Understanding The Reddit Bookmarking Site

The Reddit bookmarking site is very popular and ranks well for the services it offers.

Like any other bookmarking sites, Reddit also has its own distinct advantages and disadvantages.

Let's first talk about its advantages.

1.) It is known as one of the best bookmarking sites.

People tend to use the newest and the best services online. If you look online you will find that Reddit ranks very high as a quality bookmarking site

2.) Very simple to use.

If you are familiar with widget, buttons and bookmarklets, those are tools that make bookmarking easy. Some sites will ask you to log into the bookmarking site prior to bookmarking a page, however with the tools Reddit has you only need enter in the description - it remembers that you were logged in.

3.) It has security measures against spamming.

There are words that should be typed before you can bookmark a site. This prevents spamming programs bookmarking numerous sites all at once. This is very useful as it means that sites still have to be bookmarked by humans thus, this should maintain the quality of the sites being bookmarked

Some of its disadvantages:

1.) The web layout is not competitive.

In this world, there is a saying that simplicity is the best. In some aspects it lies true, but in terms of branding, i strongly disagree.

In branding, it is very important to focus your attention on logo's, product offers, service offers etc.

In the website business industry, we are talking about showing competitive looking sites because it shows the brand image and the companies capabilities.

A site like Google is very simple however since they have built up a brand on simplicity this works, however it may not work for all sites

Still it would be better to play safe and invest in websites appearance.

2.) Choices of words.

If you are a reddit user, I am sure you have noticed that whenever you type the security measure code it always say "YOUR WORD STINKS"?

For me, there would be no problem if they want users to type the security code twice, however as it stands it appears as if you have typed in the wrong keywords!

In the end, advantages and usage always weigh more than those disadvantages. I would still recommend that you use reddit because it drives numerous free traffic whenever you bookmark a site.
