I used to submit my articles and press releases to the below platforms:

• Digg
• Linkedin
• Technorati
• delicious
• Stumbleupon
• prlog.com
• 1888press release

For the captioned web2.0 media platforms, what I have to do is to simply click and submit my aritcles.   I am quite sure most of you are already very familiar with these websites.   However, what are the beauties of using those platforms?

1. The digg, linkedin, stumbleupon and delicious are considered as web2.0 platform, which offers audience to interact with the author or related audiences.   It encourages people to leave comments and interact there with generating traffics as expected.   Since the articles you submitted were just an external link to your webpage, it doesn’t create much value in SEO point of view, but it does give a ‘vote’ to your page that maybe valuable in search engine eyes.
2. Regarding the prlog.com and 1888press release, I used to submit all my press release there since the pages created on said platform could be indexed by Google search engine just within a day (upon the above your article).  Moreover, you could image that you were publishing press release with creating a new page on a new website, and this page probably ranked the 1st page of a certain search phrase.  From my experience, these pages probably ranked higher than the orginal pages.
