Has Anyone Heard of Social Monkey?

[CrescentReviews]

I recently signed up for an internet service called Social Monkey. It claimed to be able to generate backlinks to your website on a daily basis depending on whether you were a free or premium member. It was something like 25 backlinks for a single site per day for free members and 100 backlinks for up to 3 sites per day for premium members.

SocialMonkee - Your Instant Backlink Builder!

that's the link to the site.

Thank you very much! All input is much appreciated.

[r0cc0]

I heard about this one a few months ago and have tried it a little. Once you have more than a few pages to promote then the 'once a day' thing is a little frustrating for the free service, but even 3 times a day for the paid service isn't all that much. I don't know exactly how effective it's been, but it's free and can't hurt. I did notice that FireFox 4 says the Social Monkee plug-in isn't compatible, for what it's worth.

alright I changed it. Thanks!

Hehehe...when I first read this, I thought you were talking about Click Monkeys.

Click Monkeys!!

These guys are GREAT! They have a huge tanker just off the coast of the US and they have a TON of people just click-click-clicking away on my AdSense sites...making me a ton of money.

Thank God for click monkeys!

Anyone satisfied with SocialMonkee service? For premium account, Is it really get 100 social bookmarks from different social bookmarking sites via Social Monkee? Please share your experience.

[NWJewelry]

I use the free service. You can't use the plugin with firefox but if you go to the website it doesn't take 5 minutes, once a day. It seems to be working for me.

[guitarjosh]

I got the free account by simply posting my referral link in this forum a few times in answer to posts requesting marketing ideas. I would create a tinyurl link that went to my referral url. I got 1 or 2 new members with each post. After 10 members, I got the ugpraded account and I'm still getting members from that. I'm up to like 23 referrals now!

And yes.. it's 100 free bookmarks.. and the report is included. They always check out. I don't know if there's much value in them as all the sites are created by socialmonkee it seems, but hey.. can't hurt.

It does what it promises though. I do very little backlinking but have a couple sites I hit with this.

[ProvenViral]

Social monkey is a great little online application. If you have a website and want automated backlinks, social monkey is the way to go.

[RayW]

Don't multiple links from the same website count only once? So therefore, you're really only getting 25 links from socialmonkee, right?

[busygal21]

If you are looking for a free option and don't mind doing the work, then Social Monkee is a good little application. If you are looking for something more sophisticated then Andy Fletchers WP Syndicator is a great paid plugin. It's not a social bookmarking, but rather your post gets syndicated to other web 2.0 properties and social sites, giving you a link to your website with a specific anchor text.

I just join social monkee recently and have read the report on which bookmark site our link was publish it seem to be running fine and it also boost up my rank on serp if you would like to try, please visit my site tipsandtricksbloggerdotcom but don't worry there is no monkey out there he he he please visit my blog and say your comment okay. Thanks Guys

[ThrillerAuthor]

I have the premium account and it's been a great service so far, although I cannot solely attribute my submissions there to moving up in the ranks, because I use a variety of backlinking techniques.

They have a private network of bookmarking sites - at least 100 sites. You have to submit the RSS feed of each submission to aggregators (I don't know if they give the RSS feed out with free accounts) and ping it to make it more effective. They can also drip-feed your submission.

[WorkSatisfaction]

I joined the free option about two weeks ago. So far so good!

It does take about 5 minutes a day to generate the entry for submission but I figure it would have taken me far longer to manually submit to 25 different sites to get valuable backlinks so I do it with a smile!

I have just not gotten around to promoting my affiliate link yet to qualify for a free upgrade but this is a great incentive for everyone to create 100 backlinks to your site daily as opposed to the 25 which come standard with the free membership.

[ravi2011]

use your url socialmonkee.com not socialmonkey

[cooler1]

The guys who are having success with Social Monkee, how long did it take for you to start seeing the backlinks get indexed after you pinged the RSS feed?

[rowanman28]

Here's a question, has anyone done a test to determine if these social bookmarking links have any effect at all on ranking? I noticed about three or four months ago that social bookmarking, what used to be my main back linking method did not work anymore, or had very little effect.

[Bindu Dwivedi]

i do not know how much Google would give importance these websites like social monkey, click money and so on.

[alantay]

I dont think Google is stupid. This would not give a good SEO advantage eventually. But im gonna try it anyhow.

I would like to know this as well. It seems like socialmonkees links have very little to know value at all. Although it is free and only takes a few minutes to do a submission, is it even worth the trouble? Seems like it might not be...

[zatarim]

Yes i use this site and yes it helps.

And how long do you think you are going to get away with that. Google isn't stupid, and they tend to catch on to this kind of fraud fairly quickly. Don't you think that a lot of clicks and no sales isn't going to raise red flags. Not a wise thing to do in my opinion. Besides that, it is stealing.

Damn warriors always so serious about their SEO and stuff - I think ya need to read the page again man... and try to place an order :P

The owners of Social monkee did a case study, they got a site to rank #1 with only backlinks using Social monkee.

Although it wasn't a competitive keyword, they said the site was for a new product launch i think so there was a lot of other marketers targetting the same keyword.

Aside from that I haven't heard much positive feedback from people using Social monkee. Most people combine it with other link building methods so they don't know what kind of effect it has.

I think all Social monkee's sites are PR0, but im not sure how much importance PR is anymore to Google. People say PR is less important than it used to be.

