Social Bookmarking
Social bookmarks are web resources where users add, edit, and delete links to pages they care about.
Some people still do not know what social bookmarks are. They can be compared with bookmarks in the browser, when all sites are saved and they can be viewed at any time. They are convenient because the information does not occupy too much space on the computer, but is stored in the personal account of the selected service and is accessible from any device with the Internet connected. In addition, you can draw an analogy with web directories, but here the users themselves keep their links.
Previously, it was used to get backlinks, but now this method is not effective.
Current situation
Nowadays, social bookmarks are no longer so popular, but rather have low rates for promotion and are considered spam resources, because unlike directories, moderation is quite rare and users can write any text about sites. Therefore, the static weight is practically not transmitted. In addition, some social bookmarks close pages from indexing, which does not bring any benefit to the page being promoted. Search engines do not like spam and may impose filters, from which there will be additional problems instead of promotion.

Social bookmarks for promotion
Submission to social bookmarks: what is it
Submission or submission, from the English word “submit” – submit, submit – is adding a project to various resources in order to increase traffic. Accordingly, submitting to social bookmarking is publishing an address, optimizing for attracting the attention of the reader and getting an audience.
Recommendations
1. When adding a site, focus on people, not on search robots.
2. Avoid spelling mistakes in descriptions, headlines: they will not inspire confidence in anyone.
3. Choose the title correctly: first optimize for low-frequency queries, especially young projects that will not achieve high RF competition from the start. Match keywords for tasks and goals.
4. Pay attention to the uniqueness: when publishing a resource on the same page, change the headings, tags, descriptions, so that it does not look like spam.
5. Nobody likes spam messages, for their posting they get strict measures and filters, which is bad for their reputation and position in search engines.
6. Do not publish bookmarks often: you may be mistaken for a spammer.
7. Use multiple accounts.
8. For naturalness, add other sources besides promoted.
9. Post updates regularly.
Currently, social bookmarks are user-friendly: you no longer need to store all your favorite sources in the browser, endlessly downloading them unnecessarily, wasting traffic and device resources.
Using services makes it easy to work with them: you can easily add, delete, search for similar topics and share your tastes with other readers. For web projects, this is an opportunity to talk about yourself, but you can’t count on much, because social bookmarking services are more accepted as spam than really useful for promotion, but they can help with something, for example, in a small increase in the target audience.
