De.licio.us is one of a suite of social bookmarking sites.  It has three main purposes:

1. an online site to store your bookmarks,
2. a place to share your bookmarks with friends, and
3. a site to check out what other people are bookmarking.

An added benefit is you can assign tags (keywords) to the bookmarks.

You can use number 3 to get traffic to your blog.  By bookmarking your posts with your targeted keywords, you can get a relevant link to your blog.  You may also get visitors to your blog who stumble across your bookmark.

Another useful feature of de.licio.us is you can find other popular blogs in your topic area.  Search de.licio.us for your topic and see what kinds of items are popular and bookmarked frequently.

Be sure to be a responsible bookmarker by not only bookmarking your site, but other sites with outstanding content.

One last thought…. to get to the de.licio.us site just type in http://de.licio.us  (no www or .com).
