Do Pligg sites make good backlinks?

Well. At least each backlink is a backlink no matter where it comes from... But to the question if they are worth or not, I think the right answer should be that they are NOT so powerful for your website such as Forum and Article marketing or Blog Commenting. I advice you to stay away from them personally. By the way, will wait for other "warriors" to read different things about this topic!

Value of a backlink doesn't relate to the platform that your backlink website uses from. Maybe you find some valuable Pligg websites that having backlinks for them helps your ranking. But i am juts saying it according to my long time experience. Usually Pligg websites will be changed or removed after some years when the admin of those websites feel they didn't earn good money from their social bookmarking websites which are made using Pligg. Its not related to Pligg at all. Its just what i know and for making sure about what i said, you can find huge list of Pligg sites but when you click on many of those links, you find those sites broken and not available more. So please just submit your pages to quality Pligg based sites to have a permanent backlink and easily ignore low quality Pligg based sites.

No they are not that good for backlinks but they do certainly help getting your website indexed.

Thanks for the input guys, think I'm just going to go after the more reputable sites. Anyone got any recommendations?

These low quality bookmarking links are not good for money site. But mass amount of social bookmarking links will be useful for Tier 1, Tier 2 Properties. I use mass amount bookmarking links to get them indexed.

Never heard of them........ May be it's because I use all manually.

Pligg sites are among the better sites to get links from. Even better if they are higher-PR, aged domains.

Its pretty good for indexing, and also diversity of your backlinks.

In the pist penguin era i recommend using pligg submissions for anchor text diversity.
