Because Lavalinx allows users to exchange bookmarks and bookmark their own pages, we are constantly looking for decent social bookmarking sites. We actually have a list of 900 bookmarking sites, but the list below are the ones we’ve added to Lavalinx so far. We try and track down social bookmarking sites that will give our users the most SEO value and/or social traffic.

We’ve listed all the social sites, that we are currently aware of, that offer hard (dofollow) links. We’ve also included all the social sites that add a nofollow to the link and social sites that just do a redirect on links.

We would like to expand this list, so please send us links to other social sites, particularly sites that provide a hard link.

Lavalinx rolled out a major upgrade this week, making it easier than ever to get relevant one way links for your site or blog.

Here are a few of the major upgrades:

1. The whole front-end website was redesigned with a more bold look-and-feel that covered a number of important usability issues. Now whether you represent an SEO agency, or if you just have a personal blog there’s an easy to follow path to signup. In fact, we have signup calls-to-action all over the website, so there shouldn’t be any problems signing up for an account.
2. The core functionality in Lavalinx for advanced link trading and social bookmark management and exchange has been an extremely effective SEO tool for those that got their sites set up properly. However, getting a site setup properly has been a challenge. We spent the last couple months developing a setup wizard that makes it easier than ever to get your site set up for advanced link trading and social bookmark exchange.
3. We’ve added an Automated Trade Suggestion tool that makes finding relevant link partners easier than ever. Why? Because our comprehensive algorithm does it for you. Based on tagged pages we can find the most relevant reciprocal, triangle and parallel link trades. Just keep your pages tagged properly and we’ll keep finding the most relevant trade scenarios.
4. We’ve totally revamped the way social bookmarking accounts are managed making it a simple process to setup and manage your accounts. We’ve also differentiated between social bookmarking sites that can be used in trades, and ones that can be used for private or personal bookmarking.
5. We are now offering a Wordpress plugin that will “talk” to Lavalinx allowing bloggers to more easily manage Receiving and Sending pages and Social bookmark pages.
6. We fixed a number of bugs and made a number of smaller improvements

We are constantly looking at ways to improve and innovate the link building process. We appreciate your feedback.

We are extremely excited to introduce the newest functionality from Lavalinx — Social Bookmarking Management and Exchange.

Now you can manage all your social bookmarking sites in one interface including knowing which of your pages you have bookmarked personally as well as getting other social bookmarking users to bookmark your pages.

What’s so great about Social Bookmarking?

1. Instant social traffic. A well written news article or blog post has the potential to drive massive traffic to your site. (I have had over 20,000 searches in a single day from both Digg and StumbleUpon!)
2. Hundreds of one-way links to your website in a short amount of time.  (Many of these are hard links, but even those that are not probably influence the rankings anyway.)
3. Backlinks appear very quickly in Search Engines.  Most links on regular pages often take weeks or months to be indexed.  We have seen a majority of our social backlinks get indexed within a couple days.

Why exchange Social Bookmarks?

1. More links.  If you bookmark a page in 10 of your favorite bookmarking sites, you get 10 links.  If you do 4 exchanges with other users that each have 10 bookmarking sites, you can get 40 links.
2. Different discoverers.  It is much more effective if all of the recommendations for your pages don’t come from you.
