If you are looking to get backlinks by submitting your pages to bookmarking services (note I didn’t say you would use a bookmarking service to save useful link you’re actually going to use – no one does that), there are two programs: Bookmarking Demon and SocialBot.
Let me just get this out of the way – SocialBot is the clear, hands-down winner.
So let me start with the Bookmarking Demon review.
Bookmarking Demon comes with 100 social bookmarking sites. The concept is that you can grab all the urls from your domains, add in bogus urls to make your booking appear more ‘natural’, spin the content of your submissions so they are not all the same, and randomly submit to various accounts you create.
All done automatically.
Sounds great.
Used to work.
I’d say through version 4 Bookmarking Demon was useful.
Now in Version 5.1 it’s a complete mess. The interface is near impossible to manage. It is broken up into different areas ridiculous to decipher and effectively use. Maybe if this is the only program you used, and you used it every day, you would learn the ins and outs and it would be second nature. But unless you created this monstrosity, good luck.
Basically, it tries to do much and has a disorganized interface.
The latest upgrade, from 5 to 5.1, now includes a requirement that your license be entered. That would be fine, unless you bought the original software years ago. Think that license number would be easy to find? Guess again. Nowhere to be found in the software.
Ironically, the software appears to have a license number embedded in it, which checks a server to determine that new version is available. But then it ignores the number and wants it manually entered again – but it won’t tell you what it is. Utterly stupid.
Needless to say, this appears to be the top support request to the support manager – which is in Singapore. Type in your purchase email and get your license key. Except it doesn’t work. Simple as that … does not work.
Bookmarking Demon is basically dead man walking software.
SocialBot, on the other hand, is one of many titles from the well-respected Incansoft software collection.
Easy to use interface.
Not just a hundred bookmarking sites, but try 1200. Yes 1200. 12x as many as Bookmarking Demon.
You can start using it right away. Create multiple accounts. Spider your domains for urls to submit. Using spinning syntax to create unique submissions to each site.
And it costs less than a quarter of what Bookmarking Demon costs.
The one place I give BMD the edge is the ability to randomly select accounts to post to.
But in every other respect, this is a no-brainer decision.
Go with SocialBot – available at the Incansoft.com website.
