    Yes, social bookmarking is useful in building links and bringing traffic to your website. Do check whether the links are dofollow or nofollow. Many social bookmarking sites have made outgoing links to nofollow.

    Social Bookmarking is not the most effective backlinking method in the world on its own but in combination can be effective.

    For example if you are creating a link wheel it can be handy for building more presense for pages where you backlinks sit.

    A little guide:

    Use no more than 10 social bookmarking sites.

    Dont expect much

    use as a boost, nothing more.

    Social bookmarking is really helpful when it comes to the SEO process. They are the one that you can use to index your site and the contents of your site inner pages. They can also derive you traffic but I can't tell if they can do somehow in ranking up your site in SERP. PR rank can be achieve in this kind of technique.

    You get the most benefits when you use dofollow social bookmark sites, and submit the most interesting pages of your sites, that you think can be useful for the web surfers.

    Social bookmarking gets you a few hits and helps you get indexed, but it's nothing very special when you do it for yourself over and over. You now it's working when other people start bookmarking your site without you though!

    Social bookmarking is great for traffic and SEO but it's a cumulative effort... you'll need to do more than just that.

    Social bookmarking helps you get traffic back to your site from the high trafficked, high PR websites on the internet. People might follow links back to your site and start bookmarking on their own. It is good for getting your site indexed and keeping the index updated regularly also.

    If they are do-follow, your sites will improve their rankings, may increase your PR, and will get some traffic regardless of if they are do-follow or no-follow.

    If they are no-follow, you will only get some traffic from them and nothing else.

    In my opinion do it because its quick and easy, but in terms of benefit you will see a low return, but your time investment is small...so why not.
