Short answer: don't treat regular social-bookmarking as a primary SEO tactic for an e-commerce site. The thread shows the split view — asked the question, rightly flagged low-quality bookmark networks, while and noted traffic gains and warned of low ROI. Google’s own guidance and public comments from Googlers make the risk clear: bookmarks used as mass link-farming are ignored or treated as link spam, and large-scale automated link creation can be nullified or penalized. (searchenginejournal.com)

Practical approach: use bookmarking sites only as distribution channels, not as a link-building shortcut. Pick platforms where people actually shop or discover products (Pinterest is built for discovery and shopping), create high-quality, product-focused pins (Rich/Product Pins), and treat bookmarks as a referral/campaign source to test — not as a way to “buy” rankings. When you run campaigns, tag every link with UTM parameters and measure in GA4 so you can tell which bookmarks (if any) actually convert. Avoid automation, duplicate submissions, or low-DA bookmark farms; also follow Google’s link-tagging guidance for paid/UGC links. (business.pinterest.com)

Simple experiment you can apply immediately: pick 2–3 high-margin SKUs, craft native product pins/posts for one relevant community (Pinterest or a niche forum), add UTMs, and run a 4–8 week test. Track: sessions, add-to-cart rate, conversion rate, average order value and cost per acquisition. If bookmarks bring measurable sales/ROAS, scale gradually and keep it manual and contextual; if not, reallocate time/budget to product feeds, Google Merchant Center and paid discovery channels that are designed for shopping. (google.com)

Bottom line: bookmarking can drive referral traffic in the right places, but for e-commerce it’s a distribution tactic and testing tool — not a repeatable SEO link strategy.

Don't think so. Social bookmarking websites now a days avalable are having low visibility and low Domain authority. Google will consider this activity as a unnatural link building. Instead you can try to gain natural links. Try some alternate content marketing techniques.

I think it will not get more traffic and not valuable. If you bookmark regulerly is not good option i think. High quality book marking sites gives you some traffic generation to your product.
