How Effective is Social Bookmarking Software?

4 replies
Hey Everyone,


I'm trying to rank one of my websites in a pretty competitive keyword. I've been submitting to about 25 social networks manually. I tried OnlyWire but am having a lot of problems with it.

How effective is social bookmarking software compared to manually doing what I am now?

  • Providing it works (not using outdated account information, etc) it speeds up the process significantly. Instead of taking 3-4 hours to do it by hand, it takes 5 minutes.

    Trick is (a) finding software that works, and then when you do find it, making sure that it (b) still works down the road (simply because websites change captchas, formats, etc, etc).

    There are many people offering bookmarking services for peanuts. I would recommend spending your time on more important things and paying the few bucks to have someone else do this for you.

    I have same question. I really liked OW. But there are a lots of problems. Hiring someone to do the same will cost 10000 of $-s, not peanuts if you have more then dozen blogs.

    yeah. It got weird. I stopped messing with it months ago. It has a few
    cool things it does the the desktop submitter I use doesn't do, but last
    time I checked it had too many problems and hoops it tried to force
    users to jump through. I still put the button on some of my sites, but
    I've written-off using it for bookmarking

    Well, using software is definitely cheaper than outsourcing as long as the
    software is a one-time buy and not a monthly fee. Desktop software will tie-up
    a PC though, so you either need to find something else to do while you're
    running the app. or have another computer you can work on.

    Setting up a lot of Bookmarking accounts you might want to outsource,
    partially. The software above supports automatic account creation, but
    sites are fickle and hand-management sometimes needs to be done
    to get the accounts active and working correctly. Once the accounts
    are setup, lookout, because you can bookmark like a madman.

    Social Bookmarking your sites and blogs alone will get you weak results,
    but when you integrate bookmarking as a regular thing you do for a lot
    of your content, articles, press releases, videos and so forth, it adds
    the incremental juice to the mix - the muddy slurry upon which traffic
    empires are built.
