Following is the list of clean and active Social Bookmarking Sites which I’ve been using regularly. I’ve been doing Social bookmarking for long time and found that a list of clean social bookmarking sites are needed which is based on the personal experience. Most of the social bookmarking list which you will find from Google search result are a collection rather than suggestions. Whereas the list below is a suggestion based on my own experience.
I do social bookmarking for fun, for backlinks for traffic and for promotion.
Just to let you know that don’t get excited with Social bookmarking sites for backlinks. Most of these sites are nofollow sites. However having backlinks from these sites are good for top ranking and also they bring traffic if social bookmarking is done properly.
By default all sites mentioned below are nofollow until and unless specified.
If you know if any other good social bookmarking sites then don’t hesitate to drop the link in the comment.
Social bookmarking Sites
Stumbleupon
Stumbleupon is a web discovery portal. I like StumbleUpon a lot. I prefer Stubmleupon over digg as it gets a lot of traffic for popular bookmarks. However you need to be regular user with quality submissions to get good traffic. Just bookmarking will not help.
Digg
Digg is busted. Digg is rigged and completely useless. You will never get any of your bookmarks to be in top as all of the top bookmarks are rigged and manually manipulated. You will never get any non American story in the top either as it is all for Americans by American. so if you dream to get a story on front page of digg then forget about it. Just submit your story and forget about traffic. A link from digg is better than no link.
Take my advice and don’t try to waste your precious time in making a story in the top on digg.
Delicious
Delicious is another failed Yahoo investment which will be dumped sooner or later. Yahoo is notorious for buying out new concepts and burying it to wipe out any competitions and also in favour of it’s own products. As far as social bookmarking is concerned it is good to have links from delicious but again don’t waste your time in it. Submit with proper tags and forget.
Reddit has exploited digg’s disastrous makeover a lot and at one point it seemed that digg will disappear giving way for reddit. Reddit is good for F word stories and uncontrolled swearing on any topics. It is crooks den ;) Good to have links and if your stories are weird then you might get traffic too.
Newsmarking
This is a good bookmarking site with clean links and moderated. This is a DoFollow site, baclkinks are dofollow.

DoFollow Social bookmarking site which is clean and allows you to add metatags for the stories and images. Good stories are pushed to front page immediately.
