Until recently, bookmarking had been considered just another cool way of storing your favorite articles or websites at place that would make them accessible online.

This way you could share news and information with others and have keep it handy whenever you would feel the need to look at it.

However, bookmarking has not only a fun side to it, it also has a very distinctive profit power, because whenever you bookmark a website to social sites like digg.com or propeller.com, you are nor only storing the link to that site and sharing it with others, you are also creating what is called a one way link to that website.

So, what is the benefit of that one way link?

Well, that link will benefit the site you bookmarked in two ways:

First, social websites usually carry a high Google Page Rank and therefore they have a lot of traffic, so it is likely that the website you bookmarked will suck traffic from that social bookmark almost instantly.

Secondly, given the high Page Rank of many social websites, the one way link you create by bookmarking the site will boost its Page Rank thus helping that particular website achieve better placements within the search engines.

If you manage to get your website on first page of Google for a search of interest to you, you will simply get a truckload of free visitors and therefore you will make a lot of money with completely free traffic (depending of course on other factors like search volume, quality of your website, etc.).

However, when it comes to one way link building size does matters, but not the size of the link, but the size of your bookmarking efforts.

Bookmarking to 2 or 3 social websites sites will help, but what will really skyrocket your traffic and your Page Rank (in order to get even more traffic) will be bookmarking your website to hundreds of social websites.

I know that only the thought of doing this can be scary, because adding100-150 bookmarks manually could take as many as 3 hours of your precious time just to bookmark one page.

However, you cannot skip this task because you will be simply missing out on a lot of profits that you can achieve for free with long and lasting effects on your business.
