Since then I have received a number of requests to compile a list of social media sites. Here is a categorized list of what I have found. Feel free to leave suggestions for inclusion in the comments.

Well ” blog-thing” I think that …Digg Story Links Are more Good For SEO….See Digg story pages give a direct link to your page with anchor text you designed. Digg Story Pages Rank High In Google and since the content on these pages is almost entirely a link to your content the people who do find the page via Google or another search engine are quite likely to click through to your site. So it’s kind of like have a top ranking position only it’s not 100% clickthrough….
wow great list, thank you!
checked some of the links and they’re great!!! I used of some them.. thanks
great article, the one i love is bebo.
[…] If you don’t already have accounts on any social media sites, sign up and get started. Most bloggers use the major sites like StumbleUpon and Digg, but also take some time to look for smaller, niche social media sites that can provide more targeted traffic (see our categorized list of social media sites).

Quality links.
Have you also seen the mass submission sites which submit your story to 50+ social bookmarking sites ?
The only problem is each social bookmarking site has its own login which you need an account for… so sounds good, but having to login / create 50 accounts, what a drag *yawn*

I think making our own social networking site is also a good marketing, in terms of keeping our customer coming back. I’ve been using a social marketing site developed by Mega Star Media and combined it with other social networking to generate a domino effect, an the results are great. Plus, you get a constant (not spiky) traffic, so it will look more appealing to advertisers.
I recommend http://www.therealpassport.com. It is also dofollow for webmasters.
Thanks for the list
add another called linksprocket com super fast 3 clicks to add your site. I have a post hit the front page and got a fury of hits that my host complained about so be prepared for traffic surges.
Thank you very much It is enough knowledge
Great list, very useful, thanks.

i like all the social bookmarking sites.
I would add http://www.IPopU.com to that list, its a pretty big Social Bookmarking site with 15,000+ members, and tens of thousands of submissions already. Clean simple layout, easy navigation, quick and easy submissions.Many categories to suite a variety of niches across the net.
