I haven’t found a significant difference using it on several of my sites… The only time it helps (it seems) is when I bookmark stuff myself
Even on high-traffic sites (relatively speaking), very few visitors click the social bookmarking links.I’m a member of a blogger community and we did a digg group for example to help each other out.
Usually it is you who submit your article first to these bookmarking services.
The group members can then read, comment, etc your submissions, and if it is valuable for them, they will likely to give it another digg/prop/etc than people who don’t know you.It is a win-win situation, because you digg other’s stories, and they digg yours – social bookmarking can only be played for its best potential with big network of people in your friends list. Of course spamming is not tolerated, you cannot shout to others to digg your one word article, but it definitely works, I got quality traffic from digg or propeller for example, stumbleupon is not that good for me, maybe because I don’t have many friends there yet.
I wonder that CAP is a great community, why we don’t do a similar community like this one I’m member of and help each other out?
Hi spika
I’d definitely be interested in taking part in that sort of community, it sounds like a great idea!
I guess that it wouldn’t be necessary to actually have the social links on the sites, because the digging is done by the community in the background? Or, in your experience, has it been advantageous to have the links up there on your site as well as utilizing the community you have built up to do the digging?
