Ok, currently on my site I have a bookmark link in my navigation bar (link is in my signature, also looking for reviews if you care to). However, I'm uncertain whether or not they really are worth it.

I'm a self taught hobbyist webmaster so I'm not really "in the know" when it comes to some things. I'm just wondering, do bookmark links increase the frequency of people bookmarking your page? Do they just look like extra spam?

I don't think I will keep mine up... it seems like even with it there it only works for IE and not mozilla or opera anyways.

I just ditched our AddThis links, I would stick to print/email and (a better than addthis) combination of social links

really, it depends on your site. if it is a review type site with just reviews and no real engaging content, its a waste of space on your site. those type of sites often don't get enough of a following on the social sites to be worth it. However, if you have a blog or site with frequently updated content, and you are active on those social sites yourself, you will find that you get a lot of shares and it is worth it to have them available.
