Del.icio.us becomes Worthless.

    As one of the best Social book marking website

    del.icio.us made all links on website nofollow,

    so i can not get any back links not even traffic through those links.

    Now i think It becomes worthless.

    its nofollow but i realized that it is still helpful for traffic and for spiders to visit. just make sure that you use the correct keywords

    social networking site is helpful for getting traffic so that you can consider it if you want more traffic for you site. it is true that nofollow link not help to get backlinks.

    Here's why del.icio.us is not worthless for me, with or without a nofollow: I use del.icio.us as my "master" social bookmarking site. I have all my pages listed there, and I keep it current with new ones.

    Then when I submit to a new social bookmarking site, more often than not the new site has a full "import" feature that imports del.icio.us bookmarks. That can save you a ton of time.

    Yes, del.icio.us has a no follow attribute,. Meaning to say all the link won't pass on link juice and it wont help to increase your PR at all.

    But no follow attribute has no connection in traffic,. You can still have tons of traffic even if it uses a no follow attribute

    You could use more social bookmarking sites beside del.icio.us.

    Here's a list of social bookmarking sites I have links on. Most are dofollow:

    • squidoo.com
    • del.icio.us
    • spurl.net
    • linkagogo.com
    • netvouz.com
    • simpy.com
    • bibsonomy.org
    • myweb/yahoo
    • mister-wong.com
    • blinklist.com
    • mystuff.ask.com (no www in front)
    • mylinkvault.com
    • diigo.com
    • oyax.com
    • myvmarks.com
    • ez4u.net
    • info4it.com
    • connotea.org
    • backflip.com
    • bookmarktracker.com
    • reddit.com
    • startaid.com
    • 2collab.com
    • Digg.com
    • Ma.gnolia.com
    • gather.com
    • hubpages.com
    • mypip.com
    • gaddiposh.com

    I'm getting a lot of backlinks from some, as well as some increased traffic. Most of these SB sites (not all) allow a one-shot, full import of my "master" link list at del.icio.us.

    Also, I have an addthis.com multi-bookmarking button on my web pages. It is picking up about 30 bookmarkings per week from surfers to my pages.

    Who cares about it being nofollow? Backlinks are backlinks. Even if they dont pass page rank, they still help to associate your site with the link keyword.

    I do not get much traffic from delicious. But does get a lot from digg and stumbleupon. I don't like traffic from stumbleupon the visit time is in seconds. So far, I like digg!

    This is my opinion as well. Besides, nofollow links do not stop traffic from reaching my site.

    I get about 610 visitors a month from Stumbleupon. But, as someone stated above, they stay only briefly.

    The best of the rest traffic-wise for me are reddit and mister-wong.

    I get deep links from a lot of those in my list above.

    I don't use any social bookmarking sites. Most of the social bookmarking sites use no follow tag. And the traffic I get from these sites is like automated traffic.

    I see no increase in my earning from such traffic.

    1) It's easy to find plenty of dofollow SB sites. I'm submitted to a bunch of them.
    2) I'm getting traffic that is not automated. For example, traffic from one SB site is averaging more than 6 minutes on my website.
    3) Without social bookmarking, you are missing out on getting lots of prized deep links. These deep links from directories would cost you quite a bit of money. From good SB sites (like Squidoo) you get them free.

    del.icio.us is good for traffic (not that good actually but useful in some niches).
    The backlinks are pretty useless for SEO though. It was always like that, not just now.
