Social Bookmark Strategies for Rookies

Social bookmark sites like Delicious and StumbleUpon are a fun way to find and store great websites. Unlike an everyday BM stored only on your own computers browser, a social BM is given to the BMcommunity, allowing others to determine what 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 in the habit of BM things in your browser, which means this is a new habit. But many of the social bookmark sites have plugins you are able to install in 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 will see all of your bookmarks and visit the same sites. Be sure that your description is accurate, , nor use abbreviations or jargon, make it clear and precise. - Delicious

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

4. Make good use of tags. Tags help you, among others, understand what the website is about. Something such as "cool site" is meaningless. Be very accurate and can include details inside your tags.

5. Don't bookmark more than one page inside a domain. It is a temptation folks have when bookmarking their own sites as a method to getting no cost traffic. There is nothing wrong with this, if however you leave a bookmark for every post on your site it will likely be monotonous for some individuals and they're going to stop checking all of your bookmarks. - Delicious

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

In the event you follow these rules and bookmark consistently you are able to both give, and obtain a lot of value from social bookmarking. - Delicious
