• Since actual people do the tag based classification of the web sites and not algorithmic software, the understanding of the resource content is likely to be much better and appropriate.
• Often web spiders note and index web page much later than a person does. Also if the page does not conform to the algorithm, it is likely to be completely left out, though it may be very pertinent to include as a tag.
• Ranking of internet resources by the number of bookmarks on a web page is often a more relevant metric for the visitor than the number of external links leading to it, which is most likely how a web spider is going to rank it.
• Consolidation of bookmarks present on a number of computers, their organization and sharing among contacts is better when using social bookmarking services.

The social bookmarking system enables a person to categorise web resources and organising information in a more efficient manner than could be done earlier. Here the internet user saves links to web pages that they want to share or simply to remember. It may seem amateurish, but it enables a person to connect with like minded people looking for the same or similar information or resources, thereby creating a social group. The bookmarks are in the public domain but these can be saved privately by an individual or shared between select people, which again makes it private.

The importance of social bookmarking comes from a number of inherent features. For instance, instead of using browser folders, providers of these services use the more informal tags (or a combination) and allows gathering of information about how many users have bookmarked a particular tag and also to view these bookmarks. Tag relationships actually lead to creation of clusters of tags and bookmarks, allowing ease of use. Sharing, tagging or saving of new bookmarks helps the millions of users who access these to get very specific information and this is helped by the web feeds provided by most of the bookmarking services. In fact even more user friendly functions are now available, such as emailing of bookmarks, also their ratings and comments on them. Web annotation and import / export of bookmarks are also possible.

Many people use social bookmarking to get traffic to their websites. This is done by posting links to your site or blog from the social networking websites by using tags or keywords to categorise the bookmark. With the increasing popularity of social bookmarking services, the opportunities and benefits that can be derived from it also increases. And as the bookmarking is done by physical people, as opposed to software, the relevance of the matter also increases substantially.
