Social Bookmarking Statistics

What about Social Bookmarking Statistics (SBS) of your site? How popular is your site and can you tell how many times pages of your domain were bookmarked by visitors with a help of Social Bookmarking Services, such as del.icio.us, digg, reddit, simpy, furl or stumbleupon and others?

For my recent SEO project site with 20.000+ pages I wanted to get Social Bookmarking Statistics. I started with a simple queries, kind of http://digg.com/search?section=all&s=www.mysite.com just to see how many times site was digged. Besides I'm tired, that approach showed that the stats, which popular social boookmarking services generate, has dynamical unconsistent human behaviour and can't be used as the foundation of a solid practical analysis.

Soon I googled resources which try to be all-in-one SBS aggregators:

• iblogstats
• backtags
• popuri.us
• socialmeter
• xinureturns

Unfortunately no one delivers correct results.

Where social networkings go?

Social networking panel at the AlwaysOn Stanford Summit.

Travis Katz, SVP of My Space -
'networks going international and mobile, so people can take it anywhere.

Dustin Moskovitz, co-founder of Facebook -
'ubiquity is a big change. For instance, e-mail has been around for years, but only recently have people assumed everyone has an e-mail address.

Rich Rosenblatt, CEO of Demand Media -
'social network profiles will all get their own web sites; more smaller social networks will go up

Gina Bianchini, CEO of Ning -
'there would be many more social networking sites

Karl Jacob, CEO of Wallop -
'there won’t be social networks in 10 years. It will just be part of our daily lives.

Conclusion:
Older people are now joining social networking: vertical markets would help in attracting older people. Mobile technology would be very important going forward, people would be doing more social networking within businesses. About a million sites would have social networking within 2007, there would be a lot more Internet-made content in the future. The term “social networking” is not good, but no one came up with a better term.
