I am tired of Google on this subject. I can find hundreds of social bookmarking sites, but on most occasions more than 80% are dead and 10% out of remainder 20% are useless
BEFORE YOU POST ANY LIST or share any social bookmarking site,PLEASE READ BELOW CRITERIA CAREFULLY!
The backlink must be visible on internet, you can submit hundreds of links on DIGG, but none appears anywhere. Many sites will just save your backlink in their DB. FARK wonāt take links either.
The backlink must be Do Follow unless the PageRank is above 5. For eg. Reddit
Google PageRank for Home Page must be 1 at least. PR5 or more shall be highly appreciated.
The site should be happy to take links from mainstream sites. For Eg. bizsugar, itās highly moderated and wonāt accept links
Make sure site is in working state.
Please DO NOT post ANY linksā¦ just share social sitesā¦ like this: FB Page; Google Plus; some domain (w/o tld) and so on
If you share a Social bookmarking site in this thread without researching above criteria, your post shall be treated as SPAM!
We are in this situation coz most PLIGG sites cannot sustain with floods of URL submissions. Itās not practical for a small site owner to moderate hundreds of URL submissions every hr / day. You put up a Pligg and links spammers will take your site down with porn / adult / warez and all such stuff..
Actually, itās the mods who decide what is spam, not the OP. As the OP you are at liberty to ignore any posts you like, but that wonāt make it spam!
I agree with you Gandalfā¦ I am just too afraid of fellas whoāll post just for the sake of posting. In the process the thread will lose itās goalā¦
Granted, not everyone can be knowledgeable about SEO so please take no offense.
But your thinking is in error
Page Rank does not apply to sites but to pages.
There is no way to accurately determine what a pageās PR is nowadays anyway.
Even if it could be, PR is highly over-rated (you have probably been reading old posts by self-proclaimed SEO experts)
Focusing on SPAMming sites with non-no-follow backlinks (there is no such thing as a DF link) is not what you should be focusing on.
Concentrate on creating a site worthy of others linking to of their own volition.
As tempting as it may be to think you can save yourself from some work by using dubious SEO tactics, do yourself a favor and disregard any so-called āoff-pageā advice from self-proclaimed SEO āexpertsā unless they are Google, Bing etc. representatives.
Iām likewise curious where it is you want to take the discussion. That said, it does seem to be engendering some considered replies. Anyone posting anything that runs counter to the Sitepoint Forum rules, can always be responded to on a case by case basis.
PR in this case is a GREAT Criteria to ensure the site has been around for a while and that there is a huge probability that the site will continue to sustain and bear all the wrath of black hat SEOers
I donāt wanna go off the topicā¦ and additionally, I donāt wanna share few other things ā¦
Therefore, my friend, I would like to focus on the topic of this post.
The goal of this thread is the topic of this thread:
Looking for list of Social Bookmarking Sites with DF Backlinks and PR1 or more
Criteria listed in first post of this thread, let me share a few
Facebook Pages (NF but high PR)
Google+ (NF or encrypted but high PR)
Reddit (NF or encrypted but high PR)
Stumbleupon (havenāt checked DF/NF, but worth)
BAD Social bookmarking sites if you wanna share a sitepage with the world:
DIGG (Bad Kitty, links go into a hole, donāt even exist on internet)
FARK (BAD KITTY again - they donāt take links anymore)
As has already been explained to you, you cannot have a site with high PR; one page may have high PR, and other pages very low PR. In particular, any page where you are able to place a link for yourself is likely to have low PR. And, of course, if you try to do this on any kind of scale, you run the risk of violating Googleās guidelines on link schemes.
Iām afraid I donāt understand your thinking here.

The backlink must be Do Follow unless the PageRank is above 5.
[/quote]If the link is nofollow, it will make no difference to you whether the page it it on has PR0 or PR9; it will be ignored by Google for purposes of ranking your site.
The main purpose of social bookmarking is to allow people to share useful content. If your content is good, then sharing it on social sites (or, better still, other people sharing it on social sites) may well bring you increased traffic. It will not help your SERPs ranking.
Iām hesitant to allow this topic to remain public, as experience has taught us these sorts of questions usually attract responses of long lists of sites, and simply encourage Spamming of those site. (Such lists are generally also very out of date. SitePoint regularly appears on lists of forum supposedly providing followed links, yet external links have been nofollow since before I joined five years ago.) The moderators will therefore be keeping a close eye on the direction this topic takes.
As explained earlier, Iām not looking at PR of domain (home) for quality of site but with PR Iām able to predict that site has been around for a while and probability of itās survival.
I would not like to go deep into this discussion on how a person can use high PR NF links. This a too big topic I am afraid Iāll go off topicā¦[quote=āTechnoBear, post:9, topic:214632ā]

