The Importance of Social Bookmarking and Sharing Sites

If you are the owner of a website, it means you’ve probably got something to say to people or show people. Increasing viewership of your website is a goal that almost all of us share.

So, you’ve told your friends, family, and your colleagues…heck, maybe you even tell people you pass on the street how cool your new website is…but, let’s face it, that’s only going to get you so far. With so many people out there on the Internet, there’s bound to be some people out there who are interested in what you have to say or show.

One of the main ways information is shared now on the internet is through social bookmarking sites. Many of you may already be a part of this phenomenon and not realize it. For example, the popular social networking site Facebook has, among other things, a feature that allows you to share interesting sites and content.

You may have noticed this graphic: at the bottom of most of my posts. It contains links to allow you to share the content you read in my blog posts on some of the most popular social bookmarking sites. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be discussing each of them in detail. Check back often, and, if you find the content interesting, subscribe to my blog either through the RSS feed or email notification.
