    Hey Dp. I am trying to put together a list of social bookmarking sites. I see tons of people here trying to buy links and SEO their sites. What I don't see enough of is people talking about social bookmarking sites. I don't know why so many people don't take advantage of them. Not only can you SEO any website with just a few tags. But traffic is also a side effect. Anyways..Heres a small list of social sites. Please everyone who has a link to a site post in this thread.

    Because links from social bookmarking sites are crap.
    Do you expect Google to care about free links obtained from places where everyone can submit just any site?
    How much is a Digg dofollow link worth? It's almost useless. Otherwise SEO would be too easy, don't you think?

    Come back and tell me that when you can get a keyword with massive competition to #1 and #5 in google just with social bookmarking tags..Then I might believe what you said.

    social bookmarking can help in other ways.... for link building it does very little... but if you use those sites to promote then you can get referral traffic!

    no
    Yes
    Good enough to get you on first page over night! Specially if your SEO is good, I create a TV Script and google was all over it once I hit social bookmarking sites, maybe you just have bad luck with them :)

    Ok. Digg is awesome I know. But claiming that everyone who participates in the link sales section is a fool is probably one of the dumbest things I've ever heard someone say when it comes to SEO.

    Digg is amazing= IF YOU HAVE AMAZING CONTENT! If you have a client in a weird niche, like heavy machinery equipment, or a physical therapy clinic, then using social bookmarking as your only link building strategy will not get you anywhere. It won't generate traffic and the only link you'll get is the one link you will create when you originally submit your story. Believe me I know from experience. Anyone who claims otherwise clearly does not.

    Yeah Zexy I hear you, but maybe next time you should be REALLY sarcastic.. 'cause I know you know the deal with link building I've seen your posts across this forum many times already and I'm a fairly new (although pretty consistent) DP member.

    I was REALLY sarcastic :p
    Read the entire thread and you will see.

    Anyway, back on topic, etmedia was promoting some sites in the first post.

    That's true. It's a webmasters forum after all.
    That's not true. We have thousands of threads here about social bookmarking sites.
    Most of the people here spam social bookmarking sites EVERY day :D
    It's not that great for SEO, but it could bring some traffic if you submit a cool story.
    Thanks for the small list. Here are the top DoFollow social bookmarking sites:

    Digg
    Technorati
    Slashdot
    Propeller


    So for SEO these should be among the best. But as I said, don't expect wonders ;)
