When somebody bookmarks your site, is that considered to be a backlink?

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

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.
