    That's not optimizing a site for the search engines (and your users). That's marketing and promotion at work.

    Real SEO is a totally different animal. I strongly suggest you read the Search Engine Optimization FAQ, my All You Need to Know About SEO thread (link is in my signature) and Chris Beasley's SEO Guide if you really want to know your SEO from your SEM.

    Social bookmarking - It's a method for web users to store, organize, find, and manage bookmarks of their favorite web pages on the Internet at the particular website.

    It's really a nice technique to promote your websites and even, people can know more quicker about a website, even before searching on SEs and can also add it as their bookmarks also. If your bookmarked page is really a great information, then it will definitely increase your web popularity.

    social bookmarking is simply bookmarking. Just like what dan said
    . but if you link your URL in every bookmark it can (may) increase traffic

    I guess some social bookmarking sites a helpful for SERP depending on its quality but the main purpose of social bookmarking and online grouping is to generate traffic for site.

    General SEO involves onpage and off page optimisation

    Onpage factors include ideally using your main keyword in your domain and title, meta keyword and content tags and sprinkling your main keywords evenly within your sites content.

    Offpage factors is about building links to your site, and some of the things involved are:

    The page rank of the site linking to you
    The page title of the site linking to you
    The anchor text used
    The number and type of links linking to you
    The number of outbound links linking to you

    Just to name a few things involved, social book marking can bring traffic and links to your site by like minded people using your tags to read your post and drive them to your website and is an effective marketing ploy

    I go with Dan's view.

    If some one thinking SEO as a career then he/she must distinguish the difference between SEO, SEM, Promotion work and Internet Marketing.

    Also doing SB purely for the gain of SERP must be avoided. If you have an interesting subject to share then one should go for it. The ultimate benefit is you may gain friends and thats the popularity.

    My 2c. :)

    social bookmarking is used to target/attract traffic and for deep linking purposes

    You must eliminate social bookmarking sites which have "nofollow". Because they are useless for SEO.

    I see social bookmarking more as a traffic generating practice rather than link building.

    I honestly don't think u(or anyone) will get something specatacular by spamming social bookmarking sites. Leave them as they are. It is unfortunate that so many people in DP are involved in stumble exchange without even checking that they have been banned there and are not getting any traffic from it :)

    Of course you can do social bookmarking at personal level. If it is good, believe me, it will self propagate.

    I have compiled a really good list of almost all social bookmarking sites, http://social.nbridges.com/ which u may find interesting.

    Social Bookmarking can help you gain popularity, but it might not result in higher rankings.

    The reason behind it is as follows :-

    a) Most of the social networking site use rel="nofollow". This is ignored by search engines.
    b) hundreds of threads get crawled on daily basis, thus making it difficult for search engines to crawl your link.
    c) A link from adult dating and other sites will have no effect on your rankings. A small link from niche website can do wonders.
