      NO, it's not a waste of time. You can get more backlinks from social bookmarking services. More backlinks = more ranking. Also if you have bookmarked a great or interesting content you can get more traffic.

    People use social bookmarks because they are a good (easy) source of links - and if you submit to lots of them this will help you build backlinks from a diverse range of different URLs/IP addresses to your site, which is good for your SERP position. they do help a bit with your off page SEO.

    Each one individually is not of high value, but as part of a more comprehensive backlinking strategy they are effective. Also, with new sites I have found that doing a blast of social bookmarks is a good way to get it indexed fast. Is your site indexed yet?

    You probably will not get much traffic directly from the bookmarks, but they will count as backlinks to your site, which will help your rank in Google/Yahoo/Bing improve.

    Hi,
    I think off page seo is very beneficial if we will use high pr links for social bookmarking or any other off page activity..... & to make big traffic on website then we should do SMO social media optimization via twitter & facebook.

      1) need clarification why people submit to social bookmark sites and when should they submit and when they should not submit
      They submit to social bookmark sites because they want traffic from users of these bookmarking sites. This is also vote a back link to their site, this may not good as anchor link, but it is still useful.

      2) pros and cons of social bookmarking
      Pros: easy, everyone can do
      It will bring traffic if your link have a lot of people votes and comments.
      Cons : it takes some time and boring works. Even you buy a software, but these bookmarking sites often update the code and template, so the software need to update to match with new code.

      3) what can be bookmarked do you bookmark a new website and can i submit articles, videos, audios, powerpoint files, etccc
      You can submit the links to bookmark it . It can be articles, video, audios... but this need a link.

      4) can i get traffic even though my website is at the bottom of the barrell and not to be found any where on 1st 100 pages
      If your website is useful, interesting and attract the reader, they will visit your site.
      Make the good title is a trick. You go to digg.com, see what raise up and learn the rules .

      3) does it really help with offpage seo

    Hello,

    I am a newbie over here and I came to know after going through this source that Social bookmarking is the best way to keep all the records of the resources that you have already visited so then you can have an idea rather then completely going for it in the deep.
    It can generate the traffic for you if you have relevant source with high PR.So it helps you to maintain and index the resources.
