Not unless people actually post your content to those bookmarking sites. In other words, giving people an easy way to link to your site doesn’t matter if you don’t already have traffic, but if you already have traffic, you should see an increase.

The single best thing you can do to a Web site to improve search engine results is to use valid XHTML to mark up your content, with appropriate headings and page descriptions, and content organized toward the top of the page.

The next best thing you can do is create an XML site map that Google and Yahoo can easily parse, which simplifies their ability to crawl your site.
