Does anyone know and have any experience, what is the Google's "opinion" on posting on social bookmarking sites like these? Is it harmful or helpful? I know, it's very good to use sites like digg.com, but these .info domains are not exactly the same thing...

    Those sites would give you VERY LITTLE benefit at best. And could flag your site for a spammy backlink portfolio at worst. Not worth your time IMO. Alternatively, you should check out Social ADR. You can submit to a bunch of user accounts on higher quality social sites.

      In Social Adr, with free package each submission costs 10 submissions--I send 10 links to my accounts and then I get one of my link sent. It doesn't make any sense, does it? Nor does the paid option, as the sites are all free, and there are various automation softwares available to make the task easier.

        Disagree strongly. What free automation softwares???

        You are probably referring to BMD (Bookmarking Demon)....

        BMD is one of the biggest scams in the MMO niche. Sure, it's a one time payment and you can submit to as many sites as you want. But then they charge you an arm and a leg for CAPTCHA solving fees. Not only do you have to pay money to your third party captcha service. BMD ALSO takes a healthy cut from your captcha solving usage.

        The amount of money I spent on bookmarking submissions was higher on BMD than it is with Social ADR.

        Furthermore, Social ADR is fueled by REAL human beings, many of which have real accounts. I got one of my sites tweeted by an account with 17,000 twitter followers. It cost me a handful of Social ADR credits. And I can purchase over 6000 credits for a relatively reasonable price on Social ADR.

        Yeah, the FREE option is more work. But that's the same with everything in Internet Marketing. Everything either costs you time or money.

        If you have more time than money, then the free option is the way to go. If you have more money, then spending a budgeted amount can save you a lot of hassle.

    I'm a huge believer in a lower number of high-quality links for SEO than vice versa. Personally, I wouldn't touch those spammy social sites with a ten foot pole.
