Do social bookmarking icons work? how do you use them?

Hi,

I'm wondering if putting social bookmarking buttons next to content is actually effective. For examle:

or

yes, in my opinion they help

We have them in our blog post
http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/blogs/1/how-maintain-your-car-s-paint-25/
and in the forum post
http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f7/social-network-categories-how-many-too-4262.html

and we get more bookmarks added everyday

 

Care to share how much traffic it's driving?

 

I have experienced 130% of traffic growth with these buttons and social media and I should say that if you have great contents to share with people out there, why not pass it on to social media to get some traffic?

 

To be honest I really had no luck with those buttons. So I have removed them from my site.

 

I think what I'm really scared of is that social traffic isn't productive. I used to get some stumble traffic and a 100 stumble users click on as many adsense ads as one organic visitor from Google...

 

I get lots of bursts of traffic to my site and a few sign ups to boot. I like them....

 

Try onlywire.com if you like bookmarking. You just make accounts on all of the different bookmarking sites, then it stores your logins. Then all you have to do is press one browser button they give you and it will bookmark to about 20 sites.

It's totally free too. I have no idea why.

 

Do you know how to get those icons without vbseo?
