    How do social bookmarking websites make any money? There seem to be loads of them out there but not sure why.

    I thought i'd try one anyway and see what happened: www.28g.co.uk

    I'm after any suggestions how to make some dough off it though! And can anyone tell me if its worth adding a Facebook connect function?

    I've never owned a SB website myself, but i guess they are monetized in 2 ways: Sending email offers to members and placing ads.

    With so many social bookmarking sites available today, it's often difficult for a newcomer to know which site is the best one to join. Many people become members of several social bookmarking sites so they can make comparisons and see which one they like the best.

    Basically, they just make money by the advertisers and number of visitors or members registered on their sites. Yes you can add the Facebook connect function to your blog, it will yield you quite a number of visitors to your facebook account too.

    I think first you need to concentrate on content and more and more regular posting subscribers, once it gets more than 10000-15000 UV then one shud concentrate on monetizing. I have started 2 as well. See how it goes!!!
