The impact of social bookmarking is being felt across the world of the Internet. It has now become more visible and has taken on a the name of Web 2. 0. This refers to the fact that people are taking control of how they exchange information, search for information, and exchange information through social bookmarking. The manipulation of data and information is no longer being controlled through a structured language.
Web 2.0 gives a person a clear overview of how social bookmarking impacts every aspect of communication and information exchange on the Internet. People pulling information from a search engine director will often bookmark items of interest in one of the public folders on their social network.
Many people are attaching links and RSS feeds to their websites and blogs so that they can alert their readers to new information on a regular basis through their social networking site. The bookmarks may be spread across all of the social networking sites via the people accessing them.
The social media sites recognized early on that once marketing efforts moved to this medium there would need to be some type of regulation of tagging to keep spamming and hacking to a minimum. The sites are continually upgrading and improving their security effort to block spam advertising and messages from business who attempt to bookmark themselves using RSS feeds and continuous self-searches.
A website owner considering using social networking as a marketing tool will need to create a steady and consistent flow of quality information that a wide audience will be interested in reading. It is important to note that if a business attempts spam advertising, or has poor and uninformative content, when a person blocks their URL, they are effectively blocked from every device that that customer has. This can be very expensive for a business.
Unlike search engine directories, there is no standard language protocol for directory search with social bookmarking. A person may write a quality article about roll-top desks that will be bookmarked as roll-tops. If they are marketing their desk website, they will not be found when a person does a search for desks. The search parameters are established by the users who create a keyword by tagging or bookmarking a topic or subject several times.
As time goes on, a standard search language does develop through the common use of terms when tagging. The bookmarks are organized by the “tag” that is associated to that article or RSS. It may not lead to the website if the correct language is not used in the title of the article or RSS feed.
Social network optimization tools are different than search engine optimization tools. It is important to understand the distinctions and work within the framework and structure, of each. Using both methods effectively will allow a person to effectively use social bookmarking to increase their volume of traffic and their customer base. The potential of social bookmarking is clearly evident. The search engines will slowly evolve and catch up to the social networking language structure. Until that time, it is important to learn the languages of both to enhance growth in both areas.
