Short answer: bookmarks by themselves usually do not move organic rankings much. Search engines put most weight on editorial, contextual links from trusted sites, and many bookmarking sites either add rel="nofollow" or have low authority. That said, bookmarking can still help with discovery and referral traffic when used selectively. To tie the thread together: is right about the importance of content, and are correct that careful bookmarking can drive visits, and 's idea of engaging in blogs/communities is a higher-value alternative for building real links.

Practical steps to try now:

  • Audit: check Analytics/server logs for referral traffic from bookmarking sites before deciding value.
  • Inspect links: confirm whether bookmarks are crawlable or rel="nofollow" and whether the pages are indexed.
  • Use bookmarking only as amplification: post one thoughtful share in a relevant community rather than mass-submitting to low-quality directories.
  • Prioritize linkable assets (how-to guides, data, unique tools) and outreach to niche sites and blogs that will link editorially.
  • Measure with UTM tags and watch engagement (time on page, conversions), not just raw link counts.

If bookmarks feel ineffective, pivot to outreach, guest posts, curated communities, and improving on-page experience. Avoid automated bookmarking networks or link-schemes; they risk penalties and waste time.

because the users of social networking sites are peurile and will click anything, links from those sites are accorded the amount of notice they deserve, an amount rapidly approaching zero

So is there anything else we can do as social bookmarking is not giving what you want ? Blogs commenting I think will be helpful.

It is difficult to say bookmarking is useful or not .Some people still think it is good to get traffics ,but others think it is not worthwhile to do again .It all just depends on whether you can do with this method well .
