    I have tried to sign up to test it out but it keeps saying I already have an account. I have tried 3 different email addresses. I had never even heard about this site until earlier today. Even though I can't register I would also like to hear what people say about it.

      I was interested in them as well, given that they're freee and don't look to require a significant time investment. From what I can gather though, SocialMonkee works primarily with backlinks from forum profiles. While they probably won't hurt, in light of Google's latest announcement it's probably going to not give any where near the gains in the future that we've come to expect from such links.

      I have had the same problem. I sent a couple of emails to support. Also, I just left a message on their blog and noticed that the moderator deleted it.

      Sounds great and would love to be able to try it out...

      Hi Janice,

      We allow 1 account per IP Address, did you signup with an account in the last couple of days? If so that would explain the error.

      The links come from social bookmarking sites that we own and control, not forums. We purchased 100 domains and installed 100 social bookmarking sites on 1 unique ips, all c-class unique, most of them at the moment are even A and B class unique on servers around the world!

      We also make all links submitted 'do-follow' backlinks - It is also very fast and Free

      BTW - This is BRAND NEW, I just sent 1 email about it last week, so we are still improving it as much as we can, so if you have ANY feedback or suggestions at all, please write them here and I will see what I can do

      Thanks

          Hi Steve,

          Looking forward to have you as an upgraded member. RSS feeds are like an online 'newsletter' that allows you to view all posts through a reader, and choose the ones you want to read.

          It is also a way for content to get indexed and found by the search engines, as it has all the links to those contents. When you ping your RSS feed to sites, those sites often publish you feed, and the search engines then are able to find it faster (or at all).

          So it takes 30 seconds to ping each project to a couple of sites, there is a video in the premium section showing how. This will help with getting your backlinks indexed. When they are indexed, they count and help you to rank.

          Here are two posts I wrote a few years ago that could help
          RSS Feeds, How To Setup and Use...
          &
          What Is RSS Feed?

          Thanks!

          Can I do this: I submit 6 URLs, but each is only submited to 50 social mark sites? Or I submit 12 URLs but each is only submited to 25 social mark sites? Because I mainly want to use this tool to get my articles and web2.0 properties indexed, and I have lots of them.


          2) How fast is this tool? For example, how many minutes does it take to finish submiting to 100 social mark sites for ONE url?

          Thanks
          1) No you can only submit to 100, but you can drip feed those over up to 14 days But why not come submit the next links the next day

          2) Very fast for you, as we arrange the posting for you, so you just queue it up and we do the rest. Once it is all posted, you will get a report on your 'reports' page

          Thanks for your interest, hope you love it!

            I'm not 100% sure of what you mean but if you're asking how you get refer other people yes you can share your affiliate link with your colleagues and friends, and/or sign up to the list builders we recommend on the 'Promo Tools' page.

            I hope this helps!

    Hi Colin,

    Just signed up and gave it a try. Simple and easy to do.
    I do believe you may have something here.

    I did have one concern after trying it and then I noticed the question
    had been asked on your site, but not answered yet.

    So I thought I'd ask over here.

    If I want to use a url to other pages on my site, it appears that your
    program does not allow dashes/hyphens.

    At least it wouldn't accept it in the title.

    Will it allow hyphens in the url's?

    cheers,
    Jerry

        Thats true, but most of these domains were only registered in January In any event, the statement holds true about who cares what PR the main page of the site has, as long as it gets your backlink indexed

          I didn't realize there was a Social Monkee thread on WF until stumbling across it today.

          SM was recommended in a WSO I purchased a few weeks ago. It was recommended as a way to help get new blogs indexed quickly.

          I have taken advantage of the free version to help with 4 new blogs. I think it definitely did help. I only used it for my base URL, though. I should probably submit my individual post pages as well, I guess.

          I will probably upgrade to premium. I do think it's that good. However, I have a question about the RSS feed(s) you can get with premium. I am not sure how or why to use these. After all, each of my blogs has its own RSS feed already, which I can submit to the ping sites if I wish.

          Although I understand a lot about Internet marketing, some things remain hazy to me. RSS feeds -- and what they're good for -- is one of those things!

          Anyway, I do think Social Monkee is a cool tool and its creators are to be congratulated.

