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.

    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.

      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.

        Hey Tim,

        Did you check out the site? Come on, man...lighten up! It's obviously a joke.

        My favorite quote:

        "Click Monkeys!!â„¢ employs a state of the art line of site net access system. We own a light house near San Jose with the equivalent of five T-3 lines worth of bandwidth running to it. The light house is equipped with two dozen microwave transmitters that are pointed at the H.M.S. Click Monkey. The transmitters are kept on target using a GPS system that is centered exactly on the on board transmitter.Even if the Click Monkey were to drift by 3 miles from her stationary position in the roughest weather, our monkeys can still keep clicking on your site!"

        Sorry, man...would never dream of really ripping off advertisers like that...I just love this joke site that someone put up. The sad thing is that there are REAL sites that are like that as you've mentioned.

    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.

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

      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 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.

    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.

    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.

        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?

    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.

      I would second that. Social bookmarking links are not of a huge value for SERPS. Maybe you might see some improvement in a weak competition, but not if you go after anything serious. Social bookmarks can possibly be great for indexing.

    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!

      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.

    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

          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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

          I thought you always had to spin?

          You only need to spin at least 3 variations of the title, description, etc.. I thought spinning was used to increase the chances of the backlinks getting indexed.

          Why would spinning not gurantee the result is of a decent quality? I don't quite follow.

            No, when it first started it was 3 different titles and 3 different descriptions and they were swapped about with each other. Then they added the spinning but you could still do it the old way if you wanted. Now you can only send spinned titles and descriptions,

            As far as I'm aware spinning does not increase the chances of being indexed. Tales like that are told by those selling the software.

            As long as I'm awake turning does not add the risks of being indexed. Stories admire that are spoken by those vending the software.

            It's hard to get decent quality unless you entirely rework paragraphs as I've demonstrated above.

            It's difficult to say unless you only use it as your only form of link building. It doesn't make much difference to your ranking in the SERP's because social bookmarking sites don't hold much weight.

            I heard recently that SocialMonkee is changing to paid only membership and there will no longer be lifetime memberships. So I think you have to join on a yearly basis now.

            I do not think anyone is wise to rely on just one method of building links gaining traffic, we have seen history's ships sink when the iceberg ahead warning goes out and all aboard sink to their peril.

            What you do get with premium is the ability to post to 150 sites, you can get to choose to drip feed your submissions over 30 days, your links expire meaning you can re submit to the same URLs at a latter date if you wish, and probably a neat feature is the pre submit ? where you can preload your submissions, this way you can plan out a week or more ahead and instead of a daily gig, you really only need to set and forget once a week saving quite a few hours in time / money.

          Not sure if this is a change since your original post, but you can type your own spintax. They aren't auto-spinning for you and thereby potentially creating poor text. The quality of the text you submit is totally up to you.

          The only thing I can think of is you might have selected the schedule to drip feed over more than 2 days.

              I contacted support this morning as I didn't get my reports either. I just got the following reply:

              Thanks for contacting us.
              Some of our sites were down over the weekend so there is a short delay.
              Everything should be back on track within a day or two.

              Thanks for your patience.

              Hope this helps.

          its up to your niche and you how you use it.
          In past i was able to submit my description with more then 6000 characters , and results were there after just 14 days with best Spun description.
          But now they have turned it off and we are just able to play it with 400 characters. Do not know what they are thinking . Meanwhile right now i think, if you keen to see results with social monkee, you can submit the 400 character bookmarks for 3 days drip and with one title, to see a big Slap by google soon to your website. .

          Otherwise do a social bookmarks with long description and with best spun text, you can see the best results.

            I was wondering why the character limit is only 400 words. That only gives you enough room for about 3 descriptions.

            From what i've heard, spinning lots of times isn't necessary to get links indexed.

              They said, they will rise it soon to 800-1000 character, and still i think that it will not enough to cover 3 description.

              You are right that, spinning is not important to get links indexed.

              But as i heard is google loves new content + If you do social bookmarking with more then 1000-1200-1500 characters, it will be good for your each social bookmarks. And if we will use it with best spun text it will effect more as i think, and will increase the number of characters too.

              I will use the socialmonkee for some of other websites without spinning the text and will notice the results, but personally i do not think, it can help in ranking, but i think it can cause a penalty or slap.

                You have to spin the description at least 3 times minimum don't you?

                What sort of penalty do you think it can cause? Social bookmarking is white hat, so I don't think Google would penalize people for it. They don't have a rule that the same text can't appear elsewhere.

