The ebook I read to research this post was Social Bookmarking which I downloaded for free from obooko.com It's an excellent ebook which I wish had been longer but the author whose name I'm not sure of has written a full length book on the same subject & this ebook was written to promote it.
There's 2 types of social bookmarking
1 social news where news stories are often the theme. These rate individual articles.
and 2 social bookmarking which rate whole websites.
A good example of a social news site is delicious.com It's an important difference because you obviously will have to visit social news sites more often. It's suggested that you sign up to at least 25 sites of both types. This is potentially giving your site exposure to millions of people. Another important point is don't just spam these sites with stuff about your website. Try & seek material from the web that's useful. You can maybe note what's recommended on one site & mention it on another. This is the most effective way of attracting people to your page. Also use social media sites, the big 3 are facebook, myspace & orkut. I would add black planet & google+ to that.
Incidentally you need to give your site 18 months to see significent growth. A good idea is bookmarking demon which will post comments to lots of social bookmarking sites in one go although you still have to initially sign up to them.
