Do you think social bookmarking sites are very useful for promoting websites?

Most popular social bookmarking site for submiting links to websites : http://digg.com/

I think it can be very effective if your website or article you are submiting is a great site, so people will Digg it, too.

But, there is also a lot of competition on Digg since many people use it to promote their sites, so a lot of the time it is not effective.

Assuming that you find a site that isn’t extremely overpopulated (I’m looking at you, MySpace, Facebook and Twitter) that you’d get too much competition, it would be okay.

But you wouldn’t want a site so underground that you got no views or followers (‘cause where’s the fun in that?)

It’s all about finding a balance: population versus competition.

The internet is a feeding ground, much like the Sahara: if there are too many lions and not enough gazelles, competition is going to arise—although we lack the ability to physically kill our opponents—we can find new hunting grounds, however…

I think that it all depends on what your site is about..

I believe social bookmarking sites are great in getting your articles and blog posts out - also they're good for activists and reporters to get their messages out to the outside world. Places like Twitter, Facebook, Digg and Stumbleupon have a massive global audience. Even the Iranian protesters inside and outside Iran are still using Twitter to promote their pro-democracy campaign.

depends on what your trying to advertise really.
