Here is a list of 70 + Social News and Bookmark Websites. The Social revolution is hot on the net and these sites are great for Internet Marketing and some low level SEO, and can be beneficial in promoting your websites and content. They are not the best links in the world, but they are an important part of an overall link building profile.
Submit your website content and get backlinks, both dofollow and nofollow, promote your websites and expose your stuff to high traffic platforms.
The News sites, like Digg, basically allow you to submit news type stories and articles from your website to theirs and the members vote for them, the more votes the more exposure your submitted content gets.
The Bookmark sites are where you submit content/websites as a bookmark and the bookmark can be marked public so that other site members have access to your profile, bookmarks and a link to your sites.
You should also add these site's "add" buttons in your own sites so your visitors are given the opportunity to vote from within your own sites. You can get the buttons individually by visiting the respective sites one by one, or you can add an all in one bookmark that you can get the code for at AddThis. You can see this button at the bottom of each of my posts.
If you have lots of websites, or you want to save time, then use the service that I use to submit to many social sites for me, for as low as 19 cents per bookmark, check them out at, Social Maximizer.

Wow, that’s a truly impressive collections of links JR. Thanks for posting that.
Thanks Chris, I appreciate it!
Hello Guy,
Thanks so much, I will add it to the list, and I personally needed that for one of my sites. Thanks
Thanks Dave, I hope to interact with you more often, here and at 5 Star. I know it can be confusing, but once you do it for a while, it gets easier and easier.
The number of social bookmarking sites has exploded in the last year, leaving someone new the space probably a bit overwhelmed at where to start. If you are new to social networking understand that each social networking site is different, it attracts a different audience with different interests. Thus what interests someone on Reddit might not appeal to anyone on Digg.

Man I love reading yoru site and subscribed to it a month or so ago…so first I want to say thanks….especially for all the great lists of great sites…you are truly a resource for the Newbie and Master alike.
Now, I want to offer my confession to you. I am totally lost on what to do next…the answer is probably as plain as day but I am a Newbie to internet marketing and am really trying to get this thing rolling.
So, what I really want to know is this….I submitted my site to via 2 social posters like you recommended and as I did it I signed up for accounts on all of them. That was about a month ago and shockingly enough I got some traffic. I am going to continue to submitt to more sites like the ones you have posted, but that cant be it, can it?
Is it just submit once like a directory and move on, or are we suppose do something next like interact or or grab more sites….
I have searched the web to find more on Social Bookmarking sites besides just submitting them but I found nothing.
Could you write a new article that is a “no brainer” chapter 2……”Now that you have submitted to Social Bookmarking Sites You need to 1)………2)…….3)….etc.”?
I think that would be a great resource for your readers and definately myself included.
If not could anyone who reads this please post on where I can find that info….PLEASE!
thanks and happy New year to all!

@Eric
I am not sure what you mean by “what to do next”? Do you mean as far as submission?
That’s my point…for example, do you just submit to mister-wong or googletop once and then that’s it or after you submit your site and create an account is there a way to further your website into the social bookmarking network so that it keeps getting found daily? I would imagine that there has to be more to social bookmarking then just submitting your link once and then leaving it
Or is it all just to create one link and one backlink?
@Eric
No, initially you can submit your home page then what you want to do is submit on a regular basis, if you have a blog then you can submit your blog posts each time you post. If you have a static site then you can submit your content pages. Make sense?
Make sure you anchor the links with the respective KW for each page and you can also use the keywords for those pages in the title of the link and then add your site wide keywords as well.
Example Format:
KW Page Title | Main Site KW
Laptop Guide | Cheap Laptop Computers
make sense?
Now, be careful with Stumble, they will block those url’s that you submit too often, so just be easy there.
But most of the ones on that list are cool, like Mister Wong, Reddit, Magnolia etc.
Also, if you are using Social Poster, they do not include all the social sites you want to submit to.
Use my list and see which do-follow sites are not in social poster, I believe there are a few, like gozoof and googletop and then submit to those manually, they are worth it. Just set up a bookmark folder in your browser and save those that you will add to manually for easy access. Make sense?
I want to say thank you for all the sites, and the tips. keep up the awesome work!
Dan@Foam mattress pad | mattress pad protectors last blog post..Foam Mattress Pad Protector
JR, I have a question. Many of the sites I went to ask you to rate the site you are adding. Is it too self serving to add my own blog and give it high ratings? I am not sure how else to add my own blog?
Steves last blog post..Guaranteed Formula to Turn Failure Into Success
@Steve
No way, rate away and rate high! Not sure what you mean by add your blog?
BTW, be careful with Stumble, add your same url content sparingly, like home page and 1 other sub page, not all the pages of your site
@jason
Thanks and welcome!
This is a great list for people who have no idea which bookmarks are out there and which are dofollow. Nice job!
.-= Ja-Nae´s last blog ..Are You Over-compensating? =-.
Looks like Social Median no longer exists, and Qassia is no longer free ($5 subscription fee).
.-= Pick Up Artist´s last blog ..Pen15 Routine =-.
@ Pick Up
Social Median has been sold to XING, which is a very good site for business related stuff, Qassia is charging $5? What a rip, definitely not worth it.

The free version from OnlyWire.com does a great job on submitting to most of the sites that are in here. In that way you can save a lot of time of submitting one site at a time.

great collection…its very useful..thanks for sharing it
You should add http://www.subbmitt.com to the list. It is a social news site and it doesn’t require a user account to post articles or to comment. Also as long as your article isn’t obvious spam, it will make the front page. It is my new favorite site.
@apiss
Thanks Apiss, will check these out.
