SEO with BookMarking
Bookmarking is a concept where user can store the address of a webpage in a personalized location for future reference.
The idea of a bookmark is a user find certain page relevant or important for his/her use and might return to that page later for reference.
Therefore a webpage bookmarked has a human vote of relevance.
Bookmarks can be stored offline & online. Offline bookmarks are stored on PC, desktop, or internet browser such as IE or Firefox. This is specifically stored and used by the same single user of PC or computer.
Online Bookmarks are slightly different in concept. Here the user can store their bookmarks online, which can be available to them whenever internet is accessible.
Another important / key feature of these bookmarks online is the user has access to other bookmarks stored by other users under the same tag or other tags.
This means user not only access to their bookmarks but other bookmarks as well. When a person bookmarks a page the system displays how many other users have also bookmarked this page.
The system also displays top WebPages under different categories based on number of people bookmarking the page. These top bookmarks are listed on the homepage. This gives better relevancy as compared to searching on search engines.
