    Hi cjed.. go to socialmarker.com and you will find the answer that you need and list of all social bookmarking sites. It actually allows you to post your links and bookmark them. Some sites would able you to bookmark your newly published articles, etc.
    It surely is very beneficial for back links. If you are also familiar with twitter and facebook - 2 major social media, you can start with these two for good backlinks. If you have more questions - I can help you.

      Social bookmarking is a technique by which internet users store, organize, search and manage bookmarks of websites on the Internet with the help of metadata.

      In a social bookmarking system, internet users save links to websites that want to remember and / or share. These social bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with individuals or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private funds. Only authorized persons can view these social bookmarks sequentially, by category or tags, or through a search engine.

      But most social bookmarking sites are no follow, so there's no link juice to be gained only traffic, which taking into account that most sites being promoted here are made for adsense or affiliate review sites there will be very little interest and click throughs
      Still don't see how and where social bookmarking fits into a link building strategy.

    It is all about the footprint out there regardless of the back links. The more you are in front of the buying public, the more sales you make. It is a numbers game.

    Social Bookmarking is submitting a URL, typically a blog post or some worthy piece of content, to the social directories.

    The most common is Digg, but there are many more. It gets your content indexed quickly.

    I mostly use Social Bookmarking to help index my pages, and for fast ranking.

    I think francoza explained what Social Bookmarking is, very well.

    With social bookmarking sites, people can store, share, search and manage bookmarks of websites on the Internet. Perhaps most social bookmarking sites are useless to SEO because of "NoFollow", but you can gain big traffic from these sites if you can promote your sites there.

    In my experience social bookmarking is not a 'quick fix' to get you higher serps. The aim of what you should be trying to do is develop your own network of twitter, facebook,myspace etc.. sites that all interlink with each other. You really have to put a lot of time into creating the articles,blogs or tweets so that it will be seen as valuble enough for poeple to bookmark the content. It's basicly like every other form of marketing; hard word=hard results.
    I like what maxsinclair said above; 'it's a numbers game' - you hit it right on the button!

    For me social bookmarking is just a very easy and workable method to get high quality backlinks and highly targeted visitors.

    There are 100s of sites present over the google where you can learn how to do social bookmarkng. Social Marker is one of them.

    Social bookmarking is people keep their bookmark collections on a website with the
    help of metadata. The benefit of using social bookmarking is you can keep your bookmarks together
    and consolidate them in one place and you can access them from anywhere. You can
    share your bookmarks with your friends or you can view theirs as well, another
    advantage is google bot index these community web sites very fast. One more thing
    if someone likes your article they actually publish it on their site with your url
    that means free traffic for you as well.
