Best Social Bookmarking submitters? Opinions on Only wire?

30 replies
Hi there i joined only wire about 4 months ago and paid for the service rather than take the free option. However I have spent the last 4 months writing back and forth because it is unclear how to use their product.

The problems I experienced were rubbish customer service. half the time they don't even respond and when they do its 2 weeks later and a badly written message. The main problem was that it says that you have submitted to all these sites (about 40% said submit success) but when I checked on the individual sites there was nothing there? The remaining 60% come up as failed to submit - thats a pretty poor rate!

They don't explain that you need to go to each site in the first place to open an account (I thought my bookmarks were getting submitted for ages) even though they have a multiple account and password creator which I thought opened all the accounts for you!

1) Anyway I am starting to believe that the whole system with only wire doesn't even work? Has anyone else had the same experiences? Does anyone know if it actually works?

2) Also what do people find are the best social bookmarking submitters?

      I am biased too.

      I've just started using SocialBot and I am very happy with it.

      It's a great value at twice the regular price. The coupon code John gave you just sweetens the deal.

      All The Very Best,


      Tony

      After reading a number of posts... RE: social bookmarking, Social Demon, SocialBot, etc... I went ahead and bought SocialBot at $12.95... and look forward to its future development.

      With appreciation,
      Alan

      In a nutshell, you enter a domain, SocialBot V4.0 spiders it and builds a list of web pages to bookmark and then it submits them to the Social Networking services you've got accounts with. At the present time, we support 54 of the most popular Social Bookmarking Services as well as unlimited Scuttle sites. Allows you to create separate Profiles to submit to alternate accounts on the Social Bookmarking services! Upgrades are free for life. source

      John,
      I read through the info on SocialBot, could you clear up on point for me please? What exactly does "Semi-Automatic Account Creation" mean?

      Thanks,
      Allan

        Semi automatic means you will need to do some of the work yourself like set up the initial accounts yourself but even that is semiautomatic.

        Social bot rocks it is very reasonable ... actually a steal with a code and if you know how to use a proxy service such as TOR it is amazing what it will do but I already gave enough info away ... did'nt I!

          I got Social Bot a couple of weeks ago, and after doing my first submission I wondered why on earth I used to waste so much time doing it manually A fantastic program at a great price

    I use it, but i would never have bought it, only use the free version, I also have socialbot and bookmarking daemon, I like them both
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[1093427].message }}
  • I've used the free version of onlywire for sometime...you just have to have it placed on one of your sites to use the service. Seems to work for me but I will agree that on some of the sites I have setup the submission is not accepted occassionaly. Not sure if this is a problem with the sites or the onlywire service but it happens on the same sites over and over.

    Can't say it brings alot of traffic but I always include it in my overall SEO plan for each new site. For the price (FREE) I don't care as much

    submitting by hand is working out the best for me, it's a time consuming pain in the a**
    but it's working for me.

    I did buy socialbot, never got past the 'spider your entire site' but now tell it what you
    do NOT want spidered. I'll use it eventually.

    Socialposter and socialmarker it seems are having problems with the frames, I'm begining to think the social bookmarking sites that do not want their site overrun by those that
    do seo are adding "break out of the frame" scripts to defeat the automated services.

    did you know to tie keyword phrases together you need a + sign for technorati, an underscore for propeller... friend someone on propeller or contact them and you'll quickly loose your account. Some SB sites encourage (or even insist) "karma" or "mutual cooperation" others will cut you loose at the slightest hint of SEO

    I too have seen links I know I posted, not visible when viewed from my interns computers. Wanna see what the rest of the world sees? look from a computer that you've never logged on to!

      Yes, you submit your homepage and inner pages. I submit a couple of pages of a site every day until I've finished. At the moment I believe there are 88 SB sites included

    Socialbot sounds great. I used OnlyWire to automatically submit my WP posts to a bunch of social networking sites, but this one sounds great too for SEO clients.

      I've been using OnlyWire for about a year now (the paid version) and have had no problems with it. I have around 15 social bookmarking sites configured and submit my blog posts to all of them at the same time. I usually get one or two that fail for one reason or another. The Firefox plugin is very handy to use as well and makes it faster to submit to sites.

    I have Socialbot and Bookmarking Demon and I'm about to start using Only Wire on my wordpress pages. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is creating all the accounts. But I will still bookmark the home page with Socialbot or Bookmarking Demon. -Beau Waddington

    I really appreciate everything that SocialBot has given me, it's made by some guy named Big Mike and pretty much anything by him seems to be reliable. (especially rssbot lol)

    I submitted my website to socialbot and the website was indexed in less than a few hours right after I made it.

    Hope I helped

    Bookmarking Demon is considered the ultimate bookmarking tool... Just about to fire it up as it goes.

    Using the paid version of OnlyWire - which is supposed to be mac/safari compatible - along with the new WP plugin. But it's not really automated from your WP blog - you still have to hit the extra little 'submitter' button on your mac toolbar - annoying by itself but what is really weird is that the submitter disappears and has to be reinstalled every time I turn the computer on.

    Once submitted I get a could ratio of success but too many other issues to make it a winner for me.

      Can anyone tell me if Socialbot works differently from ping.fm? I use that ....got someone on fiveer to set me up accounts to 30 social networks and connect with ping.fm

      No real instructions with it so I'm not sure if I am using it correctly

    Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I would like to know if there are any WordPress plugins that submit your social bookmarks like the OnlyWire plugin. Any free ones or one time paid solutions? What's your experience?

    I have SocialBot and have to say I am NOT a fan. I found it to be kinda 'klunky'. A big chunk of the listed services are no longer in business and initial set up is a pain. I finally gave up in frustration and went back to manual (and outsourced) submissions.

    Sorry, about the negative view. Perhaps I'm missing something but I just don't understand why so many people find that tool so useful.

    My 2 cents for you, but onlywire is the only one offering their type of submission service, I've checked and nothing else is available. Watch out for their pay service options as there is additional charges in place if you pick the smaller pay plan and then go over your submissions. It's like giving them a blank check and I don't like that feeling at all.
