Aside from Digg what social site brings you the traffic?

    If you get traffic from social sites you most probably get that traffic from Digg judging by its huge popularity.

    But what would you call second best and why?

    Fark, Squidoo, Stumbleupon, Reddit, etc.?

    And what SEO did you do to your sites before submitting them to the social sites? :confused:

    If you have an extra ordinary site, you can put your link in wikipedia. But remember, if your site not among the best, your link will be removed.

    well, these sites are a SEO medium as well; free inlinks ;)
    Technorati profile, Squidoo, StumbleUpon, Ziki.com etc. etc.
    they all give you a link to your site(s) without the nofollow tag.

    Digg sends about 5000 visitors if you hit the homepage.

    Fark sends about 3000 visitors if you hit the homepage.

    Stumble Upon sends about 200 to 1000 visitors every single day.

    Netscape sends about 1000 visitors if you hit the homepage.

    Hi,

    I have submitted both blogs and regular sites to

    del.icio.us
    stumbleupon.com
    blinklist.com
    ma.gnolia.com
    simpy.com
    furl.net

    and a few others

    Although I have gained links from all of them, I only see traffic from de.licio.us and stumbleupon

    HTH
