Stumbleupon, Digg And Delicious: Are They Still Worth Using

For link building and traffic, does it still make sense to submit links to these sites?

 

Absolutely yes.. Social bookmark is important parts beside SEO to build a website..

 

It makes sense to submit to them all. The more linkbacks and word spreading the better

 

Social bookmarks on Stumbleupon works till today and will work for the years to come!

 

If you are promoting your website then it best to submit your website in these sites. These sites drives lots of traffic to your site if you used them properly.

 

I would suggest everyone to submit links to all the social networking website which you have mentioned and my vote will goes to Reddit.

 

i am using these all sites

 

Indeed, the design of the web page itself portrays the usage and the effectiveness of the site. The website seems to be revamped and has been furnished in a better way to ease the navigation and with multiple features.

Nonetheless, StumbleUpon, Digg remains to give a better exposure rather than the Delicious, I suppose.

 

Stumble and Delicious are worth using, but Digg made some changes and I don't use it any longer

 

I'm using all these social bookmarking sites, but I see that Stumbleupon works best.

 

I think I've got 0 traffic from Stumbleupon these days.. still remember the golden days where I got 15,000 hits in 1 day because of the stumbles

 

I think they all good sites to drive traffic to your site. It all depends on what work for you best, the results you are getting out of each site, and which of those sites, you feel more comfortable working with.

 

I used to love Digg - but it has changed and I don't use it anymore.
Facebook and Twitter are a must!

 

StumbleUpon , the worlds largest discovery search engine and Delicious the traditional bookmarking site i think they are still worth. After the domination of Reddit, Digg is not worth more.

My top prefer for traffic is StumbleUpon, Reddit.

 

Yes, Social bookmarks on Stumbleupon works till today and will work in future. You can get huge amount of traffic to your site from Stumbleupon .

 

Stumbleupon: You can get traffic from them but visitors don't usually stay long(unless it's interesting or compelling content) and are not in the buying mood. Once they get bored they'll hit that Stumble button and be off to the next site.
Digg: I never got a lot of traffic from them to begin with. After they changed their entire interface(and a lot of visitors from changing over owners throughout the years) I lost interest myself. I just use it for a backlink every now and then. People don't go on Digg to buy either. They want to see the newest stories that the news may not be reporting.
Delicious: I use them for a backlink if I remember they still exist.

I think you can get the visitors you want from Facebook and Twitter. Twitter can be hard to find someone in a buying mood, but CPA or Adsense may work well. Facebook can narrow down your campaigns to specific demographics or interests too, making your job a lot easier.

 

Hello, It makes sense to submit to them all. The more linkbacks and word spreading the better.

 

There is no blanket answer - you have to be strategic. As other posters have hinted, it's all about what helps you achieve your goals: not about getting traffic.

The traffic needs to do something - sign up, buy something, etc or it's useless - or even harmful!

For example, last Friday I got a 323 visitor spike from Reddit after I had a chat with someone on there and dropped a link: but not a single one of those 323 visitors signed up or bought anything.

In fact, they just succeeded in damaging my visitor stats in Google's eyes - by looking at only 1.2 pages on average and, 95% of them, bouncing - leaving after looking at one page.

So I say: test out the platforms you mention for yourself. Reddit, StumbleUpon, Twitter are known for having the potential to send masses of poorly targeted traffic which bounces.

So the question needs to include: how *targeted* is the traffic that you generate via these platforms?

Testing for yourself is the answer and keeping an eye on your Google Analytics.

Reddit works best for news/blog websites. You just have to get it on the right subreddit and i can get over 500 visitors from posting 1 link to my website on Reddit.

 

Any of those websites can drive a good traffic to a website but the most important is the quality of the content and informations provided.
you will not only get traffic but also subscriptions.
