If you are just getting into internet marketing, there are many areas which are touched upon, but not clearly explained enough for you to understand them. One of these areas is social bookmarking. It raises eyebrows straight away, and when people just fly by it in internet marketing programs, you can loose a connection with what it is you are trying to do. Most internet, 'gurus' and teachers often forget that when they were newbies, it took them a long time to digest information, yet over the years they seem to think everyone else has learnt all the terms they have obtained.

Social bookmarking really is quite simply to understand itself. There are many social bookmarking websites out there, each of them kind of has a different theme, yet anything can be bookmarked on them. Websites such as digg.com, delicous and mister wong are all social bookmarking websites. You can become a member of them for free, then see what thousands of people are using social bookmarking for. You'll see articles, web pages and much more on there, all about different subjects. So it will appear like so, someone's username will appear in listings, then a link to whatever they have bookmarked.

Those links that are being bookmarked is what social bookmarking is all about, those links are why people use it for internet marketing. If you understand the process of back-linking you will see the similarity in social bookmarking. Each time you post a link on a social bookmarking site, you are creating another back-link. Then you would repeat the process putting the link on many different social bookmarking websites, it can be a lengthy procedure, but once you have all your accounts set up, you never have to do that bit again! There's even software which will do it for you these days!

Now you may be thinking, ok this is all well a and good, but what does it do for my business? Good question! Each time you create a new social bookmark for articles or web pages from your website, you are improving its visibility in the search engines such as Google, Yahoo or Bing. If you have thousands bookmarked, you could well appear on the first page of Google with your website, and all based on your keyword research.

So appearing on the first page of a search engine for your keyword is certainly something that interests internet marketers, as it can help them profit from their business. A great way to do all of this is sometimes by using a social bookmarking service. The reason for this is most social bookmarking services have a great system in place which allows them to create thousands of these bookmarks for you, and it will all be done by professionals, and you can sit back, and watch your website creep up to that first page of Google.

The best thing about these services is that they are often very cheap to use, and they perform a high quality service, which really boosts your business into the next level.
