I've been using this for my blogs. Basically just posting and tagging it. As to how effective this is? I can't really tell for sure, but at least I've got quite a few hits to my sites considering I set it up only like 3 wks ago.

I got this ebook package called the wordpress adsense system, it's feature on my site. It basically shows from start of installing wordpress to various internet marketing/seo methods. One of which is del.icio.us. Do check it out, click my affliate link if you are interested to purchase too

15-20 mill

the figure was never released but it's in that range

Del.icio.us is awesome if you know how to use it right...just like Digg. Reddit.com is almost the same as del.icio.us (thats annoying to type) but even better because they have a rating system.

What is del.icio.us? I have heard the name before but never looked into it.

[akula]

it's a social bookmarking shop

it lets you:

a) save your own bookmarks online (i.e. my bookmarks http://del.icio.us/hotblogger - webpages i've surfed recently)

and

b) look at other people's boobmarks

(i.e. http://del.icio.us/fredwilson these are fred wilson's bookmarks

or

http://del.icio.us/tag/webdesign - which are everybody's bookmarks about webdesign

or http://del.icio.us/popular/ which are currently popular bookmarks

overall - delicious is just a better search engine because all the sites in it's database are added there by humans ( rather than algorithms)

lol you said boobmarks heh heh heh

Consider delicious to be a marketing tool. When you save a bookmark up to the site it basically say to others " Hey I think this site is cool" and then others check it out. If they like it to then they bookmark it up there also. When you get so many bookmarks its like your site is ULTRA cool and many people will check it out. I don't know anyone that actually browses it for sites though.
