Social Bookmark Methods for Rookies

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

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

2. Use a good title. Remember, a SBM is not only for you personally, others might find all of your bookmarks and visit the same sites. Be sure that your description is accurate, , nor use abbreviations or jargon, inform you and precise. - Delicious

3. Make use of a good description. As above, make it clear and understandable for other people.

4. Make use of tags. Tags enable you to, among others, know what your website is approximately. Something such as "cool site" is meaningless. Be very accurate and include details inside your tags.

5. Don't bookmark several page in the domain. This can be a temptation folks have when bookmarking their own sites as a method for you to get free traffic. There's nothing wrong using this, however if you leave a bookmark for each post on your site it will be monotonous for some individuals and they will stop checking all of your bookmarks. - Delicious

6. If it's not good to other people, don't bookmark it. Sometimes you come across sites that are meaningful to you personally, but of little value to others. Bookmark these privately so the quality of one's social bookmarks stays high.

If you follow these rules and bookmark consistently you can both give, and obtain a lot of value from social bookmarking. - Delicious
