You can get an intense surge of traffic from the social bookmarking sites when you hit a social vein, or something of popular interest. Getting sales is another thing entirely. I'm certainly game to learn more about gaining direct traffic from these sites as well. While I have seen little bits, it seems that it was always started by my own bookmarks that others have followed. However, for the most part, I've only developed a 'friend network' on Facebook, and haven't added my Facebook friends to my social bookmarking sites. I've heard of people who use Stumbleupon as their search page, so everything they find has been bookmarked by one of their friends... search results have been pre-screened by people you trust. As these services mature, search results from the social bookmarking sites gain the power of 'social credibility'. You can bet Google will soon be purchasing one of the top social bookmarking services in integrating their data into "The Algorithem". (Behaving much like The Borg, it strikes me...) Yes.
