Social Bookmark Strategies for Rookies

Social bookmark sites like Delicious and StumbleUpon are an easy way to find and store great websites. Unlike an everyday BM stored only on your computers browser, a social BM is given to the BMcommunity, allowing others to find out 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. Maybe you are within the practice of BM things inside your browser, so this will be a new habit. But many of the social bookmark sites have plugins it is possible to install in your browser, making it convenient and easy to BM everything publicly.

2. Make use of a good title. Remember, a SBM isn't only for you personally, others will see all of your bookmarks and go to the same sites. Ensure that your description is accurate, , nor use abbreviations or jargon, inform you and precise. - Delicious

3. Use a good description. As above, let you know and understandable for other people.

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

5. Don't bookmark multiple page in the domain. This can be a temptation individuals have when bookmarking their own sites as a way that will get no-cost traffic. There is nothing wrong using this, however if you leave a bookmark for each post on your own site it will be monotonous for others and they'll stop checking your bookmarks. - Delicious

6. Whether it's useless to other people, don't bookmark it. Sometimes you find websites that are meaningful to you personally, but of little value to other people. Bookmark these privately and so the quality of one's social bookmarks stays high.

If you follow these rules and bookmark consistently it is possible to both give, and acquire a lot of value from social bookmarking. - Delicious
