Social bookmarking helps a lot in promoting your website and also generate good traffic for your website. Some good social bookmarking sites are Stumble Upon, Digg, Reddit, Tumblr and Quora.

I have never been successful generating traffic from Stumble Upon. People over at Reddit are very hard to target and vote down your SB most of the time... plus you get bad Karma

Digg, is no longer a social bookmarking site but more like a news website anymore. Tumblr is more of a Web 2.0 then an actual social bookmark. Not to sure about Quora however.

All in all, there are lots of other social bookmarks that come and fall, are filled with ads and are just a pain to submit to. Currently I am working on compiling a list of "Working" social bookmarks and will share it to this community in the coming weeks.

Cheers!

Social bookmarking is a public place where you make pages and friends. It means sharing your content on social media websites like as LinkedIn, twitter, Facebook, Digg, delicious etc is known as social bookmarking.This is the best platform where you put website link and your website crawl from search engine. when you post content at social bookmarking sites that web pages is considered as a back-link in search engine. so the back-link increase traffic and search engine rank.

I don't rely on Social Bookmarking though I use them for quick indexing because bots usually crawl them on regular basis. Only SU generate traffic other than this I simply don't find an alternative.

Major internet users are using browser bookmark tool to get it done so, they can access that bookmarks at any time.

It's a nice link and maybe some traffic may come from it. But it's not a high priority anymore, at least not the way that it used to be. It's good also for diversifying your links.

I would advise people to be consistent with this but not make them a high priority.

[letsgonow]

It benefits your site in terms of traffic as well as another source of backlinks. Definitely a must for any niche.

hoangvu

why you think it is benefit for source of backlinks ?
I don't think so, social bookmarking is only for traffic and no backlinks because they are dofollow links, right?

Social bookmarking is the basic steps of SEO starting. By using the Social Bookmarking you can generate traffic to your website by increasing the Keyword rank on search engine. But, this is useful for some time only like 2-3 months. after this time period these link are removed automatically by the websites and we loose our Reputation on search engine.

Actually, new penguin and panda updates say that Social Bookmarking isn't such a good method anymore. You may see some traffic from it, but that traffic isn't usually any good.

Forgot worrying about social bookmarks and focus on quality backlinks instead!

 

[walker.king89]

@ FPForum said right. Now, these day content is the king. more the quality content can increase more your reputation on search engine. We may need to focus on Quality of content.

Social bookmarking sites are used to increase the value of a link through back links. High quality sites are a boon and should be used instead of low PR ones. In fact a few high PR sites are better than innumerable low PR ones. Sites Diigo, Delicious, StumbleUpon, Scoop.it, Folkd are great.

I think for traffic it will work but for building backlinks social bookmarking submissions is considered as link scheme according to Google for violating quality guidelines.

 

[lisa]

The main Benefit of social bookmarking is gain a more traffic to your site when your web pages crawl on the search engine it will provide back link to your website.

Perhaps, you was wrong because social bookmark links are nofollow thus it don't help you more on increase backlinks for your websites, only drive traffic to your website if you do right way.
