From Digg to Delicious, social bookmarking gets your name and your brand in front of millions of eyes without much effort.
Exactly what is social bookmarking? Per Wikipedia, "Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata."
Boiled down, it's the "Email This" or "Share This" option you see on a lot of online news stories these days. I've you've ever e-mailed a friend or a collegue a story, you've committed social bookmarking.
But we can't all spend our days "E-Mail(ing) this" to our friends and family in hopes of raising your site traffic. What you can do, is become part of the myriad social bookmarking sites which include:
Digg (http://www.digg.com)
Reddit (http://www.reddit.com)
StumbleUpon (http://www.stumbleupon.com)
Del.icio.us (http://www.del.icio.us.com)
Furl (http://www.furl.com)
