SocialMonkee.com Review

Thanks for the review, I was wondering whether to sign up for this service. Lots of options out there so I want to get feedback and reviews from WF members before I purchase services now.

i know, its an absolute joke, tried them about 3 months ago, many of the sites were deindexed then, i can imagine now

I signed up to SocialMonkee months ago and I tried submitting my links. Nope, didn't see any positive effect on my blogs.

I am not thrilled with socialmonkee however when I check my site's backlinks I do find many of them indexed, and my site is ranking on page one of google for about 5 different competitive keywords. Socialmonkee did not get me there (an article blasting service did) but the socialmonkee links do *seem* to add some juice.

Not sure if it's worth the upgrade but the free version is probably worth it. I have seen it recommended by some very good marketers who are making thousands a month with their sites.

UPDATE!
This was written 5 days before my sites TANKED with the Penguin update .

Was it SocialMonkee that caused it? I don't know for sure but from what I now know about Google hating spammy links, I'd say it def. played a part in my sites getting BANISHED by Google from p1 to like p30!

Also I have recently read other posts saying all of SocialMonkee's backlinking sites were de-indexed. I don't know if they have a new system in place now to deal with google's algorithms or not, but I am skeptical of using ANY automated link building.

Some SEO experts insist that using SEnuke and so on to blast links can still be beneficial - in fact my experience contacting severeal SEO service indicates they ALL do this. They say that these spammy backlinks to your TIER 2 sites are okay. I say "Okay, but how long before google punishes you for having Tier 2 sites that have hundreds or thousands of spammy links pointing at them?!"

Google is not stupid. They may be a-holes, but they're NOT stupid! So sooner or later (probably very soon!) ALL of these automated linking schemes are going to be de-indexed, and along with it will be your site(s) that you've linked using them.

Thanks for the heads-up. SM was recommended by an acquintance and after checking out the site I still wasn't sure about it.

Yeah I like others signed up a while ago and have been trying to use them religiously on an almost daily basis. I did get the one time upgrade and I can say I do see the links stick around for a while. But like others not sure if I can say an movement has occurred because of then. But I use SocialMonkee for getting my sites index etc as those links or sites get crawled A lot so it does help from that perspective.

Just analyse the links and you will see that Socialmonkee is basically a fake network they have set up. They don't use real sites such as Twitter, Google Plus, Delicious, Digg, Reddit, Stumbleupon, etc.

I recently received a Guide that advises the use of socialmonkee. Went to check it out today and the site is down.

SM is the same people who develop BLKingdom. w/c was full deindexed by google.

Damn! Wasted my money by upgrading to social monkee premium account

Absolutely worthless regardless of free or paid. Why would anyone want to keep throwing crap links towards your sites?

Thanks for your review, I know that upgrading in Social Monkee is completely waste of money.

It's not worth it. remodeler is right.

My experience with social monkee wasn't a great one! I used social monkee to build backlinks to my backlinks about 2 months ago to my niche site and it ended up in the dog on "Google sandbox" lol... It had to be social monkee because I was at the top of the 2nd page of Google before I used SM.

But since Google has been making changes to their Algorithm that particular is now out the sandbox...

Overall, I most likely will not use social monkee again...

Social Monkee allows us to spin the Title / Description, I guess. We can't rely on only SM to get into 1st page of Google, but I hope this will give some results to power up your link juice.

All I am interested is if Google will de-index these kind of sites too? Because, they have our links are bookmarked using different profile accounts, different IPs, and spin versions of the title/description to look it natural.

I have recently read other posts saying all of SocialMonkee's backlinking sites were de-indexed. Don't know if it's true so take that with a grain of salt. I don't know if they have a new system in place now to deal with google's algorithms or not, but I am skeptical of using ANY automated link building and I think you should be too.

Some SEO experts insist that using SEnuke, SocialMonkee and so many other automated linking software/schemes and so on to blast links can still be beneficial - in fact my experience contacting severeal SEO service indicates they ALL do this. They say that these spammy backlinks to your TIER 2 sites are okay.

I say "Okay, but how long before google punishes you for having Tier 2 sites that have hundreds or thousands of spammy links pointing at them?!"

Google is not stupid. They may be a-holes, but they're NOT stupid! So sooner or later (probably very soon!) ALL of these automated links from linking schemes are going to be de-indexed, and along with it will be your site(s) that you've linked using them.Okay maybe not de-indexed but taken out of the top 100 SERP.

Awesome reviews. I read your full sharing and understand what should we do?

Thanks for your review. I do not like to spend bucks on a product which I do not have control. We do not have any control where Social Monkee is creating the links for us. Moreover links on spam sites downgrade rank in the eye of search engine instead of bringing any true value.

SocialMonkee is basically for getting your site indexed and building a randomized link profile. You should not rely on this for top rankings, but to add to your link profile. Plus, you need to upgrade to get your links automatically indexed; then download your list of URLs and send them through a back-linking service. (Note: You can have all this done automatically inside SocialMonkee's Elite package.)

If you want a really good social bookmarking service, then try SocailADR. Remember, you have to pay for the Good Stuff.

i am about to spend 7 buck on that thing, thanks for this review!

How is SociSynd better/different than SocialMonkey?

it's recommended by many, but I agree with you... it's a bit crap!
Plus, it's not very user-friendly (that's on top of the dodgy links it provides, of course).
I would also NOT recommend using it.

Do you have experience with SocialAdr?

Thanks for posting the review. I'll stay away from them.

I purchased SocialMonkee, they made it sound I great, I even purchased the upgrade. Now after reading all the bad reviews I'm worried that I wasted my money and I have harmed my websites by using SM. They have been around a long time, so how do they continue to operate if they are a bad service?

Really? SocialMonkee was a con then, and is a con now. Far better to build your own high quality links rather than buy some cheap crappy links that add no value.

Writing a press release and submitting it to free press release directories would be a better option.

I depend to purchase SM, but read many reviews about this service. I don't want to purchase now. Is it right?
