Hello,

I am trying to understand social bookmarking to me. How does it work and what are the benefits of using it for SEO. As I understand it, the it is used to index your pages quicker because google crawls these sites alot.

Do you get actual links from social bookmarking?
Just indexed quicker?

      It's really ironic that he is correcting you when he hasn't learned proper sentence structure. Not to mention that the word is "I'm" not "Im". LOL

      Bookmarking is when you save a url to your computer. Social bookmarking is basically the same thing except you are using a public service such as delicious or Digg and sharing it with others.


      Here's a great intro to social bookmarking:

      The SEO advantages are:

      1. Backlinks (although some bookmarking sites are nofollow)
      2. Your site may get indexed faster
      3. The tags you choose for your submission may help your keyword rankings
      Hope this helps!
