Whether or not you really understand the basics of social bookmarking it is probably fair to say that you've heard of it. At least, if you've been around the Internet or affiliate marketing 'scene'. You may not yet understand the full importance of social bookmarking but the sheer number of people doing it and talking about it should lead you to understand one thing: it matters.

Internet and affiliate marketing are driven by traffic. The more traffic you get the more likely you will be to make the sales that will ultimately line your pockets. Sales are the driving force for all marketers and if you are in the business of doing business online you are a marketer. It doesn't matter what product you have to offer if no one finds it, no one knows about it. Social bookmarking is a way to drive that thirsty audience to your water well. The trick is in finding the person that is thirsty for the water you have to offer and social bookmarking will help you find a targeted audience that is interested in your product.
