At social networking sites we communicate and build relationships. We can also share websites and other content with each other.
At social bookmarking sites we primarily share websites and other content with each other and with search engines. However, we can also communicate and build relationships.
What is the difference between a social bookmarking site and a social networking site?
Our priorities. Online social bookmarking emphasizes content, while online social networking emphasizes relationships.
Benefits of Social Bookmarking Sites
If you publish a blog or own some other website, you probably want visitors, and backlinks too. Social bookmarking sites will help you in these ways.
- You share your site with the community. They visit it and rate it. You can form relationships that lead to quality backlinks for your site.
- Search engines take note that your site is bookmarked. Bookmarking is a form of recommendation. Search engines react favorably to your site’s presence in the community.
My Favorite Social Bookmarking Sites
The social bookmarking sites I use most often are StumbleUpon, Technorati, propeller, del.icio.us, Spicy Page and Digg. See the list on my sidebar and at Social Marker, a tool that streamlines the bookmark submission process.
I also use blog traffic sites, notably Entrecard and Link Referral. The latter can also be used to promote a static website. I’ve made valuable connections at Entrecard and have learned much from the blogs I visited there.
Regular participation at social networking sites will do wonders for your popularity. Reqular posting and participation at social bookmarking sites will do the same for your blogs and other websites.
