Social Bookmarking is a way to share any website with other people on the Internet. Social bookmarking sites use tagging, voting, or a combination of both to determine what the most popular links are. These links get front page exposure for their catagory and recieve thousands of traffic AND backlinks. This is the reason to submit to them you get a boost in the search engine rankings, more traffic, and backlinks from the people that enjoy your site.I decided to create a list of social bookmarking sites ranking the most popular ones to help everyone like me that could not find a concrete list to use.