                  Thanks for your suggestion

                  I used to spin the description about 7 to 10 times.

                  Basically i use different variation of description with more then 1000 words, like

                  {You can now get the free bookmarking service at our side right now with best price also....|with cheap amount you can get the great bookmarking service today on our website....|3|4....}

                  So it makes the description too too long...

                  Any advice ?

                  What sort of penalty do you think it can cause?

                  Duplicate content - If we are getting 150 bookmarks almost duplicate or with in 400 character limits spin text, what ever in 30 days, i think it will disturb the ranking, and will not show the good results as it showed good results with long description.

                  They don't have a rule that the same text can't appear elsewhere.

                  Well this is new for me, so i will use it with social monkee, but not for my main sites, will try first on another websites. But still confuse 400 character limits spinable description will not hurt the site ranking!!! and will show the results as like past.

                    Untill they increase the 400 word count limit, you'll have to stick to using only 3 descriptions I think. No other way.

                    According to this article, it sounds like duplicate content gets indexed, but just doesn't rank well. So in the case of Social Monkee the aim is to get the links indexed, not to get the social bookmark pages ranking high in the SERPs, so duplicate content shouldn't be an issue.

    I started out with the free service. Then I upgraded to premium, followed by elite membership not long after. I scheduled 6 days of bookmarking (18 different urls). Reports are showing urls from sites I do not own and the number of links submitted were only 50 (not the 150 that I know I scheduled). After contacting support they removed the Urls from sites I did not own. Today I re-checked the reports and all of the bookmarks have disappeared. Still awaiting to hear from SocialMonkee support. Has anyone else had problems? Are their sites/network down?

    I started a new schedule on 10/12. As of today it still hasn't started the submissions. Obviously the service is down. No response from customer service either. Customer service was spot on, with a fast reply, with my initial problems. I still have a few days before my 60 days are up. Hopefully it is resolved soon. Otherwise, I'll be asking for a refund. Only found out about the service through Shane (he recommended in his backlink battleplan) at imimpact.com He's the only guru I trust these days.

      That is what's supposed to happen.

      If you want links to be created everyday, you need to submit them manually everyday. Submitting one URL only submits it to 25 sites once.

        You can only submit the same URL once. But you can submit inner pages of your site also.

    As i observed, its good service. I use it for my clients websites and for my other blogs to get rank and reputation for my site, although PR is not to good for the submission site but its still pretty good to get 300 links a day.

      So you think its a waste of time using it then? It seems that the latest panda update is placing importance on quality backlinks, so it seems social monkee maybe even less effective now.

        its not waste of time, there are some issues and bugs that should be fixed soon, like

        Currently server is down .

        Monday October 24.
        Total number of submission sites shown are 93 ( in my list i got 93 submitted bookmarks not 100, hope this is system failure or temporary issue )

        If these are private sites by socialmonkee, i am not sure, why those sites are open to register and submit bookmarks for every one to register and spam there...

        Sites are do follow that is good point, but you should consider the PR of sites, and after some months still there are no update in PR.... Team, should do some more hard work.

        To make more better service, it would be good if socialmonkee.com include some of Free high PR submissions to attract buyer, like some other service providers offers, ( SEnuke, MS, .imautomator, etc etc.. )

        Results are not bad with socialmonkee, i am using it for my different websites and getting good results and totally satisfied with the service and going to purchase Elite member ship, if server get up soon

        Again i will suggest "close registration for every one on private social websites, it will increase the value of your websites and PR soon".

          Good to hear your getting results with Social Monkee.

          How long does it take you to get a decent amount of the backlinks indexed?

          I submitted a URL about 3 weeks ago as a premium member, but only about 2 of the links are showing in backlink checkers. I pinged the RSS feed report.

          Do you create a FeedBurner feed out of the RSS feed report, like the video tutorial advises or isn't that necessary to get decent results?

            I did not use Rss submission + Pinging yet, results were good for me in last month, and i was going to purchase elite member ship account last night, but still server is down :S looking to it wake up soon.

            Just now i submitted my 3 URLs rss feed through rss.icerocket account and i know that results will be more good. ( I Personally submit Backlink after few days, and ping them also few days random ally to get some more good results and avoid any Slap )

            Other who want to have some idea

            one low competitive keyword went on 34th rank in google.com on 5th day of submission when mentioned 14 days drip, so it will be on TOP10 ( may be on TOP5) when it will be finished ( in 14 days ) with just socialmonkee bookmarks, ( I did nothing other then socialmonkee ), and i will have the option to do rss submission and pinging also to push more keyword in SERPs.

