Social Bookmark Methods for Rookies

Social bookmark sites like Delicious and StumbleUpon are an easy way to locate and store great websites. Unlike a regular BM stored only on your personal computers browser, a social BM is shared with the BMcommunity, allowing others to see everything you BM, and the other way round. Below are a few do's and don'ts of SBM.

1. Use SBM over private bookmarks. You are probably in the practice of BM things in your browser, and this is a new habit. But many of the social bookmark sites have plugins you are able to install within your browser, which makes it convenient and easy to BM everything publicly.

2. Use a good title. Remember, a SBM isn't only for you personally, others might find your bookmarks and go to the same sites. Be sure that your description is accurate, and don't use abbreviations or jargon, inform you and precise. - Delicious

3. Make use of a good description. As above, let you know and understandable for others.

4. Make good use of tags. Tags assist you to, among others, know what your website is all about. Something like "cool site" is meaningless. Be very accurate and include details within your tags.

5. Don't bookmark more than one page inside a domain. This can be a temptation individuals have when bookmarking their own sites as a way to getting free traffic. There is nothing wrong with this, however if you depart a bookmark for each and every article on your own site it will likely be monotonous for other people and they will stop checking all your bookmarks. - Delicious

6. If it's of no use to others, don't bookmark it. Sometimes you discover websites that are meaningful to you, but of little value to other people. Bookmark these privately and so the quality of the social bookmarks stays high.

Should you follow these rules and bookmark consistently you can both give, and get lots of value from social bookmark creating. - Delicious