First off, given my criteria itās least likely anyone will post long lists here. Secondly, Iāll ensure and advise people not to post any link. Iāll edit the first post nowā¦
Mate, I would love to see mods aroundā¦ Itās always a good thing. I got no bad intention and will make sure nothing wrong takes place on this threadā¦
Thatās not exactly true although it is likely to happen. I wonāt go into details right now (too long) but something that it is useful and it is a real benefit for the forum members, will stay.
Personally, I think that your approach is wrong (and it happens to many people coming from India so I guess marketing information there is not up to my standards)
So why do I think that youāre approach is wrong? Because you only think about do follow links, you talk about rank, you talk about social media and how to use itā¦ or more to say itā¦ how to abuse it and take it beyond the limits.
You say that DIGG is bad because the links are no follow?
Simply, to me, it shows that you do not understand the medium.
Social media is the new word of mouth. Youāre not the one to share anything there (more than whatever you post in you FB page or your pinterest). It is the people who shares because your content is that great that deserves to be shared.
If the links are follow or notā¦ It is just that important, you can still have a huge amount of traffic from DIGG and thatās what Google loves more than do-follow backlinks.
Sorry and maybe Iām sounding a bit harsh but you make nonsense to me
Digg is a link hole, the links shared over there donāt seem to exist on internetā¦ They are throwing all bookmarks in their DB probably.
Of course I canāt force-ask Digg to place my links on their site, but, itās totally misleading whatās happening on internet todayā¦ People go to sites like Digg to share their contentā¦
[quote=āIT-INDIA.com, post:16, topic:214632ā]
Our automated spam filter, Akismet, has temporarily hidden your post for review.
[/quote]Yes - sorry about that.
For some reason, Akismet occasionally seizes upon perfectly good posts with no links, and decides they are Spam, and three of yours in this thread fell victim. I can only apologise.
With further ātrainingā, the plug-in should get better at detecting Spam accurately.
Feels good to see that this site is using akismentā¦ You and this site are doing a good jobā¦ I can come over here and argue and debate with you allā¦ only a privilegeā¦
Not exactly, I have Social bookmarking sites list from 2010 and before, guess what happened to most of them? Super hit Sites with PR like 5 - 7 are dead todayā¦ For me itās a pain to see such sites gone coz of spam. Not one, but many. Guess what? More than half of social sites that existed in addme about 6 yrs back donāt exist anymore.
I have been in site promotion biz since 2003, been in IT since 1994, sometimes active and then passiveā¦ and so onā¦
The survival rate of a site (including backlinks) is very very lowā¦ The only virtual real estate on internet which will continue to host your backlinks are fortune type sites.
I can work my @ ss off to make backlinks, but, what will happen 5 - 10 yrs from now? If do that blindly most likely, most of my back links will disappear from internet in future.
Actually, if I share my link on a site like digg, itāll never ever ever even appear in internet, let alone survival.
Check the attā¦ SBM is for social bookmarking siteā¦ The survival rate of a social site (regardless of itās success and PR) which hosts links for others is not more than 10%
So PR is not a good indication of the longevity of a site. At least by checking the whois, you can see accurately how long the site has already existed. That doesnāt guarantee it will continue to exist, any more than PR does, but it is a more accurate figure.[quote=āIT-INDIA.com, post:20, topic:214632ā]
For me itās a pain to see such sites gone coz of spam.
[/quote]Indeed - which is why we try to discourage people from Spamming such sites for backlinks. As @molona has pointed out, the point of social media sites and social bookmarking sites is the social aspect - the sharing among like-minded people. These sites are not designed or intended to be used for self-promotion.

[/quote]So donāt waste your time on this kind of activity. Concentrate on building quality content that other reputable sites will choose to link to. Find other ways of gaining backlinks.
Knowing all that then, why the focus on backlinks and where they can be placed? It sounds like a bit (a complete) waste of time. Why not put your efforts into what you can affect - the quality of your content?
