So in the past I have talked about how important social bookmarking can be to your blog for traffic and also getting ranked on the search engines fast.
Well today I want to list my top 5 social websites that I like on the net. Granted these are not all the biggest but I love them because they work and don’t have a ton of spam in them which devalues each submission!
Here we go….
Digg.com – Although your not supposed to submit your own site the Digg people do it anyhow. However if you can get your readers to submit your posts to Digg regularly your well on your way to massive traffic and visitors that will signup!
Blurpalicious.com – My buddy owns this one and at PR4 its a great way to get power from the search engines! Try it out and see your site get indexed in about 1 hr from this social site!
Propeller – This is one of my favorites because its PR7 and I have gotten sites to pr5 and even a pr6 using this one site alone! Its all about how you and when you hit this one to get page rank benefits!
StumbleUpon – When it comes to getting traffic from a younger generation community you really cannot get any better then StumbleUpon!
YouTube – Although this is a video site its one of the easiest ways to get traffic from people because everyone loves videos! Try it out and see for yourself!
Here is a small video to seal the deal on this post! Be sure to comment!

I’m always afraid that I’m going to mess up the math on your spam protector! LOL Basic math … I must be sleep deprived. LOL
I do use social bookmarking but not as often as I should. I have had good results with mister-wong.com and I like them because I get indexed quickly, I get the backlinks, and they are easy to submit to. I was locked out of Digg for submitting my own stuff (oooops!) and even though I get a nice spike from Stumble I don’t really see any subscribers from it (that I can detect anyway) … so I’ll try your other suggestions and let you all know how it goes. Thansk for sharing! *SmiLes* Suzanne
I try to bookmark all of my stuff and at first it would get me alot of traffic but now I’m only seeing slight bursts of traffic. I use OnlyWire and SocialMarker to bookmark my sites. I guess covers a pretty big list. I had never heard of Blurpalicious…I gotta check that out.
I think social bookmark still give good benefit for me because I get traffic from it. When I post usually I submitted it to that social bookmarks
Thanks for sharing
I love Social Bookmarking.. I have over 700 friends on digg and about 50 on Stumble..
I get easily on the 1st page of Digg and Stumble but I make sure that I’m submitting others stuff too..
(So that Digg and Stumble don’t ban my acc) – Shannon.. Add the sociable plugin on your blog.. it really helps !
Suzanne: Traffic from Stumble and digg are NOT going to subscribe to your blog.. But you can expect 1% of the total visitors to leave comments and Stumble your article again
What? You can get articles to the front page and you havent done so with InfectedByBugs yet? Whats wrong with you
Just Kidding! That is good to know though

Well, I know about social bookmarking, a very interesting site. Your blog is so good, describes the ranking and other advantages of Social bookmarking. Very nice..
I love these small lists! I have heard of propeller and blurpalicious but never really had thought about giving them a chance, but now that you reccomend them, I guess it cant hurt to try it out right?
Thanks Shannon for your advice.
Thank you for an interesting blog as well as a very clean design. I never heard of burpalicious before. Do you bookmark all your posts or just periodically? It seems good to be cautious .

This has to be one of the most useful piece of information that i have read, Others should be reading it.
The other day I saw a list of 160 social bookmarking websites. Just one thought of using all of them made me dizzy.
I can’t seem to get the hang of Digg and StumbleUpon. Everytime, I try to submit some new article to Digg, it asks me to check for duplicates and I don’t get the option to submit it at all.
StumbleUpon doesn’t load properly for me. The site seems to be so slow. I don’t know whether this is my problem alone or is someone else experiencing it too.
Nice list though. I’ll check out Blurpalicious and Propeller.
Hi,
I am using all the other social bookmarking sites except Blurpalicious.com. Now I have registered with your buddy to get more exposure for my blog. Thanks for sharing!!!
Strangely enough I bookmarked my sites with SocialMarker to all the bookmark sites mentioned above but never got the wave of traffic I hoped would generated more leads and more sales. Could anyone explain me what I did wrong? I am clueless.

I havent really used bookmarking enough need to get to that. Thanks for the real good info here, which ? am taking in and will use because I need to earn more cash on line
I learn many things for social sites uses with reasons. I hope these sites are more used for targeted traffics than for back links. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for sharing your experience with these social sites. I am surprised that our sites can achieve higher ranks in SE if these get link with these sites.
you got to try reddit.com .. It may just be me but I get way more referrals from them than digg, stumble, etc.
I seem to be getting lots of visits from stumbleupon and so would say this one is best for mining traffic and it is quality, focus on that site!
These are definitely good picks on the social networking swing.. I would like to add the fact that SocialMarker offers an automated social bookmarking service that has a button you can press for only do-follow social bookmarking sites! Sweetest way I can think of to pick up alot of quality backlinks.. I recommend that people change the title slightly for each bookmark.. looks less spammy! thx mr. bugs!
I think that from my logs I see that social traffic is lousy at converting but does send a lot of people to my website so not absolutely convinced yet…
Thinks for the post. Ihad never heard of Blurpalicious.com. I wil give it a try.
One thing is that many social bookmarking sites are nofollow now which means link “juice” isn’t passed. (not all though there are still some good ones left that lack the nofollow tag.) Also, for me the goal is not traffic directly from social bookmarking sites, but the search engine impact from those inbound links. (Social traffic can come in gobs, but it doesn’t convert well.)
hey you forget to mention delicious.com and reddit.com
But to get the full advantage in Social Bookmark are we have to submit really2 great news and owning many friends there.
I have accounts on Digg and Stumbleupon. Thanx a lot for the suggestion regarding utube. Though I use it very often, I havn’t set an account on it. Wud definitely give it a try.
delicious and reddit are good too and mybloglog is must for every blogger.
i dont accept with this list, check Blurpalicious.com. it is not working. according to traffic and easyness the ranking are
1.digg
2.stumbleupon
3.reddit
4.mixx
5.propeller
i am having huge list of friends in my gtalk for sharing, most of them will share diggs, stumble, reddits…….
Hello all of you I have banned at digg.com but I don’t know why they banned me any one know how can I reactive my account.
I agree that this lists is great social bookmark. but Blurpalicious.com. is not working. delicious and reddit is also my favorite.
We have the same picks dude.. I always used this social bookmarking..
great list of social book mark site. really useful
Thank you very much. This great lists really useful
social bookmarking / social networking, it is supposed to be a community thing. So take part in the game. For example when you digg other sites than yours on a regular basis Digg.com will appreciate that and won’t ban your site so quickly.
Social bookmarking is one of the best way for get back link but this not enough for backlink.
@Free Web Templates, Social bookmarking also give you a lot of traffic.
