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, typically in the form of tags that collectively and /or collaboratively become a folksonomy. Folksonomy is also called social tagging, “the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to share content”. In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and / or share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine. Most social bookmark services encourage users to organize their bookmarks with informal tags instead of the traditional browser-based system of folders, although some services feature categories/ folders or a combination of folders and tags. They also enable viewing bookmarks associated with a chosen tag and include information about the number of users who have bookmarked them. Some social bookmarking services also draw inferences from the relationship of tags to create clusters of tags or bookmarks. Many social bookmarking services provide web feeds for their lists of bookmarks, including lists organized by tags. This allows subscribers to become aware of new bookmarks as they are saved, shared and tagged by other users. As these services are matured and grown more popular, they have added extra features such as ratings and comments on bookmark, the ability to import and export bookmarks from browsers. 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 is done by human beings, who understand the content of 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. Additionally, a social bookmarking system can rank a resource based on how many times it has been bookmarked by users, which may be a more useful metric for end users than systems that rank resources based on the number of external links pointing to it. For users, social bookmarking can be useful as a way to access a consolidated set of bookmarks from various computers, organize large numbers of bookmarks and share bookmarks with contacts. Libraries have found social bookmarking to be useful as an easy way to provide lists of informative links to patrons. On the other hand social bookmarking possesses no standard for the structure of such tags (e.g. singular vs. plural, capitalization, etc.), mistagging due to spelling errors, tags that can have more than one meaning , unclear tags due to synonym/antonym confusion, unorthodox and personalized tag schemata from some users, and no mechanism for users to indicated hierarchical relationships between tags ( e.g., a site might be labeled as both cheese and cheddar, with no mechanism that might indicate the cheddar is refinement or sub class of cheese. Social bookmarking can also be susceptible to corruption and collusion. Due to it s popularity, some users have started considering it as a tool to use along with search engine optimization to make their website more visible. The more often a web page is submitted and tagged, the better chance it has of being found. Spammers have started bookmarking the same web page multiple times and/or tagging each page of their web site using a lot of popular tags, obliging developers to constantly adjust their security system to overcome abuses.

Reciprocal link building...
Reciprocal links a standard practice on the internet, since beginning of the internet having a vital position in link building. Reciprocal links do increase your search engine positioning, if it is used properly. Tightly –themed, link directories get high ratings from search engine robots, if they are true resources of organized knowledge. Search engines are getting very smart in their query result rankings. They include all kinds of advanced calculations pertaining to how the links point to you and away from you. They can include keywords in their algorithms and how they know how tightly linked your themes or subjects are.
A smaller, tightly-themed link directory will grow much faster than a diluted, loosely-themed, large bulky one. Your website’s traffic will increase quickly not only with visitors from your reciprocal link partners but will also increase from search engine visitors, once their robots quickly find your link directory pages through your link partners.
Since the beginning of the internet webmasters have been asking to other webmasters for reciprocal links. The very nature of the web is linking websites to one another. It is of even higher importance than Alta Vista and others have changed their ranking algorithms. If a webmaster considers your email spam then he can report you. If your emails are unique, without commercials, and are personalized with unique personal information about the webmaster’s website that you are emailing, then it would be hard to call your email spam. All webmaster must be responsible in their asking of reciprocal links.
Tightly –themed, link directories get high ratings from search engine robots but only if they are true resources of organized knowledge. Search engines are getting very smart in their query result rankings. They include all kinds of advanced calculations pertaining to how the links point to you and away from you. They can include keywords in their algorithms and now they know how tightly linked your themes or subjects are.
Your link directory’s themes must match the themes of your site. You must not let your zeal to email and perhaps get a reciprocal link, overpower your need to create a true web resource. You should be happy with organizing a tightly themed vertical link directory. Be the best in your area, linking only sites that relate you.

One way link building is an essential element for SEO and the single most important part of achieving a high –ranking website in modern search engines. One way link building campaign ensures the basic connection between websites and creates the basic relationship on the Internet. In another word we can say that one way link building is the off-page optimization part of search engine optimization. It is the process of getting quality websites to link your site, in order to improve search engine rankings and to increase the traffic. It is currently the single most important factor in increasing your search engine rankings for your targeted keywords. One way link building means hard work and long term determination to achieve good link popularity. By improving the quality of your website, you improve the chance to obtain good quality natural links. By improving the quality of your website, you improve the chance to obtain good quality natural links. Spend a set amount of time each week to seek out quality one-way links to achieve your goal. By using this long-term game plan you will be able to safely build links for optimum link popularity success. Link building in general is an important part of making sure your site ranks well in the search engines. Google and many of other search engines include link popularity as part of the way they evaluate the web pages they include in the search engine databases. Links are seen as a positive “vote” towards the quality of the web page. Each individual page acquires link popularity. It is not necessary to get totally caught up in the minutia of which types of links from which of pages are the most important. The bottom line is this : acquiring links pointing back to your website, particularly links from sites covering the same or related topics as your site, is helpful in the overall scheme of search engine ranking. The big “plus” of one-way links is that you don't have to worry about linking back to a “bad neighborhood”. If your site has links pointing back to sites that serve as “link farms” or “free-for-all” sites, you may not gain, and could actually lose page rank. These sites are rarely focused, and tend to have links to and from all different sorts of sites. Since there is no particular topical emphasis here, it is clear to Google and other search engines that the sole purpose of these sites is to artificially increase the number links pointing to your site. Since there is no value user added for the search engine's users, they in turn give no value to these links. Another advantage to these focused, one –way links is that they will tend to stay in place. A website that features a link to your site probably does so because that site's owner thinks that their visitor will benefit from the content your site has to offer. Rather than simply trying to manipulate search results, they want to add to the experience of their visitor; you benefit from having a long term link in place.
