People linking to you will equate to traffic, getting traffic from these websites one way or another will definitely help your main domain get eyeballs. But does the traffic convert? My experience so far is not that well from the two sources mentioned above.
My bolding. Yes, social networking and social media optimization is part of the same dimension in my personal view. Like Aaron Wall, you are sceptical. I wrote a follow up article about this a few days later, where his and other sceptiscism are expressed.

Having a bookmark button at the bottom of a story can not hurt, or can it eat too much bandwith for 0.001 cent/100views?

Note: Wall's conclusion.

Private conclusion: Aaron Wall is perhaps not objective since he has his own (me included) affiliate network.
