With all the current Social Media Optimization Hype you might miss out on one social media site, that might really matter for your future SERP Rankings. Does your website feature a “Add to Google Bookmarks” button? Google Bookmarks is of course nothing else but Big-G’s clone of del.icio.us With the other current hype in mind, which is of course personalized search, having as much visitors as possible telling Google that your website is worthy of bookmarking should be obvious. Setting up a link is easy:

Add to Google Bookmarks
http://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark?op=edit&title=Onlinenerd24&bkmk=http://www.onlinenerd24.de&labels=nerdfun,nerdblog,%20blog%20&annotation=News%20aus%20der%20shell%20f%C3%BCr%20alle%20Onlinenerds

Format a link to http://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark and add the following urlencoded parameters:

op=add

title=Title of your page

bkmk=URL to bookmark

labels=Tags to label your bookmark

annotation=Annotation to the bookmark

After clicking this link, the user either has to log in to his Google Account or is immediatly prompted with a form, where he can review the data and finally add the bookmark. I haven’t figured out, if there is a way to diretly add the bookmark, without this intermediate form. This would be nice.

I use this feature on some of my pages, especially on pages that require a membership. Members, who signed up to my services and probably even pay for this seem to love the ability to get “easier” access to the websites by adding it to their bookmarks. I think people tend to see it as a nice service, when you offer this simple feature.
