What are Social Bookmarks?

Links to Social Bookmarking websites can now be found near the bottom of most stores powered by Free Webstore. There are now around 50 options to choose from, so you or your customers will be able to spread the word about your store even more!

Social Bookmarking websites work in a similar way to regular bookmarks - they allow you to store a link for easy access in future. However, there are several additional benefits to Social Bookmarking websites, some of which may benefit your webstore; some simply enhance the features of bookmarking:

• You can share bookmarks over the internet with people you know and people with similar interests, which is a potential source of traffic for your webstore;
• Most bookmark lists remain publicly visible, which means search engines can see the links pointing to your store. This can help with your Search Engine Optimisation efforts;
• They allow you to tag each bookmark with keywords of your choosing, which makes managing them and finding the link you want incredibly easy;
• Your bookmarks are no longer limited to a single computer - you can access them from any computer with an Internet connection.

If your customers find a page on your webstore that they find interesting or want to share with other people, they can simply click on one of the Social Bookmarking links to add it to their bookmarks.

All Social Bookmarking websites are free to use but generally require that you register. Every site has it's own system, and you can find more information on a few of the main services below:
