Ok - here we go again... I have a list of 15 DoFollow social bookmarking sites - and I have bookmarked my sites to these SBM sites. It's been a few months since I've bookmarked my websites on the 15 SBM's...I did a - Link:www.domain.com - and I still can't see my backlinks from these SBM sites. Are sites like backflip.com and Spurl.com for real? Are we just wasting our time bookmarking sites that bots don't follow??? I think so. I can't see the backlinks in Yahoo nor google.com/webmasters Anyone have a similar experience?
if you want to see some backlinks, then you need to do lot more than just 15 SB submissions. keep building links and you will start seeing some backlinks over time.
15 is too little. Also, you may have missed on particular SB site that is great for indexing sites. Also, SBM works great for BING traffic. Source: http://www.highrevenue.com/seo/social-bookmarking-and-bing-quick-bump-up
Some show up, others don't. It also depends on the SE you are using. I see my Jumptags backlinks on Yahoo, but not Google. However, Google does show my Digg, Mixx, and a few others.
I submitted my sites also to around 25 bookmark sites. Over time I saw backlinks in Yahoo and Google from around 10 bookmark sites. I think it takes time and bookmarking sites it's not wasting time.
Plenty of people are having success with social bookmarking, but they are bookmarking to HUNDREDS of sites. Yahoo follows no follow, so don't rule those out. Not all of your bookmarking links will get counted, but many will, the WHEN is very unpredictable. I recommend buying Bookmarking Demon and adding many many additional bookmarking sites into it.

A little tip, google shows like only 1% of the amount of backlinks your REALLY have. Use a tool like SEO elite to get all the info. Socialbookmarking still helps to get some linkjuice and for getting your site indexed instantly.
I can definitely see the backlinks from various social bookmarking sites. That's not the problem. The problem is that Google is aware of the fact anyone could easily obtain links from SB sites and don't give them a big importance. If you're trying to rank high for some competitive keywords you will need quality backlinks from established sites, not SB spammy links
Exactly... Your competitors own SEO elite and Market Samurai and are looking at your site to make a blueprint for how many links they need to beat you! So I recommend getting as many bookmark links as you can, and to use automation to do it. Bookmarking Demon is the best automated program I have used. It is just automating what you were already going to do by hand. It is a great time saver. Diane
Add more sites to your list, rotate the headlines and descriptions, bookmark the inner pages of your site and watch results.