    On the site I saw someone mentioned that they tried to enter the same URL on different days and it said this was not permitted. Just wondering if there is a way for SocialMonkee to keep submitting the same URL (25/day) until it is on all the social sites you have? Or if it would recognize the URL and just submit to the social sites it didn't in previous submissions?

    Hope that question wasn't confusing....

    Hi Sarah,

    No, right now you can't submit the exact same URL more than once. However you can submit different URLs from the same domain. For example you can submit warriorforum.com only once, but you can then submit warriorforum.com/home (once), warriorforum.com/products (once), warriorforum.com/blog (once), etc.

    The only way to make sure a URL is submitted to the 100 sites is to upgrade to the Premium level, and submit the URL. Remember that you don't necessarily have to pay the one-time fee to get your account upgraded. Yoy can get a FREE Premium upgrade by referring 12 people to SocialMonkee.

    If you already submitted the main URL you want to promote to 25 sites (with a Free account), I'm pretty sure you can find a way to tweak that URL and submit to 100 sites again (with a Premium account): ...com/ ...com/home.php ...com/home.htm etc.

    I hope this helps! If not feel free to send me a PM.

    We could allow the same url to be submitted more than once, but then people would submit them every day, so the same url's 300 times in a year.

    The search engines will see this as spam and block our sites, then everyone loses. The idea here is to get inbound, do follow links to help your traffic ranking. (Help Make your sites rank for the terms you want)

    So once you have the inbound link, if you are premium, you get an RSS feed and a video showing how to let the search engines know about, and index those backlinks.

    Getting 2nd, 3rd etc. links from the same domains on the same ips carry very little weight compared to the 1st one. So once you have the link and it is indexed, you dont need to get another one from those sites Hope this helps and thanks for the support...

    Any improvement Ideas please let us know, we are keen to make this awesome for everyone!

      Sounds great but the key here does your site get index or not depends also on heaps of other factor right? Even when submitted.

        Yes, the domains are indexed and there are many pages indexed, but the search engines need to index the pages that are created when you run the software. Running the software will create new pages for you. These then need to get picked up by the search engines.

        Often they will get picked up over a few weeks naturally because they are linked to on the homepage of the site.

        As a premium member we give you the direct links and we also give you an RSS for your project that you can then ping to let the Search Engines know about them - This will speed up the process

    I just heard about this today, so please allow me to make sure I understand everything.

    There are 100 domains, and each page can get one backlink on each domain. So to get value in this you need to have a lot of pages. If you have 3 mini sites with just one page then you would use up the value on the first day, right? (I know a person needs to keep creating pages, but I just used that example to make sure I understand it right.)

    To get the real value you need to have the report so that you can ping the RSS reports. If you only have the free 25 daily links the search engines may or may not see them. Right?

    Someone above mentioned above that this is something that Google won't like. What are the odds that using this service would have the opposite effect and actually have us get slapped by Google?

    Thanks!

      Hi John, in point 1, you are correct. If we allowed the same sites multiple times the SERPS will block our sites as spam.... So it is 1 at a time

      Your 2nd point, we might make reports open to free members in future (But not RSS though) - having said that, I feel the search engines will eventually find and index as we list new listings on the homepages of sites. Might take a few weeks though, but still a free membership provides lots of value.

      Your 3rd point, someone PM'd me about that comment. It is not true at all, or else why not get link farms and spam sites to link to your competitors to get them off the serps?

      They might penalize links YOU link to from your money/main site, but will NOT penalize your site for getting inbound links from other sources

    Hi Colin

    You said:
    "...The links come from social bookmarking sites that we own and control, not forums. We purchased 100 domains and installed 100 social bookmarking sites on 1 unique ips, all c-class unique, most of them at the moment are even A and B class unique on servers around the world!

    We also make all links submitted 'do-follow' backlinks - It is also very fast and Free..."

    So these social bookmarking sites that you own are things like "Colin's social bookmarking site #1" and "Colin's social bookmarking site #2"not a twitter account, correct?

      Hi Almanack,

      Yes, all 100 sites are on unique C-Class IP addresses and domains. There are no Twitter accounts, Digg accounts... All sites are the property of Colin.

      If you join SocialMonkee make sure you download and read the user guide (PDF). There's a link to it on the dashboard inside the members area.

      I've been using it for a couple of days I love the concept and it is super easy to use.

