•    These sites are indexed better and fast by the search engines like Google and Yahoo so there are more chances of your site getting indexed faster and ranked better. You can get the site in the public eye at a relatively faster pace.
•    Social bookmarking submission is the best method to generate quality back links. With a higher number of back links from reputed sites, your page ranking is also improved.
