Hello,

After reading many posts from this forum about submitting to social bookmarking sites. I got some knowledge about whether to submit to any specific social bookmarking site or not. My concept may be wrong so I do need your advice on this.

For example:
1. mixx.com/
2. digg.com/

They are good because they let you to submit your blog directly. After submiting my new article to these sites, I can see my links are indexed on Google just a few days.

The other types of social bookmarking sites that make you to download or install, add favorites such as:
1. bloglines.com/
2. squidoo.com/

Many people recommend them but I do not see them to be useful when I submit my blogging articles. Or, I may not have a thourough knowledge of how to use them.

Any idea is appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

A concise, updated take that builds on the thread

Early observations in this topic — for example seeing links indexed quickly after bookmarking — are still valid in specific cases (when a high‑traffic or frequently‑crawled page links to new content). That behavior is opportunistic, not a reliable publishing workflow. The supported, repeatable way to surface new pages to Google is sitemaps and the Search Console URL‑inspection tools (and platform RSS/pings where appropriate). (developers.google.com)

The SEO role of social/bookmarking links has changed. Google now treats link attributes such as rel="nofollow", rel="ugc" and rel="sponsored" as hints rather than absolute directives, so many community links are explicitly signalled and should not be relied on for durable link equity. That makes bookmarks most useful for discovery and referral traffic rather than as core link-building assets. This clarifies points raised by and about nofollow and short‑term traffic. (developers.google.com)

Google has repeatedly explained that social signals (likes, shares, follower counts) are not a direct ranking input; social activity helps indirectly by driving visibility, clicks, and the chance of earning editorial backlinks. In short: bookmarking can spark visits and discovery, but long‑term ranking gains come from content that earns editorial links and satisfies users. That echoes and on focusing effort where it matters. (searchengineland.com)

Platform churn matters. Many of the long lists posted in this thread are dated: for example, Squidoo was folded into HubPages in 2014, and StumbleUpon shut down and migrated accounts to Mix in 2018. Relying on static site lists is brittle; prioritize active, relevant communities and outreach. (searchenginejournal.com)

Practical checklist (keep it short)

  • Publish canonical, indexable content and include it in a sitemap.
  • Use Search Console (URL Inspection / sitemap) to monitor discovery and request re‑crawl when needed.
  • Share to 1–2 highly relevant communities (not mass directory submission) and track referral traffic.
  • Do outreach for editorial links; treat bookmarking as amplification, not the backlink strategy.

This balances the real, short‑term benefits members reported with the modern, evidence‑based view of how search engines treat social/bookmarking links.

Member Avatar for mrandrei

Social bookmarking is really a good way to boost site traffic. But it's kinda short-term. At the end of the day, you still need to focus on building organic, quality links for your site to gain good ranking in google.

I think that you are a bit of confused...smo is about the getting traffic (as a mainstream) and a less about getting backlink...


As you ask about squidoo you can create a mirror of your site (lens)
in the squido and connect to other real person with the help of squidoo page...

so in short you will get real traffic and with the smo...

I think squidoo is getting more popular now and when you submit your lens there, it gets pushed back because others are also submitting their lenses.

Although social bookmarking has a lot of advantages to offer the different Internet users who subscribe to such a tool, it is not without its share of disadvantages as well.

One draw back with this tag-based system is that there are no standards set for the keywords, controlled terms and vocabulary used.

This can create a problem, especially since the tag-based system relies on people, and not on any program created in the Internet.
