How many times have you found a great website and wanted to share its immense value with others?
Welcome to Social Bookmarking and Tagging, the powerful practice of adding URLs into a social content
website and ‘tagging’ them with familiar keywords.
Creating a collection of Social Bookmarks is easy. Simply register with a site such as
http://www.delicious.com, www.stumbleupon.com and www.digg.com where you can store Social Bookmarks
and add Tagging – simple descriptions to make finding these sites easier for everyone. Visitors to these
websites can quickly find your Social Bookmarks by searching for websites by such criteria as keywords,
phrases, contributing user or frequency of nomination.

Social content websites like delicious.com and digg.com allow people to share their favorite websites with
others and in some cases (like digg) enable the addition of comments. It’s becoming common for websites to
include icons or links to the most popular social tagging sites to encourage visitors to tag them, with a view to
generating more site traffic.

Social tagging forms a vital element of social media optimization (SMO), a way to enhance the placement of
websites on social media sites. Simple SMO techniques include the addition of RSS feeds, a “Share/Tag This
Page” device for users to improve your standing with a quick click, and incorporating third-party features such
as Flickr photos and YouTube videos.
