How does Social Bookmarking work?  The basic idea is that instead of  saving bookmarked website links to your  home computer, you save them instead to an online account. Bookmark links in this online account exist in public pages on the website, so a link to your blog or website on a social bookmarking site counts as a backlink.

There are some great  features associated with Social  Bookmarking. These sites usually have a high pagerank in Google so your  Social Bookmarking  backlinks are high quality links. Social Bookmarking sites are places where  people share their bookmarks. So FREE Traffic can often arrive at your bookmarked website or blog  when people explore other people’s bookmarked links. Yeah for viral Traffic.

There are heaps of Social Bookmarking sites that you can join, StumbleUpon is one of the more popular sites.  Usually you just sign up on these sites, then download and install a Social Bookmarking toolbar in your browser.  As  you explore the  bookmarked websites or blogs  if you come across one that you like or wish to promote you simply click a toolbar icon and it will create a bookmark link for you.
