Using Social Bookmarking should be done exactly as the title states - as a social activity. By linking to other sites and so on. One of the things stated in my article is not to blast all your posts... really, no point. I have decided to try and bookmark a few of my decent articles and see how things roll out. We'll see how it goes! @Chris Lang: I agree – bookmarking all your own posts, and only your own posts, not only looks tacky but also isn’t very effective.

You are very right to detail this. I have tested this heavily and if your profile is full of nothing but your own domain then this is found to be a negative indicator to Google. Also I have found that if you submit to all the bookmarking sites at almost the same time you get very little credit in Google. Think about it, if your site was actually submitted by different users at all these sites then the timestamp would not be within minutes of each other. I did a test. My friend blogged an article on Blogger and did not submit to any social sites. I published my own article about the same time. I submitted to all my social sites within 10 minutes of one another. His article was #1 on blogsearch for 2 days, mine never even showed up. My blog is way more powerful. 2000 links, PR 3 and a 19 in Technorati. His, no links, PR 0 and nothing in Technorati. In another test we published one of my articles and then over the course of 24 hours added the post to social bookmarking sites. I went to Websearch the next day top ten and held #1 on Blogsearch for a week. I call this natural progression and it is so far a true story. I believe that Google is testing social bookmarking sites as a indicator of a blog quality in preparation to buy Digg and begin using them as another blog ranking tool. I you have any questions or comments on this please contact me, Chris Lang. I am available for guest blog articles and interviews. I am somewhat of an authority on social bookmarking SEO. You list of sites above is very though, however there are 16 social sites that return backlinks in Google and if used properly show a "quality of the document" (from the Blogsearch patent) in Google's eyes. Let me know when you publish more articles like this, I will be glad to contribute.
