Social bookmarking?

Alex asked:


I have written an article that I want to submit to some social bookmarking websites. What I want is the link ranking–I have not put the article in my site, although it is about the same subject.

I go into my site like it says, then click my bookmark tab and it fills in the information for me. I enter in my tags. Do I paste the article in the text area, or do I put the article in my website and let it link?
What I need to know is if I should put the article in my web page, or paste my article into the text box when submitting to the book marker page.
