You probably already know that social bookmarking is an excellent way to generate more traffic to your website. Not only does a proper social bookmark strategy generate extra traffic to your website, but it also gives your SEO efforts a nice little boost...

The problem? There is an estimated 3,084,221 social bookmarking sites out there to choose from! (Random number made up for effect! The actual number exceeds 1,000 if you include scuttle sites) So how do you narrow down this ever growing list of websites to those that are actually worth your time?

How about a list of stats? I love lists chock full of interesting and ultimately useful statistics! Have a peek:

1. digg.com  - 383,598,000 Inbound Links - 33,433,760 Monthly Visitors

2. Yahoo! Buzz - 20,031,000 Inbound Links - 8,119,906 Monthly Visitors

3. StumbleUpon.com - 234,000,000 Inbound Links - 4,418,609  Monthly Visitors

4. reddit.com - 161,685,000 Inbound Links - 4,908,990 Monthly Visitors

5. Technorati.com - 175,287,000 Inbound Links - 3,309,174  Monthly Visitors

Wow! That's a lot of ready made traffic for an enterprising real estate agent ready to jump in! There's one more site I'd like to toss into the fray jsut for comparisons sake... The ever loved Twitter! Technically it's not a bookmarking site, but it sure does have a large audience! Check this out:

Bonus stats: twitter - 486,750,806 Inbound Links - 19,728,619  Monthly Visitors

Nearly 20 million monthly visitors to Twitter aone! Toss in the other 5 social bookmarks, and you're looking at a lot of extra exposure, and a whole lot of search engine love if you play your cards right. Make it a great one!
