Social bookmarking is an extremely powerful tool in promoting, as well as optimising your website. It is a method for web users to gather, search, organise and manage bookmarks from website pages with metadata assistance.

Users of social bookmarking save links to a web page that they wish to remember and/or share.

Social bookmark services users usually organise their bookmarks with informal tags instead of a browser-based system of folders from the relationship of tags to create clusters of tags or bookmarks.

Most social bookmarking services provide web feeds for their bookmark lists, including those organised by tags thus allowing subscribers to become aware of new bookmarks whenever they are saved, shared, and tagged by others.
