What is Social Bookmarking in SEO?

The Social bookmarking is a way for people to organize,store,search and manage bookmarks of webpages. These bookmarks are usually for public and seen by other members of the site where they are stored.Actually it is one of the way for promoting our website.
 
Social bookmarking is a great SEO tool that can help you drive targeted traffic to your website. It can also increase social signals and make your content easier to share. By bookmarking your content what you are doing is increasing your visibility and, at the same time, improving the chances of being better ranked. Social bookmarking is good to share, manage, edit our website details globally which lead to generate more traffic. All social bookmarking sites are all known as business promoting sites.
 
Social bookmarking does have an impact on SEO. If the social bookmarks are seen as unnatural links, and if there a lot of them, then they can hurt your site's SEO.

On the other hand, if your social bookmarks cause others to interact and engage with your site, then it can help your site's SEO. What we're looking for here is actual engagement, not just a link to your site.
