Here's one that's been bugging me for a while..
I often get clients asking me to "put those social networking buttons on all their pages" because they're under the impression that people will add their product or service to sites like Digg or reddit under the belief that this will be a high powered site linking back to theirs and will improve SEO results.
My thinking is that sites like Digg will simply bury the link as spam or not "newsworthy" and this could potentially have the opposite effect so the only real benefit of adding these social networking buttons to (for example, an e-commerce jewellery site) would be to make it a little easier for visitors who use a bookmarking service like delicious.
So, any thoughts on the use of social networking buttons on pages to have any sort of impact on SEO?
