Hi there,

I am tired of Google on this subject. I can find hundreds of social bookmarking sites, but on most occasions more than 80% are dead and 10% out of remainder 20% are useless :-(

BEFORE YOU POST ANY LIST or share any social bookmarking site, PLEASE READ BELOW CRITERIA CAREFULLY!

  1. The backlink must be visible on internet, you can submit hundreds of links on DIGG, but none appears anywhere. Many sites will just save your backlink in their DB. FARK won't take links either.
  2. The backlink must be Do Follow unless the PageRank is above 5. For eg. Reddit
  3. Google PageRank must be 1 at least. PR5 or more shall be highly appreciated.
  4. The site should be happy to take links from mainstream sites. For Eg. bizsugar, it's highly moderated and won't accept links :-(
  5. Make sure site is in working state.
  6. Please do not post links.. just share social sites..

If you share a Social bookmarking site in this thread without researching above criteria, your post shall be treated as SPAM!

We are in this situation coz most PLIGG sites cannot sustain with floods of URL submissions. It's not practical for a small site owner to moderate hundreds of URL submissions every hr / day. You put up a Pligg and links spammers will take your site down with porn / adult / warez and all such stuff.

Feel Free to ask any questions you have.

The original checklist from is exactly the right mindset: visible link, editorial control, and a working site are the real filters. Two important updates that change how the checklist is applied today: the public 1–10 PageRank toolbar value was removed in 2016, so chasing PR scores (PR1, PR5, PR8) is no longer practical. (searchengineland.com)

Use modern, third‑party proxies and link signals instead of toolbar PR. Treat Moz Domain Authority or Ahrefs Domain Rating as rough screening metrics (they are useful for prioritizing targets but are not Google ranking factors). Verify the link attribute on the page — sites may mark links with rel="nofollow", rel="ugc" or rel="sponsored", and Google now treats those attributes as hints rather than absolute blocks. Combine these checks rather than trusting a single metric. (moz.rankious.com)

Quick pre-submission checklist you can use immediately:

  • Submit a single test URL and open the listing page to confirm the anchor tag is visible in the HTML (Inspect Element) and not injected only after JavaScript runs or hidden behind a login.
  • Confirm the anchor has no rel="nofollow/ugc/sponsored" if you need link credit; if it does, treat the submission as referral/traffic only.
  • Check for noindex/canonical rules or robots blocks on the page that would prevent indexing. Use Google’s URL inspection/Search Console for indexing clues when you control the property; otherwise use site: searches and watch for real referrals. (developers.google.com)
  • Look at traffic/activity (recent front-page posts, comments) and DA/DR to avoid transient, spammy sites. Track results with a single UTM-tagged link so you can measure referrals before scaling.

As suggested, authority matters — but don’t demand a deprecated PR number. As advised, pick a small set of well-moderated bookmarking communities, test them with the checklist above, and scale only the ones that actually deliver visible backlinks or referral traffic.

social book marking only high page rank like 8,9,10 is better .

You can find new social bookmarking sites list even daily but only few sites are worth to be used for bookmarking. So, concentrate on those sites alone.
