Page 2 - Effect of Social Bookmarking on PR

Social bookmarking can bring you a whole lot of traffic but I doubt it affects your PR, at least not directly. Unfortunately the social bookmarking traffic is not very likely to come back to your site regularly. But it help other webmasters discover your site and if they find it really interesting they might even link to it. If you are going to use social bookmarking try and get as many visitors as possible from it.

With a Google PageRank 8/10 digg.com is one of the hottest social bookmarking spots on the Web. Its history leaves more room for controversy than any other site of the kind. Once you made it to the front page you feel like king for a day. The traffic boosts, the conversions skyrocket (that’s if you really have something to offer to the diggers and you should know your audience if you want to harvest the benefits).

What Are the Benefits?

It’s pretty clear that getting digg traffic is the major benefit, but how many of you know that a digg listing bears high SEO value too? Its huge PR and the fact the Google scans it at least once a day are the two major arguments that make the first page of digg.com such a desired destination.
