DISADVANTAGES OF BOOKMARK

 SEO

While bookmarking can help you with your SEO and SERPs, it can also

create a lot of subsequent problems. There are multiple sites that will

use your bookmarks to create backlinks for their website, without

generating any new content. These bogus websites will simply add junk
and hope your bookmarks help them to improve their ranking.

 Tag Structure

Since Social Bookmarking is still a new concept, there isn’t a lot of

information on the same. There isn’t any formal way to regulate how

the different Social Bookmarking sites tag the different links. This gives

rise to discrepancies that might often create problems. Since its

individuals who tag these bookmarks, there’s the possibility of human

error as well. Such errors create problem in consistency and

organization.

 Collusion

Scammers are everywhere on the social media. There can be scammers

who get a large group of people to submit bookmarks and control

their votes. They can trick other users into thinking that this highly

bookmarked content is worth seeing and trick them to visit pages that

might set free a virus or force them to make a payment.