      It's certainly worth getting an upgrade I'm at 7 referrals just a few to go, so I've be promoting it by blog post, twitter, etc

      Looking forward to seeing some results

    Great! I wanted a bit more info to see if this was legit, come on over to Warrior do a search and bam! I find this thread. Very much considering premium membership as I love the simplicity. My only concern is does this actually help with ranking and/or does it hinder it in any way. It appears you guys have captured the issue of duplicate submissions....but what if a duplicate link comes in from multiple sources, would that work kind of like twitter or digg by counting how many times its been bookmarked?
    Thanks!

      We launched in beta 15 days ago, so its still very new, I can tell you links I have submitted have got backlinks from many of the sites. My programmer did some testing with his domain too and Yahoo shows the backlinks to his sites

      JeromyS - IF someone else bookmarks it will add another count, like with Digg. It can't hinder your ranking, it can only help

          Thanks!
          Hi Joe, Thanks for the review - The descriptions and keywords are too short to auto spin, but if you fill all the boxes, it will manual spin, with 9 combos, it gives a fair bit of uniqueness.

          We will keep looking for ways to make it even better though

    Could I then submit url's to article directories that I have articles posted on?

        I've been hearing alot about this program recently. Is this service traditionally better than social bookmarking? I asked because the only thing I know about social bookmarking is that it does help increase search engine rankings and all that good stuff, and wasn't sure if this program in fact does more than regular social bookmarking. So, what's your take on it my friend?

              I love the concept, which is why I upgraded, but I simply can not get the data inputted and submitted without running into little glitches .. primarily due to my thick old skull, no doubt .. but SM isn't help me figure things out much.

              I've sent you a PM.

              Please help.

              Thanks,
              Richard

                    Hi Steven,

                    No its up and running well Alexa 3.6k now!

                    I am the owner, so im biased, but where can you pay a low one time fee and get to submit urls every day (3 times in fact) to 100 do follow sites, and get full link reports and RSS to ensure higher indexing?

                    I think its awesome value for money, and I know that because I spent around $30k building it and in ongoing costs etc. to maintain it. That is with a good programmer on staff who works at cost

    I had to contact support because I did not get confirmation e-mail, reply in less than 2 hours. Then due to dumb user problem I had to contact them again, reply in less than 1 hour. If the links work half as well as their support team we have a winner here.

      Hi Colin

      love the system... thinking of upgrading today

      Mate: Does the system create 1 account in each bookmarking account with the "same" type of username?

      I'm asking thinking of leaving the same footprint...

    Hey Colin, I currently have 10 referrals, what I would like to know is when I upgrade, will I be able to resubmit sites that I submitted with the free account?

    In other words, will I have the ability to add the additional 75 backlinks I missed out on with the free membership? If not, that sure would be a great feature.

    This site uses only websites owned by Colin. Most all of them being PR0. They have the worst hosting imaginable as whenever I try to submit my sites using my Premium accounts, the site usually times out and goes down for a few minutes or more... sometimes I don't even get a report for submissions I KNOW happened.

    I don't think Colin & Julien should even OFFER the premium membership until they sort out their hosting issues, add some decent bookmarking sites, and treat this like a real business.

    My Rating: 4/10

    I gave it a 4 because hey, you are getting backlinks (when the site actually works), they just aren't worth much. Definitely not worth the money to upgrade at this point.

      Thanks for the feedback, it is stuff we are working on. Let me reply though:

      1) The hosting is on iweb, it is a $400 a month power server with 8 cores, 12 gig ram and 20TB a month badnwith. In other words it is a TOP of the line dedicated server, and this is the ONLY site currently running on it! Database issues you experience happen in peek usa times as there can only be so many connections to a database as one time, so with over 13,000 members in 30 days of launch on a plugin that is database intensive it is not always possible to prevent the odd time outs in busy periods.

      2) some of the sites have PR, but what does that help at all anyway? Imagine a PR 6 bookmarking site, it makes a new page anyway when you sbumit, so your page is STILL pr0 right? A backlink is a backlink, as long as you get them indexed.

