Social bookmarking is a great tool to have in your arsenal of online marketing techniques. Although many shy away from social bookmarking after not seeing fast results, the benefits are outstanding to say the least.

Social bookmarking is very popular these days and more and more people jump on the bandwagon each and every day. A few of the more popular social bookmarking sites include Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Delicious and Diggo. Below you can read about a few of the benefits that come with social bookmarking.

Surges in Traffic

Social bookmarking has the potential to send thousands of visitors to your site in a very short timeframe. This happens when one of your bookmarks goes viral and hundreds of other people also bookmark it. This means that a large group of people will see your link and visit your site to find out more about the topic at hand.

Fast Search Engine Indexing

This is one of the best benefits of social bookmarking. With new content constantly being added to social bookmarking sites like Digg and StumbleUpon, the search engine spiders need to regularly search such sites in order to keep up to date.

When this happens, the spiders will crawl everything that they can find which in turn leads to the search engine index being updated with any new pages that are found. This means that a brand new site can be listed in the search engines within a couple of hours after bookmarking it.

SEO Benefits

The benefits here are a little more long term than the others. One of the main parts of search engine optimization is creating back links for your website/page. Back links tend to act like popularity votes for the search engines and a site with more back links is likely to be ranked higher in the search engine results.

When you bookmark a website or page you create a permanent one way link from the social bookmarking site to your site. In time, you will create thousands of back links that will send your website to the top of the search engine results for your chosen keywords and phrases. Although it can take some time to get ranked high in the search engines, the benefits of a high ranking are fantastic.

And there you have it, 3 great benefits of social bookmarking. Feel free to bookmark this article if you found it to be useful and I wish you the best of luck for your future of social bookmarking.
