Websites To Bookmark Links And Earn Money Online

When reading a good book, you may have to momentarily put it down for some reason. On returning to the page where you were last on, a simple bookmark would suffice for such a purpose. This principle of bookmarking is transferred from physical books to the realm of the internet, where hyperlinks are the actual (electronic) bookmarks with a relevant title and description.

As you may already know, bookmarking is a huge part of what social networking is all about. With the likes of Twitter, Digg, Facebook, Myspace and other such social networking and micro-blogging sites, the number of links per second is absolutely mind boggling. Information is proven to be effectively passed on at rapid speeds and in large quantities through online communities. It would be inevitable that website entrepreneurs would exploit this aspect of human behavior to make money and offer users to do the same. With that being said, here are a few of such websites where you can place bookmarks (for free) and earn money online. You may find that in order to earn, you will need to have a google adsense publisher id. If you don't have one, you can sign up here.

Tips On Placing Bookmarks:

• Place a catchy headline - this will be the first thing that people will see. If it grabs their attention, they may read the description and then click, or just click because of the catchy title.
• Provide a short, clear and interesting description - a bookmark will not be complete without a description. It is an actual requirement for most if not every site that has a bookmarking feature. In a sentence or two, give a relevant and intriguing description.
• Check that your url link is correct - the link is very important, and even if you have a catchy title and excellent description, people will not be able to be taken to the page where you intend.  Avoid dead links, as it may turn people away from your links.
  
• Make sure that hyperlinks, titles and descriptions coincide - avoid social engineering schemes that is about tricking people to check out sites that they wouldn't expect to be taken to. Being genuine will build your credibility, and your earning potential will always increase.
  
• Keep posting - you may wonder how is it that you are not earning much from the bookmarks you have posted. The more you place, the more catchy and interesting they are is the greater the likelihood it is for you to earn more.
  

Warning: Avoid encouraging anyone to click on the google adsense ads on the pages where you have placed your bookmarks. Google is like a hawk in that department, and will cancel any account with many suspicious links.
