Bookmarking
This is the final article in this series about making your blog work for you instead of the other way around. In previous articles you’ve found places to shop for themes, personalized the theme, plugged-in options, and submitted a Google Sitemap. In this last article in this series you’ll learn a very cool way of submitting your site to many different bookmark sites at the same time.
Why bookmark?
Bookmarking is much like adding pages to your favorites file but with more power. Sites like Digg, Blinklist, and Furl give the user the opportunity to list their favorite sites or posts so that others can see them and visit also. These are a personal collection of bookmarks that you share with others and that create backlinks to your site. Users of the different social bookmark networks can add links to their own collection, subscribe to other’s lists and visit sites they would not have otherwise found.
There are many different social bookmarking sites on the Internet today. The list is pretty extensive. If you have to post your links to each of them it would take an hour a day.
Now there is a free service that you can use to bookmark approximate 19 different services all at once. After you’ve set up your account it literally takes 1 minute to bookmark 19 sites. And then you have 19 backlinks to your blog.