I got a premium acct and I submit to it 3 times a day with 3 different url's. I can spread them out between 1 and 14 days so each of them get gradual and consistant links at different intervals. Bkmk is not waht it use to be but this will certainly add to diversification of your links. The way I see it is it will be 10000 links I didn't have.

What is your success rate on getting the links indexed out of 100 links?

Also, do you just ping the RSS feed report or do you also create a Feed burner feed out of the RSS feed like it advises in the tutorial video?

Cheers,

[runtag65]

I use too,really easy,but dont see yet the backlink. But just only 5 days i do it.

[ricky709]

Wise people should not use it to directly point it to their money sites. There is little to know value of this backlinks. I prefer it to use it for tier 2-3 of my link pyramid structure. They also have an article site backlinkkingdom which is once again an automated article submission to some of their network site. However, I have always been skeptic to use such linking method to directly point it to my money site.

I would like to know the experience of other people as well.

[rosesmark]

I must say that this software is little bit effective but i will fully try it and then shared my thought with all

[blueimports]

Hey All,

I started using Social Monkee on a weekly basis (1-2 times a week) for the past two months. This was the ONLY thing I did for one of my sites (a dot us domain) and it ended up jumping from #8 spot to #3 within a month or so. I would def recommend trying them out. It's free...so what it can it hurt Enjoy!

[ricky709]

Is it a competitive keyword? What is the search volume and difficulty level? Did you bookmark your main domain or used some other link building method like link pyramid/wheel to bookmark the site?

Do you follow any other link building strategy? Socialmonkee alone should not be of much help as there is little to know PR on all sites.

Would you mind sharing the link to this case study please... this sounds very Interesting.

[Content Publisher]

It's a good service. The free version is good, but I'd recommend the premium one. You get 100 social submissions per link and you can submit 3 times per day (so 300 backlinks per day or 9,000 per month, all for a one-off fee). You also get access to the RSS feeds for each submission, so you can then ping and submit the feeds to further build their strength.

I'd recommend it

Have you seen any improvement to your rankings? I've been a premium member a few weeks. I've seen a few of the backlinks get indexed, but it hasn't made any improvement to my rankings as yet.

I've seen a rise in traffic and KWs, although I've been building backlinks from multiple sources so it's difficult to know where the rises came from.

[xnice]

The links from Social Monkee are many pligg website. It will help your page index and have some back links. But you can not use this tool only to challenger with other sites.

Do you create a feed burner feed out of the RSS report like it advises to in the video tutorial or isn't this necessary to get decent results?

Also, what pecentage of the links got indexed approximently?

I literally only just upgraded to premium around a week ago so I'm not too sure what's best at the moment.

I've been just pinging the RSS feeds but haven't had any amazing results just yet (16/100 indexed links after 1 week).

I might try out the feedburner feed; it looks like it could work.

[dotnetappdevelopment]

Basically, Social Monkey lets you find where your friends are and what is going on around your neighborhood

[Kiosk]

I have never come across with such auto generated back link software or application. Those who are involved in using such software, let me know whether it is working. whether Google considers those links as a back link or in time you have faced some serious issues from Google.

Hi,

I have used social monkee for about a month, the free version. After submitting your bookmarks, a report will be sent containing the urls of the bookmarks. If you checked your bookmarks one day after submitting, they are there. However, several weeks down the road, you will notice that the bookmarks are gone such as "oops can't find pages etc". There are a fair number of these broken pages.

This has happened to me too, as I have also been using it for a month now (Sept). As it is free, I suppose its a fair trade off, and I have seen some increase in pages, but as also stated many times above, I wouldn't receommend relying on this as the only source of backlinks.

I've noticed some pages down also. I thought the owners said that the links remain permenant because they own the social bookmarking sites themselves? I wonder whats going on.

[Vibrant Warrior]

Seems to be up and running at my end. Personally I think Social Monkee is the easiest of all Bookmarking tools out there.

They now have an Elite membership level for a one-off fee that supports 150 bookmarking sites. I can select 3-30 days to drip feed the links to any website I choose, fill in the fields and add in a few spin syntaxes and its done. Once the cycle is complete I get a full report of all 150 links. With certain other software I noticed that you don't quite get the actual number of bookmarks they claim to provide. But that hasn't been my experience with Social Monkee. You really do get what you paid for. I had some complaints about the Premium membership level since I wasn't able to bookmark a url once it's been bookmarked once. but now you can after waiting a certain number of days. This is even better in a way because I don't come across as spammer when the backlinking is done "sensibly". And it's a true set and forget website based app which makes it even better. The only drawback in my opinion is that they still only allow us to submit up to 3 urls per day. Hopefully a future update will change that.

I am not affiliate with the product in any way Just wanted to give credit to where its owed.

[brightgravity]

what do all of you use bookmarking for? your money site of just the links you create?

[Dumkist]

I signed up for the premium and made one submission which has been sitting for 3 days now..no bookmarks created yet..what the hell is up with social monkee ??

[cooler1]

Did you select it to drip feed over 2 days when you made the submission?

At first I was confused where the reports are, then I saw that the link which contains the RSS feed of each report is right at the bottom of the page.

[PatriciaJ]

I was using Social Monkee and paid for the premium membership but they've changed it so that you have to spin before submission. I won't attempt to spin anything like that, because you cannot guarantee that the result is of decent quality.

So I won't be using it again, but I didn't notice any significant results when I did.