            Keywords total competition is as follow

            Total Results with "keyword"
            23,300 results
            intitle
            About 231,000 results
            inanchor
            About 466,000 results

            Another Clients website's keyword went on #6 with just social bookmarks

            Total Results with "keyword"
            About 720,000 results
            intitle
            About 1,870,000 results
            inanchor
            About 1,780,000 results (0.21 seconds)


            backlink checkers do not show all links, we have to estimate some thing by our self also. Every one has different opinion and experience.

            For another third website many keywords went on TOP1 ( low competitive ) with just of social bookmarking with socialmonkee, its an aged site, but to have some idea it's enough.

            I did submission with maximum number of variations of URL's title + Description + Tags, as its require and results were not bad for me in last 25 days.

            One more point that i got from there " I sold out 3 URLs one day submission for 20$ to provide 300 Do Follow Backlinks "

                    Then this message appears there

                    You haven't submitted anything yet. Click here to start submitting.

                    But if we go with

                    View Past 6 week Reports

                    and then we can easily

                    in front of each submitted URL.

                    This is also one bug in this service, that i am sure they will consider soon.

                            and they have removed the tab "Download report older...."

                            Now i am able to see reports for submitted URLS, yesterday URL submission report is not visible there, i hope it will be there with in next two days, otherwise i will upload one more ticket

                            Their Support is also supportive, they had and facing some issues regarding hosting, server etc ( My personnel opinion and observation ), but it is still good to have 100 sites Do Follow backlinks for URLs, and 150 if you are Elite member

                              I discovered Social Monkey on a couple of sites where it was highly recommended. So I gave it a try for the free submission. I was stopped dead in my tracks, when it came to submitting my blogs. I have no idea what spinning is. I tried to figure it out, but the titles of my 3 blogs I want to submit all have only 2 words in the title. No way I can get 3 different versions of 2 words. So I gave up and will look elsewhere for back links.:confused:

    I've been a member since its early days and an elite member now, but I'm disappointed in the lack of results.

    I have URL's in the que since the 10th of the month and nothing has passed through since. Support last week said there was a minor hiccup and things should be back to normal. Seems to be a big hiccup because several days later they are still sitting there.

    Now I can't even get the site to come up. Server error. So for my 2 paid upgrades to elite I am not too happy at the moment.

      yes, contacted them but my problem just same as zParker, considering for the refund now.

      Maybe the report only available once any url is fully submitted? Will check again after 3 day of my 3xdays drip feed set this morning.

    The service is completely disappointing now. No reply from support and it's been a week. Posts stacked up in the que from more than 2 weeks ago!

    Login in and all you constantly see is links pimping other affiliate products. Nothing completely wrong with that, but how about spending some of that time fixing your own service that some, including myself, have spent $100 on?

      Are u considered 4 refund? Late night over here now, tomorrow will give the last change and ask for refund if still not working. Elite member of 150 sites on social bookmarking should be able to gain with alternative way.

      Maybe somebody can share what is the best way for social bookmarking.

      There's a message that says they are currently doing maintainence for 5 days, so the service may improve soon.

      Maybe that is the reason why support aren't replying.

      Do you spin your description text plenty of times and also ping the RSS feed reports? I think this service is only as a compliment to other types of backlinking and isn't for ranking competitive keywords.

        I'm sorry, but I don't think you can call a 5 day outage a maintenance event. Is the "Internet Age" maintenance is something that is usually done in minutes, not hours. Being down for a day is a major outage and a 5 days of downtime is a long term outage that could be tantamount to going out of business.

      I've been using Social Monkee for several months. I quickly referred people to the site using my affiliate link, so now I have free access to the premium service. I think since it is free it is worth using occasionally, but the bookmarking sites mostly have a PR of 0, so I don't feel it has made much if any difference to my Google ranking.
      The site will become more useful when the bookmarking sites start becoming more popular and their PR increases.

    Now after all Social monkee service providers have disabled the long description section :S --- Currently we are able to submit description with just 400 characters that are very low - They said they will increase it to 800 to 1000 words limit, may it will 800-1000 characters, that is also not good but will be good rather then just 400 characters

    OK, I need to say this because it's SO important. If you look at your site, analyze your niche and put your thinking cap on, you can manually create backlinks that will get your site on Google's first page fairly easily. Looking for the shortcut only hampers your efforts in the long run. I only mean this if you are not trying to rank for keywords like "money" and "mortgage".

