If used correctly, social bookmarking can be very useful, but time consuming

Social bookmarking site is different from a social networking site. Digg and Delicious are social bookmarking sites. Social bookmarking can help us in our link building campaign and it can drive visitors (traffic) to our site/blog.

SB TIPS:

• Quality Bookmarks - Provide the social bookmarking sites with useful, unique and interesting information through your bookmarks.
• Catchy titles - Put catchy titles that will easily get the attention of other SB users but be sure that those titles are related with the information found in your post/bookmark.
• Socialize - Comments on other related bookmarks by other users.

Time consuming? Why? I guess you were submitting your bookmarks in tons of social bookmarking sites. I suggest that you should submit your bookmarks only to those SB sites that can give your more and real benefits. You should balance your time consumed and the results you are getting. Social bookmarking is not the only way to build backlinks for your site. I mean, don't waste your time in unworthy SB sites. In that way, you can try to use/experiment on other SEO techniques or you can improve your SEO skills by reading SEO-related articles from reliable sources.

Social Bookmarking is indeed very time consuming mico. Even if you think that you just need to bookmark a link and you're all set, that's just not how it works always. Participating on these social bookmarking sites or social networking websites shouldn't just be dropping links and all that, you need to participate and interact with other members, that's why it is called social..

Yep, participating in SB sites is time consuming because aside from submitting your links/bookmarks, you also need to socialize with other SB users (kindly refer to what I posted previously ).

What I'm trying to say is... social bookmarking can eat-up all our time if we're going to participate in tons of SB sites, including those unworthy ones. Again, SB is not the only way to build backlinks and drive traffic to our site. We should balance our consumed time to the benefits that we're getting.