      & As a premium member you get the reports AND RSS feeds so you can get them indexed. I know bookmarking services that charge $10 to get you 100 social bookmarks, each time. On SocialMonkee you can submit 3 a day to 100! So that is a $30 value, every single day for a 1 time payment of only $47, so in 4 submissions it is covered. (Or you can even get it by referring members free)

      3) regarding treating it like a real business A) - We have worked very hard on this and continue to do so! Much more than we SHOULD be. You think a 'real' business as you coin, can survive on and run on the odd $47 one time payment?

      Sorry if the above reply seemed a bit harsh or aggressive, but I strongly feel you fail to see the value that you get for a $47 purchase (Or promo email to your list) and how much it would cost to set something like this up.

      If you want a refund, please open a ticket and I will gladly return your $47 and downgrade your account. Thank you for giving it a try though

    I have signed up as a free member, and am considering paying to sign up as a premium member. My only doubt is this: it's a resource which can only be finite. Even with an authority site I have which has I think 120 pages, once I've submitted each of those 120 pages, I can never use Social Monkee for that site again, unless I write a new page. Now, 100 links X 120 pages = 12,000 inbound links which is very good value for $47.00 ... plus I can use it on other sites, right?

    But my basic point is correct, is it not? There will come a time with every site where you cannot use Social Monkee on it any more?

    Also, the 3x a day - can that all be at the same time, or would we have to remember to come back three times?

    Thanks in advance for replying to this, Colin.


    EDITED TO ADD: I've used it twice now, and each time I've logged in, written the text/description etc, and then hit submit - and each time I had to re-log in . Now I probably had it open a bit long before I used it - but the timeout seems very draconian on it. Now that I know this I'll work around it - this is just feedback.

      Hi, thanks for the comment and questions. Yes, each unique url can only be submitted once, but don't only think about submitting the pages on your site. You can use this to backlink boost your other backlinks. In other words, if you have an ezinearticle or another blog post or any other page or site that has a link back to your site, you can run that one through the system to get it some authority and make that backlink more valueble

      And for the 3 times a day, they can all be at once if you like. A planned feature in the works is 'drip feeding' which will allow you to 'schedule' that the posts go out and get made over a few days.

    This service looks like it would be really helpful. However, I don't think that bugs are worked out yet.
    I registered for the service but received no email confirmation. I then opened a support ticket. When I tried to check in on the status, I was unable to get into the support area. Probably because I never got the confirmation email confirmed.
    Hopefully Colin will work this out so that no one else runs into this.

    Currently I'm looking for a possibility to get social boomarks for my different domains and inner pages on different dofollow social bookmarking sites. This is the reason why I heard and read about Social Monkee. After reading all posts in this thread I jumped in and upgraded directly to Premium Account for the one-time fee of $47. I don't like monthly payments so much.

    After reading through the User-Guide in the Members Area and installing the Firefox Plugin I start to submit my first URL - a main page of a new money site round about 3 hours ago. Everything was really easy and I got the chance to input 3 different KWs with 3 different descriptions which have to be a minimum of 160 characters. Thumbs up for this and the longer description I have to input - it's more work ok... But I think it's worth it.

    Some minutes ago I checked everything in Scrapebox because I directly got a report with 82 backlinks and a rss-feed for my first url submission. My results were that most of the domains are PR0 - some PR1 and 2 were PR2. This is OK but I would like to see some aged domains with decent PR in the future if possible.

    Then I checked if my backlinks are already indexed. I didn't expect anything but I saw that 1 backlink is already indexed in Google and 48!!!!! are already indexed in Yahoo. The best of it I did really nothing extra like pinging, rss submission or whatever.

    So, all in all I would recommend Social Monkee. It's still in Beta and New but it has real potentail. For $47 one-time in the premium account it's a steal.

    Some adjustments should be done to improve the overall features for this service but I will continue using it.

    Thumps up!

      Thanks for the great feedback, each new page made would be a PR 0 anyway in all sites on the internet, plus not sure how much the search engines put on PR anymore.... BUT - yes it is in the plan to add more sites and with PR. We also promote our domains and over time will continue to drive links to them, meaning age and authority.

      Great to hear you are getting them indexed so fast, a little bit of backlink building to your backlinks would ensure even better results.

    I've learned an important lesson this morning, and I hope it can help others as well.

    Don't write your descriptions directly into the SocialMonkee page. Write it on Notepad, and then copy & paste it.

