You can submit your best posts to Stumble upon and other sites like Digg.com but you have to make sure your site fits in with the social site you are submitting to. Stumbleupon is my favorite and always sends lots of targeted traffic.

Social bookmarking works where generating traffic and backlinks are concerned. But the method is questionable when it comes to converting traffic.

yes, I agree with Zhalene. Not all traffic are converting. Some bookmarking sites (like delicious, digg, etc.) helps but some don't indexed by search engines.

You'd be in a better position to leverage the social bookmarking tools if you had content that's of interest to your target audience. Post some articles to your site about things to consider when shopping for a host or a primer on terms used by web hosts to describe their services. This will give you some content you can submit to social bookmark sites and it will help your Search Engine Optimization too. Also, when you post these articles include a widget like addthis on each of them so people who read the articles can repost them to the social bookmark sites.

There are a ton of social bookmark sites out there, if you go to the addthis widget home page you'll find a listing for quite a few of them.

Hi It is favorite media to market your site now a days.
you can start with following site

stumbleupon.com
Digg.com
Blinklist.com
Del.icio.us

Its work like "add to favorite" feature in IE and BOOK MARK in FireFox.

The Best strategy is to make your title attractive and quite suspensive
while bookmarking. Add favorite keyword in Tag box.

This will help out you and your site will be success story.
