Bookmarking Demon: Surprisingly Good Social Bookmarking Software

Posted on 13. May, 2009 by Dustin Fennell in Tools

Social Bookmarking your website has been proven to raise your search engine rankings and even reduce the average CPC when using Google Adwords. For those who participated in this years 30day challenge, saw this happen when they used the free service at Social Marker to bookmark their blog posts as part of their link building strategies.

The biggest problem with manually social bookmarking your sites is that it takes time, a lot of time, to set up accounts and bookmark all your web properties. Not to mention disheartening, when you see all your efforts go down the trash if your account get banned from the social bookmarking sites for too much “self promotion”.

I knew there had to be a better way, so I went searching for a piece of software that could automate the process and make it much more streamlined. There were a few to choose from, but after some researching it came down to two, Social Submitter and Bookmarking Demon.

I had tried Social Submitter before, when they were first getting started using a free trial, and I wasn’t really impressed with it at the time. I decided to go ahead with Bookmarking Demon, having watch all their demonstration videos, it seemed to work pretty good.

I made the $150 investment knowing that if it worked as well as it seemed to in the videos I could make that back pretty fast.

I have to say I was surprised to find it actually works pretty damn well. Not to say I am not happy about that, but I really expected it not to work like in the videos. Well, gladly I was wrong.

If you have ever tried to setup separate accounts on all the social bookmark sites out there you know that it can take a full day just to get one account setup on each site. With Bookmarking Demon I am able to set up accounts on over 100 sites in a matter of 10 minuets. Which is a huge time saver and it even backs up your user names and passwords so you don’t ever have to remember them again.

The process is not without its faults, there are a few sites that have trouble during account creation, but its limited to about 5%. Which really is not bad considering sites change daily.

The actual bookmark process is really pretty simple and Bookmarking Demon has some built in features that really make the whole process much more effective then trying to do it manually.

First, is the text Spinning feature that allows you to randomly change your titles and descriptions for each bookmarking site. This help get by the duplicate content filters and makes sure that more of your bookmarks get indexed by the search engines. Which means more traffic and more back links.

Second, Bookmarking Demon has a built in spider software that crawls your site and pulls in every page to be bookmarked in a matter of seconds, complete with descriptions and tags pre-filled in for you to modify. This is a huge time saver and is completely customizable.   You can add and delete what ever pages you want.

Third and the most genius, is the ability to add RSS feeds to your social bookmarks that the software will randomly pick from to during bookmarking. This allows your bookmarks seem much more natural and tremendously reduces the chances of your accounts getting banned.

To give you an idea of the power of bookmarking demon, I did a test run on this very site. Using the software I bookmarked every post, category page, and tag page at the time and was able to get every page bookmarked on over 45 sites in a matter of about 2 hours.

That’s 2 hours for the whole process, which included:

• Creating 3 new accounts each on over 100 social bookmark sites
• Crawling My Site
• Spinning the Titles and Descriptions of my Bookmarks
• Submitting My Bookmarks

Why only 45 sites? Because I have the software set up to randomly pick between 50%-65% of my sites to be bookmarked across 50%-65% of my accounts. That way my chances are even less of getting my accounts banned.

Over all it was about 25 pages submitted to 45 sites each, or 1125 submissions, in two hours. I want to see you just get 3 accounts set up on 45 bookmarking sites manually in 2 hours, I bet you can’t do it.

There are even more feature I haven’t discussed with you yet, but I am not going to. The best thing for you to do is check out bookmarking demon for your self, watch the videos and see what you think.

It has my approval.
