    Hi!

    I share my links on social bookmarking sites like stumbleupon, redit, digg etc. But i don't get traffic from them. From stumbleupon i get some traffic, but from rest of them there is 0 traffic. also when i try to search my site's name on reddit, i don't find any result. Why is that so?

    You just need to think ”outside the box” and be creative when it comes down to using these social bookmarking sites in the best possible manner.

    Once you get used to the whole social bookmarking process and know how it works, it will become easier for you to get more and more visitors from these sites.

    just a tip, most social bookmarking users will definitely click on a link with a unique/intriguing/ title, and a well-written description

    Social bookmarking is more used for links then traffic.

    I agree, it is generally used more for linkbuilding rather than gaining traffic itself. I personally use every social site I can, but with a submitter such as sick submitter to gain links. I have found that, even though I use it for link building, I still want it to have a catchy title that includes my keyword as the title, and a good description so that it does have a possibility to work as a double agent, but I only count on the link being there rather than anyone visiting.

    social bookmarking is mainly done for backlinking not for traffic

    You must make your link attractive for clicks. Also even if you don't get traffic from them, you'll still get the backlink benefit.

    The problem is that all the sbms from that list are paid. And does anybody knows where it will be possible to get a list of free social bookmarks.

    Social bookmarking still gives traffic till today unless you are doing something wrong. Make sure you content has good information and its original. If it doesn't work for you then use other methods like forum posting and article marketing to get traffic and backlinks.