What is Link popularity..?
Link popularity is a general representation of the total number of web pages which link to a website or individual web page. Most of the major search engines support the “link :” operator.. Type in “link:” (without the quotation marks) in front of the URL about which you want to learn. Well placed links are an excellent source of consistent and targeted traffic. And due to recent developments, they can even generate additional search engine traffic to your site. In another way we can say link popularity refers to the number of hyper-links pointing to a page on the web. A popular web site tends to have large numbers of these backlinks, and obscure web pages have very few.
Link popularity is one of the most important factors to determine the position of site in search results. Generally, a site with more inbound links will be positioned higher than a similar site with fewer links. Most of the major search engines now factor link popularity into their relevancy algorithms. As a result, increasing the number of quality, relevant sites which link to your site can actually improve your search engine rankings. There is still no one “secret trick” to get good rankings, but boosting site’s popularity may give it the edge it needs. Other factors that are considered include anchor text.
Google gives a lot of importance to the number of websites that link to a website. In order to get the number of websites that link to a site, just type in a domain name in this manner link : www.your-domain.com in the search box and the number that returns is the number of incoming links to your site. On the basis of the number of incoming links to a website along with various other factors, Google provides points within 1-10 to the website. These points or page rank in the language of Google is like a measuring tool that helps the Internet surfers to know about the online popularity of that website. The page rank of a website can be obtained from the page rank tool bar of Google which can easily downloaded from the Google website.
Link popularity can be done through different methods like Reciprocal Link Exchange Programs among websites Posting messages of your websites on various message boards and guest books or Publishing articles about your website or company in other websites.
Reciprocal link exchange program deals in exchanging of links with several websites. Link exchange for a website is usually done with websites of the same industry as well as with the websites of other industries. We must always try to exchange links with websites having Google PR of 4 or more. We must look link exchange details of each of the websites. We must be aware that link page is either 1 click or maximum of two click away from the index page otherwise prospective link partners may not be interested in reciprocating your link. We should prepare link code for website which we would send or submit through a form to the prospective link partners. We should always try to include potential keywords website in the link text that is the text between the anchor tag as well as in the description provided against the link text. Google give a lot of importance to the anchor text of the incoming links.
We should always try to link on index page to link partners. Ensure that a good navigation exists within your website so that all the pages are accessible from one particular page of your website. After that we should submit these link pages to the search engines especially Google where your link has been placed by your link partners.
Link popularity can also be pursued by posting your website link message to the message boards and guest books. We can improve the link popularity of site by publishing articles or write-ups regarding your company or website in other websites.
Search engines have also begun to rank the importance of the sites that link to you. Search engine also consider the text contained in the link that is pointing to your site. If the text in the links contains keywords you are trying to compete for, the search engines consider your site to have even greater credibility.
Since link popularity has become a factor that people feel like they have some influence over in determining their search engine positioning, many solutions have been proposed for growing your online link popularity. One of the more popular ways is also one of the least effective.
The best way to build long-term link popularity is to offer good content and features that provide real value to your audience. As people discover your website and realize its benefits, the likelihood of them linking to your website naturally increases. Topic specific or niche directories are dedicated to news and information that is an exact match for what you provide online. Another pare of the web that helps to build your link popularity is resource sites. Resource sites are lists of links that people put up on their own. These pages are often spread amongst friends and readers who find good information available from the resource. In order to rich this audience, a good PR campaign and press releases can ensure that these individuals know you exist and have a link to your website that they can easily include.
One of the most overlooked spots for building link popularity is links from partner and vendors for you business, because you already have a business relationship with these companies of individuals. Link popularity also starts from home. You must make sure your link architecture is solid and easily followed by search engines. That’s the first way that search engines see you. The final way you can work to increase your link popularity is to participate in news letters and online forums that relate your website. You don’t want to just jump in and give a plug for your URL. You must participate in the discussion as an expert of authority who gives good advice.
Link popularity will continue to be an essential factor in successful search engine marketing initiatives for the foreseeable future. Links are a helpful tool for search engines trying to wade through billions of documents and find one that are relevant to their users.
