decide where you want to store the websites. Tags are usually not specific so it gives more flexibility in categorizing.
Social bookmarking sites are good places to link web users to one another. Users of social bookmarking sites will link themselves to each other and this connected chain provides an avenue to create traffic and backlinks.
