'Meaningful bookmarks submission' : best ways to gain maximum SEO benefits for your website or blog  

Important points to consider while submitting your bookmark links to any of the social-bookmarking sites

• First of all, choose only the good and quality bookmarking sites. Its easy to find out whether the bookmarking site meets the standard quality criteria if you look at- the content part, the design, the PR value, types of ads displayed,tag cloud, quality of the bookmarking features and tools used on the site.
• Stay out if the bookmarking site is looking creepy, Spam-filled, full of pop up ads and banners.
• Don't go bookmarking blindly ! Before submitting your bookmarks to any bookmarking site, check the 'tag cloud' and find out if the bookmarking site has the 'tags' relevant to the contents of your blog/site. Submitting your blog/website pages links to irrelevant sites can do harm to the reputation of your blog site even if the bookmarking site is of great PR value.
• While submitting a bookmark make sure you use the right tags, provide natural description of the link, and make a unique title of your link (don't use your home page or post title of the page).
• Instead of submitting bookmarks to 1000's or 5000's low quality bookmarking sites, submitting your bookmarks to only 100 social bookmarking sites is much much BETTER (and, by the way, don't use CAPITALS-it looks Spammy!)

How to get your bookmarks approved by any social-bookmarking site?

• Well, to be honest, there exist no technical tricks that will get your bookmarks instantly approved. But, yes,  there are many sane ways and going by them no bookmark should  get disapproved or marked as spam. Just bookmark your blog post links in the correct way as most of the social bookmarking sites now-a-days approve each of the bookmarked links manually and they don't approve any of the bookmarks automatically.
• Whenever you bookmark your blog url on any social bookmarking sites there are 3 most important parts you must pay attention: #1-Title of the bookmark to be submitted #2- Description of the story (what this bookmark is all about) to be submitted #3- appropriate tagging.
• Bookmark title-must be unique,different,and creative.
• Bookmark description- Must be at least 2-3 sentence long.No keyword should be repeated more than 2-3 times. Using keyword phrases is more beneficial. Provide unique description for a bookmark when submitting the same bookmark link to the different social-bookmarking sites. You can bookmark the same blog url link on as many  bookmarking sites as you wish, provided that you use a different title and description every time, otherwise your blog url will be marked as spam or duplicate content, which is the worst case to happen for any blog!

I have tried my best to make this listing as worth ful/relevant as possible. 

But, the nature of various social bookmarking sites keeps changing and evolving over the period of time, and so, every social bookmarking sites list needs to be reviewed constantly. 

You may bookmark this page as this bookmarking sites list is reviewed on a regular basis. And i would really appreciate any opinion, peace of advice, comments, remarks for the betterment of this list of top social bookmarking sites!
