    Top 20 social bookmarking should help you with the traffic in the short run and Directory submission to good reputed sites like DMoz and all should help you in the long run.

    According to me social bookmarking helps to index quickly.Directory submission takes some time to generate traffic and backlinks.

    Both are important, social bookmarking will help to indexation, directories are important mostly to generate traffic.

    Cheers!

    Social bookmarking is the most important instead Directory submission. Google gives more important to the social bookmarking websites.

    Both the practices has equal weightage. But it depends on websites on which you are submitting your link. Most important is PR of the website. If you submit your link on good PR websites(both bookmarking and directory sites), you will get better results.
    On thing more, as we know that in directory submission link will not be placed immediately but after approval from editor, whereas bookmarks are placed at the same time when submitted, so some people think directories are not important. But this is not the case. Both things are significant on their respective parts. The only thing is quality of the website on which it is submitted.

    I do agree with this post. But there is a ratio of 40-60 between directory and bookmarking

    Both. But a bunch of PR 0 directories won't replace a few big name social bookmarks. On the other hand a few high rank and high profile directories might.
    You should do both either way. Unfortunately google is now onto this game and is discounting that quite a bit.

    Hi, ethan

    In my own experiences, social bookmarking would be more powerful than directory since it would not only generate direct traffics but also build quality backlinks for our sites if we could use our keywords tactically.

    Have a nice day,

    Both of them are important in link building though I think that in social bookmarking sites, you can get more benefits such as getting good amount of traffic and backlinks where as in directory, you can get traffic but not as much as what you get from social bookmarking sites.

    Social book marking gives us instant traffic, and directory submission take some time for indexing our link then good for increasing traffic as well as count back link.

    Very well said mate. I really appreciate with your words but there is only one problem with it and that is approval. There is very less chance to get approved in social bookmarking site. Though it provides more benefit as it is social network which integrate with other site and update their database if the content is good.

    Social bookmarking gives you traffic as well as PR. Better if they are dofollow.

    Bookmarking is the best option in terms of getting backlinks as well as traffic to the website.

    Go to Onlywire. They have around 37 SB sites that you can auto-submit to once you have registered with them all. There is even a Wordpress plugin for this.
