Definetly, site gets more benefit from social bookmarks, as they get traffic + bookmarks = money.

Nick,

I checked out your plugin a couple of days ago. It looks sexy :) I’ve always loved the look of your site, so it’s cool seeing you sharing the wealth.

I’m always shocked when I see 20-30 share this icons at the bottom of a post. It seems like most of the “whale blogs” are either using some form of “share this” or are like yours (Shoemoney and Mashable are great examples of that).

Digg requires quality, some following/influence, and a ton of luck from what I’ve seen.

Digg is really good for traffic, but we have to write quality content so that readers can vote us on digg.
It is the quality which will give us benefit.

Very nice post friend. Social bookmarking places an important role in blogging. I like twitter, facebook, friendfeed,reddit,stumbleupon and digg.

I get traffic from these sites. I like it very much and i also share other blog articles in that sites.

Thanks for this post. I agree with you completely! People who aren’t getting involved in social bookmarking and social media sites really are missing out.

I also agree that it’s much better to go after only a few sites rather than to go after a whole bunch. It’s better to only have a few, well designed, prominent looking icons at the bottom of a post than to have 60 tiny ones that won’t get used.

In fact, earlier today I launched my first ever plugin for WordPress that duplicates the six social icons that I use at the bottom of my posts over at Site Sketch 101.

I was finally able to read that article last night, and I completely agree with all of Tad’s complaints. Stumbleupon is too flaky to be your primary means of social bookmarking. But for 5 seconds of my life, I do get ~100 stumbles, so I can’t complain too much. ;)
