It seems as though one of the “hottest topics” nowadays in the Search Engine Marketing industry is social bookmarking. All the search engine marketers are talking about it now, and if you’re a search engine marketer–or just a marketer in general–or want to get more hits on your website, then you need to pay attention to social bookmarking, too.

First, you need to create some link bait. If you’re not familiar with the term “link bait”, then you might want to read that article I wrote a while back–talks about how you can use link bait to “catch better rankings”.

Anyhow, once you’ve done some linkbaiting and put the content on your own site, then you will need to do some social networking and social bookmarking. Social bookmarking is a way for you to save your favorite bookmarks–and pass them on to others. The more people in who bookmark a particular URL in a certain period of time, the more “popular” that bookmark becomes–and the more people who will visit that URL.

Here’s 130 social bookmarking web sites that I’ve carefully selected (hand picked) to be among the best sites to accomodate your own linkbaiting…for search engine marketing purposes, of course! These sites are listed in alphabetical order.