    The SocialMonkee server keeps crashing this morning. I have had it crash twice now. The first time I lost all of my descriptions, and I had to write them over again. The second time I copied them. I'm running again right now, but I didn't have to write the text again.

    I hope the server problem gets sorted out.

    I have been using Social Monkee for a couple of weeks. On one site, SM was all I did for off-page seo other than posting to a 2.0 blog.

    I submitted my site (25 links as a free member) then each day a different page for 3 days. Then I submitted the 2.0 blog url.

    My main url and the 2.0 blog are on first page, first 2 items and have been there for 4 days.

    This is for a long-tail term in a high-dollar arena.

    I am happy with it.

    Hi John,

    Thanks for your interest! With ViralBookmarking you bookmark other people's projects (using sites like Digg, Reddit, Mister Wong, etc. including some of our own social bookmarking sites), while with SocialMonkee all you have to do is to submit the pages you want to build links to.

    Only 25 social bookmarking sites are part of both systems. There are about 30 in the ViralBookmarking system (including sites like Digg, Reddit, Mister Wong, etc.) and 100 in the SocialMonkee system.

    Hi Macky,

    Was the comment published, and then deleted or just not published? Anyhow, for general and technical support it's always better to submit a ticket here.

    As previously mentioned, we only allow one account per IP address. If the system doesn't accept you, it means that you (or somebody else) already signed up from that IP address. We can check that for you of course, but make sure you send us some details, including the email address you're trying to sign up with.

    I have been using Social Monkee for about three weeks now. Had only one issue with accessing the database. Overall, it's been a good experience.

    This tool gives you the ability to quickly and easily create 25 solid, long-term backlinks for free. It's a no-brainer. Plus, you can do as I did, use the free version until you have enough referrals to get access to the premium level.

    All too often, I see marketers obsessing over PageRank; if you are guilty of this, you are wasting your time and energy. Study Google a little more and get a better understanding of what is going on with regards to linking, ranking and determination.

    The pages on which your links appear may be low PR but they are links that appear on unassociated, aged domains. By default, the pages will continue to grow in popularity.

    At a cost of free, marketers should be all over this.

    Just my 2 cents...

      Thanks for the awesome post, I agree 100%. We also are continuing to add more sites as we get time (Takes a bit to get unqiue c class ips, find good, aged domains, and setup and promote them)

      We want to add another 10 sites in the coming weeks and then continue to grow from there.

      Well, at the moment it gets more backlinks, so I would say yes. They are different though, ViralBookmarking links might have more authority. But at the end of the day, the goal is to get your backlinks indexed, whatever the source.

      Hi Norman, we started a service without a commission affiliate program, and with no launch, just a few list builder emails to shared lists, not to our personal sites and we didn't get any Jv partners to promote.

      We launched on a fully dedicated 8 core, top of the line server, costing a big chunk each month because we knew the value was there in SocialMonkee, we knew that people would love it.

      BUT - we didn't know it would be this crazy. Over 25,000 people have signed up and it is an Alexa 3k website now in only 2 months. The database in 1 table alone for reports has over 280,000 entries and the whole database which is 100% plain text entries is over 500MB in size.

      We have now taken the site offline for 6-12 hours to recode the database and the script to deal with the load and massive growth. I can understand you are annoyed, but please relax, you have paid for a LIFETIME account and we will be back tomorrow running well again. Please give us a chance and don't get fed up, things happen that are out of our control. Thanks for the support.

      Welcome and thanks for the support - Well, once you get the RSS you want to ping it on the ping sites we give you. Do it 1 time only to each ping site. Next, if you want, you can drive links to those pages, (the 100 urls you get) or you can drive a few links to your RSS feed, so the search engines find it and find the links. This will lead to indexing

      Hope this suggestion Helps

      Pinging is a good start and often enough, but to make sure you could always submit it to directories etc.

      We have JUST NOW added a brand new spinner, which allows you to spin words too. This means you can make your backlinks 100% unique, allowing much better indexing potential with the search engines

        Colin -

        1) Should pinging - once or several times .. that's still not clear to me - be sufficient?

        2) Could I use something like BackLink Energizer (another WF WSO, I think) to help assure the BLs getting indexed .. and indexed sooner than later? (Just not sure whether Social Monkee and and BackLink Energizer would be compatible or advisable together .. not really knowing how either works.)

