Bookmarking target Websites with Delicious and Blinklist Target websites are individual websites you want to bookmark. You may have many websites, or you may have many pages throughout your website you want to tag and mark. You can take a target website and bookmark it one by one if you want. The process is simple. You can go to a dozen social bookmarking sites, but let’s just start with the two we are already working with.
Let’s say you go to your website, www.socialaddress.com What you want to do is copy some of the information on the page, you can use Control C or Edit, copy from your toolbar menu, then clicks your “tag me” button and a window will come up. You will see the information you highlighted is added in this window. You then must add the tag.
Remember, this is where categorizing information becomes important.
You can put any tag you want. If you select a tag related to your site that is a “hot” or popular tag, you are more likely to attract more visitors to your site. Let’s say you have a site about Movies You can out the tag
“Blu-ray Movies ” and bookmark the information. Then you can save that information.

You can then click you’re “my delicious button” once you log into www.Delicous.com and make sure your tag has been saved. You will find your site and the information you added on the site. You may come across someone else has already bookmarked your site. Remember, the wonderful trick of social bookmarking is that you start the process by tagging relevant information on your site. Over time other people also start tagging your site. So as it grows ,you can build your site up and traffic will come in.
Lets Try with www.Blinklist.com, now .
You can do this by using a Control V command to paste the information you copied from your site into blinklist after you click your “blink this”
button. You can again enter any tags that you want to enter. If you then go to www.blinklist.com you can click on “my list” and find your site and the information you entered.
Other people will also visit your site, and may tag your site as well, again bringing in even more traffic.
Preferably you should choose the Public area on blinklist.com or any other social bookmarking site and enter your keywords (or your tags) into the search box. When you do this you should be able to call up your information, including a description and a link to your site. You can easily start promoting your site with the click of a button.
You can also add other booklets found on the site to your list easily, either one by one or add them all at once.

Finding the right Category to Post In
Remember categories are like keywords. You want to use “hot”
keywords or tags and categories to post your information in. the hotter the better, because more people are likely to see your information.
Social bookmarking sites provide you with Bookmarking tools you can use to find out if the categories you are listing in are popular or not. To start off ;we will use Delicious .com to find a topic.
Now think about the topic or the niche you want to search. Let’s say again you are looking for information on “Phone “. After typing in the name , you’ll notice a list of different tags come up that you can use and add as categories in your blog. Let’s say for example you put in the word “phone,” and you might find “mobile phone” and “smart phone”.
Those may be potential categories you can use. What you want to do is try to pick the categories that are most likely to attract response clicks from potential customers. This method is simple and fast will eventually help drive the most traffic to your site.
