A quick reality check for and everyone who replied: many classic bookmarking names were useful years ago, but the landscape changes. Several services people mentioned in-thread no longer operate the way they once did — StumbleUpon closed and migrated users to Mix in 2018, and Delicious was effectively shuttered after acquisitions. Treat decade‑old site lists as historical, not a current playbook. TechRadar: StumbleUpon has stumbled its last — Delicious (Wikipedia). (techradar.com)

There is no single “best” bookmarking site today. Pick channels by audience and content format: where does your target spend time, and what formats do they consume (short video, long reads, Q&A, professional posts)? Start with one or two places, build genuine presence there, and measure. This audience-first framework is standard practice for modern social distribution. SocialBee: social media management guidance. (socialbee.com)

Practical checklist to get quality traffic (not just raw clicks):

  • Participate before promoting: add value, follow community rules.
  • Test small: 2–4 variations of headline/format, see what sticks.
  • Measure precisely: tag links with UTM parameters and read them in GA4 so you can attribute conversions, pages/session and time on page.
  • Optimize for conversion, not just visits — that’s the definition of “quality” traffic. See Parse.ly on how referral mix concentrates and why measurement matters, and Google’s guide to campaign (UTM) parameters. Parse.ly: referral insights — . (parse.ly)

Bottom line: many replies (for example , , ) are correct that bookmarking and social spikes can work — they still do for launches and viral posts. For sustained, high‑quality traffic, focus on audience fit, craft content they want to save/share, measure with UTMs, and iterate based on conversion and retention metrics rather than raw click counts.

i gotta agree with you smokefire. other than those site, you couldn't get anymore high quality traffic.. unless you're looking for backlinks, you can use directory of directories or just plain directory+your niche to get some results

Member Avatar for theemerchant

stumbleupon is also the best

facebook is better

Member Avatar for Doctor Inferno

I don't think Facebook is much of a social bookmarking site.


Stumbleupon can shoot your site's traffic real high up.

Member Avatar for mackone

It depends. If you site is new on the block, I'd look at using StumbleUpon to promote it as you can get good traffic from it quite easily. On the other hand there are sites like Digg which can get you both traffic and visibility.

Member Avatar for joelchrist

Digg and stumble upon are the most popular social book marking sites which can help you to get good traffic.

StumbleUpon and Squidoo are good for bookmarking for me. Really had good traffic coming to your site.

Member Avatar for Mark121

There are many sites which is useful to increase site traffic, for me stumbleupon, digg, delicious are useful to generate traffic for my site.

Member Avatar for qlipboard

Create great content, then submit it to the major social bookmarking and link sharing services. Digg's traffic effect is well known, as is Slashdot's, but even the smaller services like Reddit, Furl, Shadows and StumbleUpon can send several thousand visitors.

Digg seems to be my best. Articles seem to be very visible within hours. Squidoo should work but I just haven't utilized the ins and outs of it yet. I have multiple lenses and I still don't know what a "lens" is!

One thing that can drive hits is making your page searchable on Facebook by adding OpenGraph code to your website. (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph) That gives you access to Facebook's bajillion users with minimal effort on your part.

Member Avatar for sandy121

For me, Digg is the best and most active one to get traffic.

Member Avatar for CatRambo

Do you have a particular strategy you use with Digg? Just tag your own pages, or does it go beyond that?

Today the most powerful traffic sources are Facebook, Twitter and search engines of cource.

  1. Facebook: Only if you have millions of fans on your page.
  2. Google+ : Participate in communities and make people love you. Trust brings huge traffic.
  3. Reddit : In some cases, I would put Reddit on the top. You just need to go through the community guidelines throughly. You get every bit of traffic your content deserves.
  4. Pinterest
  5. Twitter: I have never had much success with it but it is a great source of traffic.
  6. Stumble Upon
  7. Digg
