Bookmarking is not considered as backlinks. If someone bookmarks anything on your website, that is not a backlink for your website.

Yes, bookmarks are not backlinks but it is helpful to your website and business, as it gives traffic, and traffic is also an element of SEO...... so somewhere it is helping in SEO too.

Are you talking about adding a site to your "favorites" or a social bookmark like Digg?

If favorites, no. However, if a user adds to favorites and visits your site often, there is a good chance that they told friends about it, possibly increasing your Alexa rating (which isn't a big factor) and they may like your article/site, tweet about it or add it to social bookmarking sites which in turn will give you nofollow backlinks in the future.

If you're referring to social bookmarks, it is a backlink, though doesn't pass link juice onto you. You may see a a lot of visitors all at once and it die down to zero or a steady amount of visitors from (popular) bookmarking sites.

If someone is bookmarking your website on some authoritative website, then it will pass on a lot of benefits however it will not be considered as a backlink.
