    del.icio.us is social bookmarking website, so all the links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, reviews, recipes and access them from any computer on the web. so, if your website in others bookmark list then it will be give you a one vote from del.icio.us.

    You believe wrong.
    del.icio.us links are nofollow, pretty much useless in term of SEO.
    Social bookmarking may be useful for generating some traffic.

    Hi guys, like another social bookmarking service, the value is in the traffic — as mentioned above.

    Any SEO advantages are peripheral / tangential at best.

    The thing to keep in mind is the type of people using the likes of Delicious, and their needs.

    I find that people using Delicious tend to convert better as the "trust rank" for friends' bookmarks seems to be high.

    Also, there's value in adding your Delicious booksmarks to your FeedBurner feed, which can offer more material benefits to your existing subscribers, if not offering an SEO value...

    del.icio.us use nofollow tag. So links from there are useless in terms of SEO

    Exactly, targeting del.icio.us or any other social bookmarking/networking site is part of SMM.
