Top social bookmark sites

List of bookmark sites

Social bookmarkers or bookmarking sites help us find the webpage, photograph, video or any such content that appears interesting to us in the first instance and has the potential of serving as the reference material. Procedure is similar to bookmark a site in your Internet browser's bookmark feature. However, you can not retrieve the page with internet browser if you are away from your system. This problem is no more associated with bookmark sites. Anywhere, anytime, you can find the web page saved with a social bookmark site provided you are connected to the net. Not only this, another advantage of book marking a page is that it can be shared among interested people if you agree to this option at the time of bookmarking a webpage. All the information of your interest available on net in any form can be bookmarked with a single bookmark site.

A list of top social bookmark sites is given below to help users to drive more traffic to their blogs or sites. Before tagging your pages you have to register with these sites and after completing registration you have to add links in your internet browser and then it becomes easy to tag your pages with these sites.
