It's definitely helpful not as much as some people might think.

will it even bring traffic? i mean do a lot of people go to sites like Digg or Technorati an read what's there?

As for me Social bookmarking is quite essential for any SEO campaign in my opinion.
But again I think it depends on your business, but it's not just about promoting yourself and posting endless tweets etc. - you need to build relationships and target the right people - get involved, help people out, comment on how you enjoyed something they posted, if you genuinely did, and if it's relevant to your market.

Social marketing is a vital part of any good SEO campaign.

Whether you are targeting direct traffic, driving up rankings, or simply using it to get your backlinks crawled and indexed.

Social Bookmarking is a major part of SEO, using bookamrks we get traffic and also good rank position in Google. I am not thinking on that as u told here.

SB will bring traffic to your site.. I don't know if it will help you rank your site.

My answer is YES that social bookmarking worth the effort for driving traffic to your site.

social bookmarking is really effective for seo,i ask how many bookmarking sites required for a particular link.

I'd like to add to this thread with my own thoughts of social bookmarking.

I do think social bookmarking still works for SEO. Especially if the bookmarks are high-quality content bookmarks, they perform very well.

There are three tools I use or used in the past for social bookmarking, there's usually a paid AND free alternative and the free alternative is usually a good starting point for beginner IMers.

1. Social Marker - this is a good tool to use as a starting point. The famous Social Marker submits your bookmarks to sites of your choice, and you have to have an account with all of them and connect them with Social Marker in order to submit your bookmarks. Fortunately, you can outsource the tedious and time-consuming account creation at Fiverr and focus on the social bookmarking creation and submission part (heck, you can even outsource those. )

2. Social Monkee - This is another good tool. This is one of the tools that have a free and paid version, free is all you need at the beginning, but if you do have the money, I can highly recommend the paid version, as well. Social Monkee submits your bookmarks to sites they own, so you can avoid your bookmarks appearing on the same sites, because the Social Monkee sites are not the same as with Social Marker.

3. Social Adr - Probably the best tool out of all I mention in my reply, Social Adr rocks. It works as a credit system, you submit other people's bookmarks and earn credits for doing so, then you take the credits and spend them to let other people ad your bookmarks to their accounts, walls, etc.

Hope this helps a little.

Yes , social bookmarking is quite effective. Links from high PR social bookmarking sites can boost your page rank, rankings and some times (direct) traffic. I have witnessed its advantage hundreds of times for my sites and client's sites. Links from less powerful SB sites act as supporting link and they help to increase the number of different linking domains which are necessary for rankings and PR.

it derives the traffic is the bookmarking sites are the likes of digg and stumbleupon. any way you are getting a backlink which counts the most.
