    Do social bookmarking still work for modern SEO?

    Do social bookmarking still work for modern SEO?

    I remember most SEO articles 5 years ago repeated the same thing over and over when
    discussing about SEO link building methods, social bookmarking was on the list! Every time!

    Even today, some bloggers and "SEO gurus" still mention social bookmarking as a valid link building method. But does is still work?

    Do people still use websites like StumbleUpon or Digg? I personally use Inbound from time to time and I know a lot of people in the SEO niche get traffic from inbound.org so yeah, can still be a traffic source I guess.
    If you still use social bookmarking as a valid link building strategy, what are your top five bookmarking websites?

    I'll be honest here, I don't know the answer. It appears to me that a lot of emphasis was placed on the important of social bookmarking in the past and I would think now that this method doesn't carry as much as weight as before.

    This is just an assumption though.

    I use Digg by the way, it is part of my checklist for after publishing new content. I share my link there just after publishing new content. I don't know if this has a big effect but my content usually ranks well and that is on my list of things to do, so I certainly wouldn't cross that off my list.

    Well after the Google Penguin update "spamming" bookmark websites with links has become a bad practice link building technique from Google's perspective, because it's not natural and the actual owner can do its own "promotion" and because you can do a lot of them which equals low quality.

    So yeah, as far as I know, after the Pinguin update, old Social bookmarking techniques don't work that well and if done excessively can even get you panelized.

    Yes it can still work but only if done properly overtime. The thing is only really with the high authority bookmarking sites because they have a lot of authority so you don't want your site to miss out on any links from them. It's even speculated that Google uses them as a ranking factor obat herbal kolesterol tinggi.indeed to get baclink .... it's not easy to get it we have to permit or work together on the blog...but you can post link here obat herbal kanker payudara

    I am not well versed with bookmarking although I had a thorough study on the subject from the discussions that I had read in this site. I guess bookmarking still has a beneficial effect on the site. It is just not as effective as before when the bookmark that you leave on a directory could give you results quick. Even the backlinks now have to wait for some time before you see the effect.
