Social Bookmarking - Your Own or 3rd Party Accounts

I'm going to start being more aggressive with social bookmarking. I want to promote an ecommerce site. I have supporting the ecommerce site an external blog that is associated with the ecommerce site. I also have 3 other blogs that are in no way associated with my money site. However, they provide links back to my branded blog, my ecommerce site and to a few third party sites (to give them a legit feel).

I have three questions, but am not 100% sure of what would be best practice. So, I'll list my question then what I think is the right answer.

1. Should I create the accounts under my branded ecommerce name or make them independent?
For the ecommerce site and the blog: yes, the account will be linked to my main moneysite. For the unbranded blogs: no, they should be completely independent.

2. Should I bookmark each product (150 products)?
I'm thinking yes, just make sure I spread it out. No more than a few a day.

3. Should I bookmark each blog post?
I'm thinking yes, especially since the blog is unaffiliated.

Validation or corrections are appreciated.

    Regarding number 2, I was just reading that it is recommended you spread the bookmarks across several bookmarking sites. So, let's say I have 100 products and a list of 100 sites. I should post 20 products to the first 20 sites. Then, the next 20 products to the next 20 sites and so on.

    Anyone have thoughts about number 1?

    I'm working on some new things. So, nothing to promote just yet.

    Since no one has touched this, the only sites I use for social bookmarking are Digg, Google Plus, Twitter, Facebook and StumbleUpon. However I do not see much SEO benefit from this I do believe that it helps for pinging new pages as well as getting the ball rolling on these sites, StumbleUpon is nice for the traffic though if you do it right.

    Delicious and things like that may or may not have SEO benefit, I only will touch them if I have a lot of spare time which is never.
