As you know, one of the easiest way to gather backlinks and traffic for your site nowadays is by social bookmarking thru sites like stumbleupon, digg, delicious, jackool and a lot more. The more people bookmarking your site, the more backlinks and traffic your site gets that’s why there’s been a time when social bookmarking submission services has been offered at digitalpoint.

Yahoo! Buzz is the latest addition to the Yahoo! Network wherein it features the most popular stories determined by people around the web.

It is like the popular bookmarking site Digg wherein contents are ranked based on votes and search term popularity. What’s better with it is that top stories will be featured on the Yahoo! homepage which will definitely give publishers good traffic to their sites that contains the full story.

Most of webmasters today use social bookmarking as a tool for getting traffic and building backlinks for their site, and yes it is really effective.

I am talking about this after reading Gary Baybayan’s “My Game Plan That Conquered The Marhgil Macuha SEO Contest In Google.”

He won that seo contest by Marhgil Macuha taking the top spot a day before the contest end outranking Jehzlau’s entry which used to rank for a long time. I also joined that contest and placed 3rd (I only did social bookmarking for my entry, no other link building strategies).