        3) If Google were to notice my sites (each & every URL, across all of my sites) getting exactly 25 BLs per day, I assume I'd getted slapped or whatever.

        But I am also assuming that not every BL I get thru SM would get indexed and/or wouldn't get indexed at the same time .. so there shouldn't be a detectable pattern (like exactly 25 BLs/day) .. right?

        4) In one of your earlier replies to this thread, didn't you mention something about a Viral Bookmarking program? Is that something you guys are marketing, and if so, what's the link to the WSO? Do you offer any other WSOs that would help with BLs and/or ranking .. quasi-automatically ... and relatively inexpensively? ? And

        5) BTW, does it matter how new and unestablished (no rank, no BLS, etc) my site is if/when I use SM, VBM or similar methods?

        6) Can you say a few words (or if this has already been addressed in this "longish" thread, just reference the post #) about how relevant BLs need to be, if at all, to help you - and what types of categories your BLs .. or the blogs they come form .. might be? (Like ... Health & Fitness, Home & Garden, Work at Home, etc)?

        Thanks,
        Richard


        PS I'm PMing you a question about my particular sub-niche - hope you don't mind.

    Hi Richard,

    Let the Monkee have a crack at answering the questions

    1) Yes, 1 time per project is fine. You don't want to overping. If you have a directory of lots of RSS Agregators, then you can send it to those as well.

    2) Yes - you can use it with BackLink Energizer, driving links to your RSS feeds and your backlink urls can only help

    3) Or Whatever - Google won't sandbox you, but the search engines also wont find and index all the links at one time.

    4) Yes we have a site called viralbookmarking, the WSO link is in my sig file below... We are still in prelaunch with that site and want to make it much more awesome and powerful before full launch. WSO prices are very cheap

    5) No, I don't think it matters, you want to use other link building methods too, but I submit new blog posts etc. to SocialMonkee

    6) We have domain names in all different niches, but these are not niche sites, these are socialbookmarking sites that link to 'interesting' content on the net, and is user generated. So In this instance, you can choose the category and that provides relevance. Part of a balanced link building strategy would include getting relevant backlinks from related sites and blogs etc.

    Hope that helps

      Colin -

      Thanks for answering all of my questions so quickly.

      A few follow-up questions:

      1) So there's not only no reason to worry about a pattern of getting exactly 25 BLs/per day, there's no real need for a "drip" feature either, right?

      2) I looked at your Viral BookMarking WSO and it looks good .. and like it's "ready to go". But were you implying, in your reply (above), that it's not quite ready for Prime Time and that we should wait (how long, roughly)?

      3) I sent you a PM, which you more or less answered (above) ... but would you mind taking a look at my PM and letting me know if, given my (sub-) niche you think that there'd be some (more or less) relevant blog categories/BLs for it?

      Thanks again,
      Richard

    Richard,

    I replied to you before, but now it is not showing

    1) Drip feed is helpful when it is more than 25 links, like 100. We have a drip feed for premium members, can drip over 2 weeks!

    2) The WSO price will not be this low when we do launch, the programmer will get to it asap, but could be a couple of months to be honest. However there are members and staff bookmarking each day

    3) As these are social bookmarks, just pick the posting category that is close to your niche and you will be all good! Thanks

      Colin -

      Thanks for your replies!

      Just to clarify an earlier question I asked about whether this type of thing would be good for brand new blogs (with no BLs & possibly not even indexed yet by Google): I read somewhere ... possibly in a WSO (maybe by Daniel Tan (sp?)) .. that it's best not to try to "force" the indexing of your site, but rather to let Google "discover" it "naturally".

      I'm not exactly sure what that means, or whether I'm paraphrasing what he said all that well .. but it was something to that effect.

      Do you agree with what (I think) he said, and would "pinging" SMs BLs .. and/or using something like Backlink Booster (which you thought should work OK with SM) .. be "forcing" things (like the indexing of my site) .. or am I totally off-base with my concern ... or confusion :confused:?

      Thanks again,
      Richard

        750 free backlinks a month is not to be sneezed at.

        Submitting them by hand would take about an hour a day.

        You guys have seriously over-delivered.

        And for those of you who are worried about a 'Google slap' for using such a service or concerned about link velocity etc, be assured that there is absolutely no way you would get penalised for using this service. It's all pros and no cons!
        Awesome! Thanks very much for the support

        Hi - I have run a few campaigns, and pinged etc. and I have a fair few backlinks from the sites...

