What is "bookmarking"?
‘Bookmarking’ is short for ‘social bookmarking’. Social bookmarking websites like  del.icio.usFurl allow users to store their internet bookmarks (personal links to sites they like) on the web. Traditionally, people kept their track of their bookmarks in their web browsers (your browser probably has a ‘Bookmarks’ menu above this page), but this has drawbacks. It means that the user can’t see her bookmarks when she is at another computer, and it means her friends can’t see her bookmarks either – even if she wants them to be able to.
Social bookmarking sites solve these problems by letting users store and view their bookmarks as web pages. Users can choose to share their bookmarks with their friends, or even with the whole internet. Most social bookmarking sites are free of charge and have various ways to make bookmarking quick and easy.
At the end of each of our website’s articles, we have buttons for several major social bookmarking sites. If you are registered with one of these sites, you will be able to use the appropriate button to bookmark the article with just one click!

Social Bookmarking:Advantages 


Social Bookmarking helps in increasing the Rank in SERP Results by
sharing,
organizing,
managing and sharing Bookmarks of the web resources for discovering the best positions or
Rank in SERP.
Advantages-
Human cognition:-With regard to creating a high-quality search engine, a social bookmarking system has several advantages
over traditional automated resource location and classification software, such as search engine spiders. All tag-based
classification of Internet resources (such as web sites) 
is done by human beings, who understand the content of the resource,
as opposed to software, which algorithmically attempts to determine the meaning of a resource. Also, people can find and
bookmark web pages that have not yet been noticed or indexed by web spiders.
Complex systems dynamics and emergent vocabularies:-A simple form of shared vocabularies does emerge in social bookmarking
systems (folksonomy). Collaborative tagging exhibits a form of complex systems (or self-organizing) dynamics.[17] Although
there 
is no central controlled vocabulary to constrain the actions of individual users, the distributions of tags that
describe different resources have been shown to converge over time to stable power law distributions.
