How can we increase the popularity of our websites? Simply put, there are two options: links and content. While I am sure most bloggers and web publishers are working hard to put out new content all the time. However, if no promotional strategies are implemented, all those efforts are wasted in vain. This article is a summary of the best 10 social bookmarking sites. I’ve, indeed, seen the effectiveness of using these websites for my blog on a consistent basis.
We will go over each one of them now.
1. Delicious
Delicious
Delicious is a social bookmarking service that allows users to tag, save, manage and share web pages from a centralized source. With emphasis on the power of the community, Delicious greatly improves how people discover, remember and share on the Internet.
2. StumbleUpon
StumbleUpon
StumbleUpon helps you discover and share great websites. As you click 
Stumble!, the site starts to deliver high-quality pages matched to your personal preferences. These pages have been explicitly recommended by your friends or one of 8 million+ other websurfers with interests similar to you. Rating these sites you like (
) automatically shares them with like-minded people – and helps you discover great sites your friends recommend.
3. Digg
Digg
Digg is a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web. From the biggest online destinations to the most obscure blog, Digg surfaces the best stuff as voted on by our users.
4. Reddit
Reddit is a source for what’s new and popular on the web. Users provide all of the content and decide, through voting, what’s good (
) and what’s junk (
).
Links that receive community approval bubble up towards #1, so the front page is constantly in motion and filled with fresh, interesting links.
5. Yahoo! Buzz
Yahoo Buzz
The buzz can be about anything — from breaking stories on major news to viral videos on personal blogs. Instead of editors, its users submit the stories and “buzz up” the best ones.
6. Slashdot
Slashdot
Slashdot features user-submitted and editor-evaluated current affairs news with a “nerdy” slant. Slashdot has stumbled forward with the simple mission to provide ‘News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters’. Each story on the site has an Internet forum-style comments section attached.
7. Newsvine
Newsvine
Newsvine is founded with a simple mission: “To build a perfectly different, perfectly efficient way to read, write, and interact with the news.” At Newsvine, you can read stories from established media organizations like the Associated Press and ESPN as well as individual contributors from all around the world. Placement of stories is determined by a multitude of factors including freshness, popularity, and reputation. Contribution is open to all, and editorial judgement is in the hands of the community.
8. Mixx
Mixx
Mixx is a user-driven social media web site that serves to help users submit or find content by peers based on interest and location. It combines social networking and bookmarking with web syndication, blogging and personalization tools.
9. Diigo
Diigo
According to Diigo, this social bookmarking site is two services in one — it is a collaborative research tool on the one hand, and a knowledge-sharing community and social content site on the other.
10. Propeller
Propeller
Propeller is a social news portal, meaning that it is programmed by its audience. Its members post links to stories from all over the Web. Many of these stories originate from the websites of traditional media, including newspapers and magazines. But there are also many stories that seldom pop up in the mainstream.
