Social Bookmark Strategies for Rookies

Social bookmark sites like Delicious and StumbleUpon are an easy way to discover and store great websites. Unlike a normal BM stored only in your pcs browser, a social BM is given to the BMcommunity, allowing others to find out everything you BM, and the other way around. Here are a few do's and don'ts of SBM.

1. Use SBM over private bookmarks. Maybe you are within the habit of BM things inside your browser, so this would have been a new habit. Quite a few the social bookmark sites have plugins you can install in your browser, making it easy and convenient to BM everything publicly.

2. Use a good title. Remember, a SBM isn't only for you, others will discover all of your bookmarks and look at the same sites. Be sure that your description is accurate, , nor use abbreviations or jargon, make it clear and precise. - Full Report

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

4. Make use of tags. Tags help you, and others, know what the website is about. Something like "cool site" is meaningless. Be very accurate and will include details within your tags.

5. Don't bookmark more than one page inside a domain. This is a temptation people have when bookmarking their own sites as a way that will get free traffic. You'll find nothing wrong with this, if however you leave a bookmark for each article on your own site it will be monotonous for others and they'll stop checking your bookmarks. - Delicious

6. Whether it's not good to others, don't bookmark it. Sometimes you find websites that are meaningful for you, but of little value to others. Bookmark these privately so the quality of your social bookmarks stays high.

Should you follow these rules and bookmark consistently you can both give, and acquire plenty of value from social bookmark submitting. - Delicious
