Social Bookmarking Services: Choosing the Legitimate Ones
Overview
Social bookmarking is a transformative way for internet users to store, share, and search web page bookmarks. As popularity grows, some users misuse it with black-hat SEO tactics to boost site visibility. Here’s how to navigate and choose reliable services.
What is Social Bookmarking?
Social bookmarking allows users to save links to web pages they want to remember or share. Many platforms offer organized lists with features like ratings, comments, web annotation, and social networking capabilities. These services notify users of new bookmarks as they’re saved and tagged by others.
Getting Started
Joining social bookmarking sites is straightforward and usually free. One of the largest platforms is del.icio.us. To get started, register, and consider adding browser buttons to simplify the tagging process. Most sites have user-friendly interfaces and require just an email and password to begin. Members can easily post, review, and transfer bookmarks, making sharing seamless.
Benefits of Social Bookmarking
Social bookmarking thrives on openness. Users often make their tagged bookmarks publicly viewable, leading to quality link recommendations. Some platforms even let members rank site usefulness, often resulting in better quality suggestions than traditional search engines, which rely on visit counts.
Avoiding Unscrupulous Practices
Despite its benefits, social bookmarking is not immune to misuse. Some individuals exploit it to boost SEO rankings, submitting the same links or abusing popular tags. This has forced sites to implement anti-spam measures, sometimes complicating legitimate use.
Challenges also exist with tag-based systems, such as inconsistent keywords, capitalization issues, and mistagging due to spelling errors. These issues highlight the importance of responsible and ethical use of social bookmarking tools.
By being aware of these pitfalls and selecting reputable services, users can effectively leverage social bookmarking for legitimate and beneficial purposes.
