It is true that all of these social bookmarking and other sites have updated their algos and remove spam all the time. They even shut down accounts rather quickly after the user spent lots of time setting up the account. But, none the less marketers are always at it. It seems to be a losing battle. What's happened now it that 80%+ of these site are now no follow and give no back link credit to the users... Thanks for providing very helpful information.

I do not personally use social bookmarking sites as a part of my arsenal of tools. I do believe that we must first engage our readers with relevant content, and not just try and market to the masses, especially on websites like Twitter, Facebook. Engagement should be on a personal level. If we do happen to draw a following of loyal readers then we have done our job as information service providers. We must build a trusting relationship with our readers first and foremost. Thank you for allowing me to post on your topic. I agree with Avi on this topic as well.

On a personal perspective, I actually find social bookmarking/networking sites as a double edged sword. No question it is a very powerful marketing tool but it can also affect you negatively if you just take it as a marketing tool alon. You must also remember that this are "social" sites and the best way to maximize its use (subtly) is to socialize then market, socialize, market...

Finally all these sites are changing their algos to remove spam. Twitter also very recently tried to remove spams by removing follower counts. All everybody is trying to achieve is personalization based votes. Thanks Thanks for sharing the useful information.

At the end of the day it is probably a losing battle overall. Craigslist did this a while ago and it certainly did not stop the spam they receive.
