A Marketer's Guide to Social Bookmarking and Tagging

You can now share bookmarks with your networks. Sadly, most of these links are nofollowed, but by having our pages on these sites, you expose them to more people who might blog about them or otherwise link to them. You probably won't get quite the traffic of social networking sites like Digg, but they are still worthwhile. These sites are used by traditional media, so using them can really pay off in that regard.

The Social News Sites

Why should you care about Digg? On average, Digg gets you 129 links with over 10,000 visitors in 1 hour and gives you great branding. Let's say you pay $10 per links, that $1,290 a link per month, but social media is free. He explained that its great branding, because he was in the Wall Street Journal and he doesn't even read it, simply because he is good at Digg.

Link bait is way faster and cheaper than traditional link building. And if you've done some shady linking, link bait can provide link camouflage.
