Linkdumps: list of
Linkdumps are predecessors to social bookmarking websites. They are less interactive and not so community focused – it is a fact, but they also used to (and still do) generate many visitors who would share links to all kinds of online products subject to viral marketing effect.
No doubt, linkdumps are a valuable traffic generation technique – I do not talk now of the quality of that traffic. In my opinion any website needs traffic. When it gets it it can analyze what kind of traffic it gets and what kind of traffic it wants.
Linkdump is not probably a nice word, but it clearly states what it is (I wonder if we can apply the same word to the modern social bookmarking websites? They share some components with linkdumps – links and visitors. The only social website component web 1.0 linkdumps are missing – tags).
So, it is not a waste of time to add your link to the old and good linkdumps after you are through with social website list (I guess you add all your original content to social websites expecting a wonder – your content picked up, you get tons of traffic and attract tens of natural links).

Another list of linkdumps is posted and rated here and here, but take your time to filter adult link dumps if you do not need them.
Summary: If you run a new website or you have viral content you should make use of these linkdumps. The only way to cash this sort of traffic properly – CPM (banner advertising). As a rule, linkdumps work just for one type of content – humor and entertainment. But if your website is not humorous it does not mean that you can’t find an angle and make fun in your niche.
