To the question w/in the title - I personally don't spend a lot of time in Social BM sites. Most of my clients have conventional businesses and the average user on Digg, SU, Redditt - whatever, are usually 20 something people that really don't have a lot of interests in business. They are interested in politics (Digg especially), electronic gadgets, computers, and funny videos.

What is your take on it? I'll probably get blasted here, and by the way, I'm not saying there's any business ppl on these Social BM sites, I'm just saying the majority are is what I described in the leading paragraph.

I'd agree with you to be honest. I'm really not sure who actually uses these things anyway. From an SEO standpoint, they're not very good links anyhow.

I looked into Digg once, and discovered that phrases like "how to" get the most searches, and aside from technology and geek stuff, which is the most common, other popular themes in Digg were stuff like travel and leisure.

With so many SEOs all around the world submitting their own content to SB sites, they're of little use to anyone.

social bookmarking alone won't do the trick but it help and social bookmarking sites are limited too...

Social Bookmarking helps to get your webpage indexed in the Google, and if you are focusing on long phrase keywords or local keywords then it is possible to get the results via Social Bookmarking as well.

I agree with you but also spend time on article and directories submissions

Social bookmarking sites like Digg, SU, Reddit, Diigo are good for fast index web page and do all off page activities for traffic and ranking.

A site like Stumbleupon can be useful, because it is designed around the ability to "stumble" the links of others at random then others can vote on your links. I believe the stumbling is based off of sites they "think" you like based upon items you have bookmarked previously. If there was one I would pick, it may be this one.

Hi,
Seo didn't stand only for social bookmarking.We didn't have to consume our all time in social bookmarking.Forum posting and article submission also plays a very important role in seo.

its fine to spend some time on SB sites bcoz it helps too...though you shouldnt spend lots of time on it instead use it in other methods...