    Been using it for over 3 months now, many of the links do stick if you do the whole RSS ping/submit often. For the 'important' pages that I run SM to, I backlink (with SM) the social bookmark links generated as well, then do the same RSS/submit thing again and they do stick. Whether or not they have value is not as relevant I guess since they're low volume (150, I guess about 20% sticks).

    For the price, it's cheaper than paying for fiverr gigs constantly, but it is a chore.

      When the site is under maintenance it's generally because we're moving sites to more powerful, dedicated servers (fresh IPs, more uptime...). That's why it sometimes takes a few days, and we sometimes extend the maintenance mode by a few hours because there is a queue of submissions to be processed. However this is 'just' a matter of time, as all submissions are eventually processed.

      We increased it to 1,200, which should be enough for most people. There is a character limit because looong descriptions tend to go wrong, and in that case it's quite difficult for the sites to 'handle' the bookmarks.

      Also we recommend that you spin words instead of full descriptions. This way you can have highly spun descriptions, and be within the 1,200 characters limit. Imagine a 6,000 characters long description, like mentioned above, going wrong... The system won't really like it.

      Did someone get back to you? I personally respond to all unanswered tickets (generally within 24 hours) so if you did not receive a reply from us, it's probably because the ticket got lost in the system, or because you received the response in your spam box. Feel free to resubmit a ticket, or PM me.

      Hi Jeff,

      We're sorry you feel this way! The submission form was taken down for a few days, but everything is back on track now. Also remember that all memberships are lifetime memberships.

      That generally happens when a user forgets an opening or closing bracket. Make sure you also click the Preview button before clicking the Submit button. If the Preview feature itself doesn't work, then please re-check your title and description.

      Also you should avoid special characters like &, @, etc.

      We will soon add more verification systems and filters so it becomes almost impossible for your bookmarks to go wrong, along many other new features and improvements... Stay tuned!

    I just found out about social money a few days ago and I use the free service. You have to put in a different url every time you post if you use a free account. That would be my only con. If you put in the same url, if will not post. It is a great service, though.

        Yes that is true - Plus also don't think you run out of urls to submit. Every new post you make you can submit it, as you know... BUT, don't forget, every tier 1 backlink you make (say you link to your post from wordpress.com or webs.com or 110mb.com etc.) - then you take that link
        and add it in too This will give your tier 1 links more indexing, more authority and make the link to your site more powerful

    Social Monkee is a social bookmarking platform and is quite good for posting social bookmarks. As far as I know, they use their own sites to submit your links to, so they are different than most other social bookmarking sites.

    There is a free and paid version. If you do not have a lot of money, the free version is fine, but the paid is certainly a good purchase if you want to take it seriously.

    I use social monkee and it works pretty well. I only use the free service so I cannot speak on the the premium service. It makes you put in some spun text, titles and keywords and then it pings the sites. They also give you a txt file so you can check the links. All in all its a good free service but is best used on niche sites in my opinion.

    Alright, I'll do my best to put all of this to rest. I have a top level membership at Social Monkee. First I joined for free and could submit one site to 25 of their social bookmark sites each day. I thought it was very useful, so I upgraded to the Premium membership level (through referrals, get 12 referrals and you don't have to pay the $47).

    With the Premium level, you can submit three different URLs to 100 sites per day and you can stretch them to drip out over 7 days. When you upgrade, THAT is when you can actually see the RSS feed reports. It says all over that you can only see the reports when you have an upgraded account.

    I saw how much this was automating my backlinking, so I upgraded once more to their Eilite Membership for a one-time $57 fee. Yes, I know that they are relatively low quality links in the grand scheme of things, but they are created on autopilot! They are definitely worth something and any part of my business that I can automate is great.

    With the Elite Membership you can submit three different URLs to up to 150 sites each day. You can choose to submit to 25, 50, 75, 100 or 125 sites if you would rather. On top of that, you can schedule up to 45 submissions in advance. Plus, you can re-submit the same URL once every 6 weeks. With all other membership levels, you can only submit a URL once for life. Elite members can also stretch their link drip out to one month, so you can just drip a few links each day.

    As far as the impact on my sites?? It's tough to say because I spend a great part of everyday working on my SEO. But, I can tell you that it is a tool that I use almost everyday and my sites are doing very well.

