Social Bookmarking

Social Bookmarking is the latest and biggest buzzword and goes hand in hand with social networking which is definitely the way ahead. The evidence of this is obvious as all the big serps like google and yahoo are buying up the bigger social networking sites.

Social Bookmarking Problems 

We all know that social bookmarking is the fastest way to get one way back links to our sites and now that Google et al have virtually killed reciprocal linking social bookmarking has become more important than ever.

The downside is there are a lot of problems with maintaining an effective social bookmarking strategy like nofollow tags, time consuming, too much competition on the big social bookmarking sites like deliscious etc etc.

I am in the process of creating something to take all the pain out of social bookmarking and would be very interested to hear your opinions, so that I can fine tune it to maximize it's effect.

There is a comment box directly below this text where you can put your biggest problem with social bookmarking, or your biggest success for that matter but if you are too busy there is a poll below that which just takes one click, any help would be much appreciated.

My Biggest Problem Or Success With Social Bookmarking 

This is not for feedback there is a feedback option at the bottom of the lens

Please feel free to let me know what is your biggest headache when it comes to social bookmarking

I think bookmarking is sometimes adding to the laziness.I doubt do people read the sites they bookmark atleast I do not do that.may be 2 out of 10 times I look back at the bookmarked sites.otherwise I always prefer to Google again

I have just got started putting a few sites up on the net and have heard quite a bot about social bookmarking, but don't really understand it completely although this lens has been a great help. Is there a guide or course you could recommend?

Could you give us something generic to help with tagging? Quite a few Social Bookmarking sites provide widgets (is that the right word?) to add to the Toolbar. The trouble is that quite soon you need a large number of these creating so many Toolbars that the usable screen area for browsing becomes badly reduced.

Some way of picking up tags on a page, and then quickly pasting these Tags into any Social Networking comment area would be great.

I've found that social bookmarking has become a vital part of how I promote my lenses and websites. I've also been trying to convince more new lensmasters/webmasters to use social bookmarking for their own promotion.

I have been trying to use social bookmarking for my vacation sites but not having much success and do not really have the time to create all the accounts so hopefully whatever you are doing will help with that

Social Bookmarking 

Social bookmarking sites help you find great content on the internet. These websites allow users to post content that they like. They also allow them to list and share this content with other users. You need to become a member of these sites first. Some of them are very particular about admitting the right people to their sites, but generally it is quite easy to sign up. The best part is that these sites are free for all internet users.

The Best Bookmarking Sites If you are looking for a technology related environment, then Slashdot.com is the right place for you. It is one of the original social bookmarking sites. They offer authentic information and filter out the content that you are allowed to post. It has a professional feel and has a user friendly interface.


If you want to save your time and effort, Popurls.com is the place for you. This website combines material from about two dozen social bookmarking sites. That offers the users a unique advantage. Even though it has a blue-on-black layout that makes it difficult to read, the vastness of its reach makes it worth your while.


Another technology related site is Simpy.com. It allows you to tag bookmarks created by others. You can also save others bookmarks to your own list. This website also allows you to go to others links. However, it is not very user friendly and difficult to navigate.

Thanks for the great lens. It's nice to see other people agree with me on your poll... I hate setting up all those bookmarking profiles! It is definitely worth the trouble though.
