The boom for social bookmarking traffic has just started because social bookmarking is not over yet, just look at some of the most famous social bookmarking sites like Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, del.icio.us just to name a few. These sites are booming as everyone is getting on board finding friends, sharing data, pictures and such. Your goal is to get as many legitimate bookmarks for your website as possible so start out by signing up and bookmark you website first. I wouldn't open more then 4 or five social bookmarking accounts so pick the ones with the highest "Page Rank" like;

Use these sites for social bookmarking and use Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace to create groups so you can post updates to them while adding more people to your group.
Next encourage your friends, family and associates to bookmark your sites also. This can be done by adding an "Add This" button on your website. All you do is select the button you want then just copy and paste the HTML code into your websites HTML code and it will show as one of the buttons you selected.
Why Social Bookmark in the first place?
Well
this is a method for Internet users to share, organize, search, and manage
bookmarks of web resources they found and like. This is so popular because now
you can go on any computer in the world with Internet access and log into your favourite
social bookmarking site and have access to all your bookmarks and almost all are
quick and free to sign up to.
But how can social bookmarking traffic help me?
Well not only is your personal list of bookmarks publicly available to everyone else on that social bookmarking site, members can search for websites based on topic or tags which are the same as Meta tags. What a great opportunity for us to get traffic from these sources. Basically people interested in the topics of your social bookmarks or even your profile can direct them to your site.
Social Bookmarking Spam
Everyone hates Spam including search engines and social bookmarking sites so there are few things you Do Not want to do.
Don't create multiple accounts for yourself in order to get more bookmarks especially from the same computer because your IP address is recorded and recognized by most social bookmarking sites and search engines. It very possible that you could be removed from the site or be penalized by the search engines thus dropping your page rank.
Don't cram keywords in the "tags" fields than are reasonable. I have watched people take a list of 12 keywords and cram them into that field. Some sites won't let you anyway but always try to stick to around 3-6 max.
Make sure the keywords you use are relevant to the bookmark and don't try to put the less relevant but most popular keywords in.
So now you see just how social bookmarking traffic can impact your site.