    However, anyone that is saying that Socialmonkee links had a negative effect on their site is simply misinformed. I have used these links on nearly brand new sites without penalty.

    I love Social Monkee! It's quickly becoming my favorite SEO tool. No, not necessarily because of it's effectiveness, but mostly because of it's ease of use. It seriously puts my link-building on auto-pilot and I was happy to pay the upgrade fee.

    @Colin.

    As the reports have been lost for some submissions, does this mean that its advisable to delete those reports then resubmit the URL? Would this work properly.

    Because when clicking on the RSS feed link nothing appears so there is no way to ping the RSS feed.

      All new reports should be fine - the ones that were lost, if you had already pinged them then it will be fine, all links are still on the sites and pointing back... but you can resubmit all those links again if you choose, the system will let you do so.

        Some people on this forum have said recently that they've got a message on Webmaster tools saying they've been penalized for unnatural link building.

        Does this mean that services such as Social Monkee would be classed as unnatural linking or does it only apply if someones pays for backlinks? As Social Monkee also has a paid option, I guess that is classed as paid backlinks. Can you shed any light on this, thanks.

    Does anyone know how they publish the book marks? I have been using social ADR and what does make them good is that as a paid member, all the free members are natually posting your bookmarks to earn their free credits. This means it is 100% natural as it really is people across the globe submitting them from their own accounts.

    Downside with Social ADR is they are expensive. The $47 a month package still only lets you do 700 bookmarks per url. To get more, they charge further fee's on top of an already high ish montly fee.

    Was thinking of trying social monkee but am a bit concerned that it seems they do the bookmarks themselves, presumably via a few servers and different IP's but Google is not stupid and works this out and this may look far more suspicious to google than social ADR's more natural approach of users making the posts.

    Especially when your domains are new....

      It says on Social Monkee's site that all the links are on unique C class IPs and domains. Social bookmarking is a white hat link building strategy so I don't think Google has a problem with it plus the spinning of the titles and descriptions makes each bookmark more unique to increase the index rate.

    As I understand it, Colin Klinkert owns and operates SocialMonkee and BacklinkKingdom. BacklinkKingdom recently had all of it's sites deindexed.

        This is fact. I found the following message when I tried to submit a post on BK:

        As of April 12, 2012, we found out that over the last couple of days most of our sites have been de-indexed in Google. Don't worry about your backlinks, they will not penalize your pages but simply not pass on the link juice. We are currently evaluating the different options we have, and as a consequence the submission form is temporarily closed. This is a preventative measure and is not permanent. Please expect an email from us within the next few days. We're sincerely sorry for the inconvenience caused, and thank you for your patience and understanding.

      BacklinkKingdom is basically article submission site, and i have used for just two or three articles, after some research i found these article sites are useless as they don't hold any page rank and kind of spam.

      i am not sure whether they are deindexed but from my side it wasting time better go for manual with high PR Article sites

      what you say [protectmyzen]?

        what you say [protectmyzen]?
        I think you are correct. Its hard to say if these low PR links are helpful for now, but it clear to me that Google will show them less and less value as time goes on. In addition, due to the crackdown on paid link sites such as BMR, I cancelled the one paid subscription I had with Traffic Kaboom. While it was probably the best network around, for me the ROI was getting harder to justify because of the high cost, the increasingly difficult (necessary, but annoying) submission rules, and the fact that these kind of networks have become a target for Google. I stuck it out with BacklinksKingdom and SocialMonkee because they were free services, but now I am doing just what you said and focusing on high PR Article sites.

        Many of the recent "guru" webinars have been focusing on traffic over backlinks and that's kind of the direction I have chosen. That's funny, because I probably had the same light bulb go off, but chose to apply it to my sites instead of make a webinar. (I'd probably make more money with a webinar ) I have been writing up what I call "promo" articles for ever article I put on my sites. These articles focus on a hook in the broader niche, (based on very low competition keywords or recent news articles) to bring readers in. I give them a little info, then direct them to my site. I submit the article to a top AD or Web 2.0. Then I throw a few bookmarks at it. I'll spin the article and repeat the process on a few less picky sites once the first article is accepted to the AD and indexed in Google. This isn't necessarily a new idea, and that's not all I do, but it's the main change I made because of the recent moves by Google.

    that's the link to the site.

    Thank you very much! All input is much appreciated.
    This tool works for me, though i am still thinking for using paid service any reviews on this, will help me too.
