Social Bookmark - Social bookmarking is the practice of posting links to articles and webpages to various "link aggregator" or social bookmark sites, for example Digg, Stumbleupon and so on. Social bookmarking sites rise and fall in popularity rapidly, but they generally have several common features:

1. Users can submit links which other users can browse, providing a sensible way to expose your content.

2. Links enter into large pages of lists, which can be normally very easy to navigate, and tend to be usually divided up in to a "main page" of the best links of the day, and various sub-sections which help you to get exposure in more relevant circles.

3. Links usually can be "voted on" to determine which links get more airtime on the front page of varied sections. The more votes your links get, the more traffic they get.

4. Some sites, like Digg, fasten a weighting to certain actions and users, so an individual who submits very popular links will have a vote that carries more importance.

5. Most social bookmark creating site users are fairly jaded with regards to the internet, and will ignore things that aren't interesting, funny, or very entertaining. This is not a place for your boring press releases.

6. Most bookmarking sites usually have some kind of "social" element in their mind, allowing users to generate profiles, have a friends list of other users, etc., with the aspiration of getting users to share content between themselves.

Social Bookmark - These are the basics, so let's take a look at how best to approach social bookmark submitting. I'm going to use Reddit and Digg as my main examples, having said that that Reddit itself takes a great deal of familiarity with its culture until you are able to submit links that anybody even selects.

Choose your niche

Submitting articles on growing bonsai trees to the front page of Reddit won't make you any money - you'll get 30 visitors maybe, none who will buy your products. But submitting it to /r/bonsai, though it only has around 1,100 readers, will likely garner you more attention from interested people.

Ironically, submitting to /r/trees could have much less of an effect, because /r/trees is dedicated to marijuana culture. The lesson the following is: know your subreddits.

Write a catchy title, and use an image

Standard newspaper/advert headline formats don't work too well on the internet, because everyone has become immune to them. Instead you need to think of a clever title that interests people enough for more information about what you're writing, or at least promise pictures of cats.

Most bookmarking sites include a thumbnail from the page you're linking to, or one you provide. Go ahead and take trouble to do this - it generates greater click throughs.

Keep at it, and make your links an easy task to share

Social Bookmark - Social bookmarking is focused on persistence, so if nobody clicks on your first link, make another article, make a more clever title and attempt again. Put a social bookmark creating widget on your blog or website, and encourage people to share with you your articles. If you've submitted them already, and the've accounts, it only takes an additional to click an "upvote" or "like" button.

Basically, having links to all of your articles on six social bookmarking sites is great for SEO.
