What is social bookmarking in SEO?
Social bookmarking is just bookmarking your site on different sites to increase the Backlinks.
As an online marketer, you should have come across these two terms on-page and off-page SEO.
Social bookmarking is one of the best ways to start your off-page Optimization.
Many of the present social media channels were once used only for bookmarking Purposes.
Since it has reached a lot of people later it became social media.
