Step 1
Understand social bookmarking. Social bookmarking is a way that Internet users can save and share the web pages that they like. A variety of social bookmarking services are available, which allow you to organize your bookmarks with tags (keywords that describe the content). Other subscribers to the social bookmarking sites can see the web pages have been recently tagged and view those pages that interest them.

Step 2
Become familiar and sign up for the more popular social bookmarking services. These include Digg, Del.icio.us, Reddit, Mixx, Stumble Upon and others.

Step 3
Submit your web pages or blog posts to the social bookmarking sites. Be sure not to submit only your content as you don't want to be seen as spamming the service. Also bookmark pages from other websites you enjoy.

Step 4
Make things simple for visitors to your site. If you want visitors to bookmark your pages as quickly and easily as possible, install bookmarking icons or widgets to make the process easier.

Return the favor by bookmarking sites that already have bookmarked you. By doing this you can boost the popularity of their site and increase traffic to yours in the long run.

Step 6
Offer interesting, original material on your website. To motivate your visitors to bookmark your site and come back on a regular basis, you need to have unique, compelling content. If you write a blog, be sure to update it daily so your site does not become stale.
