Does anyone still use bookmarks in their browser? I save pages frequently and tend to go back to them often rather than searching on Google again. It’s just easier to have everything saved and organized. How about you? Do you regularly use your bookmarks and favorites, or do they just sit there untouched?

No, I don't regularly use bookmarks but only for websites I know I wouldn't want to start looking for when I need it. Also, I use bookmark on demand too. I don't know the importance it have for a website owner but one have requested I bookmark his site on my browser.
 
I can't remember the last time I bookmarked a page. The funny part is that I have more than 30 bookmarked pages in my chrome browser that I have not even gone back to open once. I even forget that I had bookmarked such pages.

I have a lot of bookmarks and favorites on my phone. I generally do it if there's an article or a website that I don't want to forget about. Other times, I might throw the links into my notes app or google docs.

Bookmarking a site can actually help a site's owner in terms of SEO. It's something that Google may use in their ranking systems.


How Chrome Bookmarks affects SEO?​

While Google hasn’t explicitly confirmed Chrome Bookmarks as a direct ranking factor, there are several ways in which they might indirectly influence SEO:

  • Clickstream Data: Chrome Bookmarks contribute to Google’s vast pool of clickstream data, which analyzes users’ browsing behavior. This data can potentially help Google understand which websites users find valuable and return to frequently.
  • User Engagement Signals: Bookmarking a page can be viewed as a positive user engagement signal, indicating that the content is useful or interesting enough to warrant revisiting. Google’s algorithms consider user engagement signals like bounce rate and time on site when evaluating a website’s quality and relevance.
  • Social Proof: While not as direct as social media shares, a high number of bookmarks could be seen as a form of social proof, suggesting that a webpage is worth saving and sharing.

Yes! I keep a "Bookmarks Menu" on my browser toolbar. I've used Firefox for a long time, and recently tried to sync with Brave to use it instead. Unfortunately, I've gotten used to Firefox having a separater for different bookmark categories, and I cannot stand not having it. I haven't figured out if different browsers can use separaters, but it's some kind of possible OCD or autistic irritant I have.

If that's the case, I'm bookmarking VPL right now immediately and I think we all should do so to help one of our own.

If you rarely make use of the bookmarks, then there is no point in trying to do more. I don't bookmark sites, but I leave tabs of sites that I visit always on.
 
I do.. Pretty much all the time.
Well, I do use them even....in my work laptop. I don't really keep track of things in notepad and such.... So .....

Adding them to bookmarks helps with SEO of the website is what I've learnt now. If that's the case, I will now keep doing it for sites I'm loyal to.
