Top 10 Social Bookmarking Sites You Should Join

A powerful catalyst for viral marketing, social bookmarking websites are an excellent way to disseminate ideas and attract attention, traffic and links. These social bookmarking sites which will give you a platform to showcase your content and website to a large audience.

This article offers a list of top 10 social bookmarking websites you can use to get information, web traffic and of course, money :)

Digg

The largest and most popular social news, videos and images website on the internet. It covers all topics including politics, entertainment, world and business, science, gaming, technology and general news. News, Videos and Images are separated to different sections.

Mixx

Mixx

Newsvine

A website consisting of community-driven news stories and opinions. It is designed to enable collaborative discovery and discussion of the news and not for vehicle for self-promotion.

Conclusion

There are a great deal of social news sites on the internet, sometimes too many. Most of them are dormant and are no longer active, largely because they were poorly marketed and hence, never had an active community of users in the first place. The list above is not meant to be comprehensive. It includes some social bookmarking websites out there but they are only the ones which I think has potential for providing you with relevant/fresh news while giving exposure to your ideas, brand or website.

    A very complete introduction of the bookmarking site, excellent!

    Most of my opinions are same with you, currently feel Digg and StumbleUpon are really traffic booster.

    Mixx? Mmm I’m still trying its possibility :D

    Nice post. I really like SU because of the ability to generate a really quick and large flood of traffic.

    Plus I have been wanting to play with their newer ad packages, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. And obviously gotta’ love Delicious and Digg. But a place I use to hang a lot was Newsvine… Yeah you don’t want to do any “self promos” there. lol.

    I use Digg, Stumbled Upon and Delicious religiously, but haven’t dugg to deeply into the others. Has anyone found much success in the other sites listed? I’ve used Reddit and Yahoo Buzz, but only a few times and not with much success.

    The top 10 list of social bookmarking sites you should join is missing facebook, but that is understandable, given the gated and eletric fenced community that facebook is.

    StumbleUpon traffic is something else. I swear by it, especially if you need a big spike of loads of traffic in a short amount of time.

    I agree with Jacques, Stumbled Upon has at times given me amazing traffic. If you get the right article and have a little luck, your traffic can spike significantly.

    I put more time and effort into Digg, but don’t really get the traffic, just the Digg numbers. My highest Digged post has just 117 Diggs. I’d estimate that normally only half or a third of the Diggers visit the site. Many just Digg to get Diggs.

    Delicious is just an amazing and fun tool. I have gotten traffic that is comparable to Digg. My biggest success has over 780 tags.

    When it comes to bringing in traffic I have had the best response from Digg.

    The social media sites should be joined because the social media websites drive more traffic to your websites and increase the page rank of your site.

      No, they aren’t.

      We should call them “Social Media” or “Social Networking” sites.

    Have you tried socialposter.com? It has 160 social bookmarking sites. It helps me to get good traffic too. But posting on all 160 sites for one post can take the whole.

    It’s very heard to decided very best social bookmarking website. If you go to webs you will find lots of articles and blog having saying 20 best Social bookmarking website or 15 etc… That’s where people like me get confuse and heard to decide where to go. The list that you have posted, no doubt have top rank social bookmarking websites. But if I say select very very best social bookmarking website from the list that you have posted. Then I select DIGG, REDDIT and TWITER.
