Do you think social bookmarking sites like the major ones online drive valuable traffic to websites?

Yeah!

But that traffic "Might" not be sticky unless you are offering some great value for free!

You know the first impression rule! Right?

  Actually it is easy to get traffic via social bookmarking but the people that come over to your site are not really interested in signing up for some freebie or sales letter.
  
  They are interestesd in some content... information . That might be pure gold to them.
  
  They will stay around for a long enough time if and only if they feel like there is a virtual goldmine at your website in some form. Maybe some free widget or free software or free content even. something that is totally unique to your site.
  
  Something that thye are looking for.
  
  With that said, I would still advocate the use of social bookmarking. You don't hit a homerun necessarily everytime.
  
  Thanks

  Hi,
  
  ok thanks for your reply, but on these forums & other forums i hvae been reading on social book marking seems liek a great way of free advertising & when i logged onto these sites i found its difficult to make that traffic divert to your site.
  
  so i think im struggling with it.
  
  Thanks

  There's a learning curve with that as well. But once you learn how to do it well, you will surely like it. Especially since you can readily outsource or easily automate the entire process.
  
  Thanks