        Some of the sites have over 6,000 pages indexed, so people are getting indexing... How much do you spin your content?

        Here is a VITAL Point = You MUST spin your content as much as possible (and still have it make sense of course). So take a nice 50 word or so paragraph and spin as many words and sentences as you can, then drip feed it out over 7-10 days. Once the report comes back, submit the RSS to the ping sites etc. Even if you drive a couple of backlinks to the RSS feed url.

        Unique content, plus pinging will ensure that a good % of links get indexed. Thanks

      cheers
      Hi Jerry,

      it won't allow you to, even if you delete your reports. The reason for this is so that it doesn't look spammy. You should never run out of sites to submit thought because you can submit all your backlinks too, to ensure they get indexed, and get/pass on extra authority to your main site

      Thanks

        Social Monkee Dudes,

        After reading all the (frankly uncalled for) bashing you guys are taking here I would like to say that I think that you've done an awesome job with Social Monkee.

        750 free backlinks a month is not to be sneezed at.

        Submitting them by hand would take about an hour a day.

        You guys have seriously over-delivered.

        And for those of you who are worried about a 'Google slap' for using such a service or concerned about link velocity etc, be assured that there is absolutely no way you would get penalised for using this service. It's all pros and no cons!

    I am interested in this tool but I have two questions.

    1) For premium memeber, we can submit 3 URLs everyday and each is submited to 100 social mark sites. So that's 300 backlinks in total.

    Can I do this: I submit 6 URLs, but each is only submited to 50 social mark sites? Or I submit 12 URLs but each is only submited to 25 social mark sites? Because I mainly want to use this tool to get my articles and web2.0 properties indexed, and I have lots of them.


    2) How fast is this tool? For example, how many minutes does it take to finish submiting to 100 social mark sites for ONE url?

    Thanks

    One more question: Do you have character limitation on the URLs that we submit? For example: no more than 120 characters. Because I have many articles on article directories and the URLs are mostly very long.

      No, not on urls, you can submit a long one if you like

    Hi Team,

    We have now set it up that you can plug sites into the system by getting your own Social Bookmarking site
    If you need hosting as well and signup to hostgator through our link, we will build you a site free, this is because I can pay the programmers with the ref comms I should get.

    To read more visit: SocialMonkee - Your Instant Backlink Builder! - After login it will forward you to the sales/information page

    Love to know your thoughts on this addition

    Hi Colin,

    The new Social Bookmarking Site program sounds interesting.

    I use Host Gator and I have a few domain names not being used.

    A couple of these are good keyword names with a good deal of exact searches.
    Would you suggest using one of these for your program, or using a throw away one?

    I understand that part of it depends if were going to promote that site ourselves, but the articles posted on it will most likely not be relevant to the name.

    Will there be certain categories on the sites or can we specify a category, such as Health, Electronics etc. etc.

    cheers,

    Hi Jerry,

    Good qs. Yes I would say choose depending on if you plan on driving some backlinks to it.

    Part 2 is no, you can't choose at this stage, at this stage it is all categories, but they will be given random names and your site will be totally unique to the others. I would use a domain name that doesn't hold a lot of value to you. Can be a great way to get a lot of pages indexed, get some good ad impressions and also backlink from many pages to your sites, but i don't think it is target content so therefore not worth using EMD's.

    Having said that, it doesn't need to be a domain just for this, you could have a blog or splash page on the root of the domain, and get us to build the social site in a folder (/top-ratings/ for example - you can choose that, and the name of the folder when submitting the short form.

    Hi Colin,

    Thanks for your last answer.

    Another question about SocialMonkee.

    Just trying to make sure I totally understand how I should be pinging. I did watch your video a couple of times, but still not totally clear.

    When I open the 'view report' (under submitted reports) do I copy and paste all 100 urls over to PingFarm (or whatever pinging site)? Or do I just copy the url in the address bar (above the report) for all those 100 sites?

    Is that the same thing with the RSS feeds button. Just copy the address url and submit that only?

    Thanks for clarifying that for me.

    cheers,

    Hi Jerry,

    no need to submit the 100 one by one, the report is there more for an FYI (for your info). Although I do it with a mass ping tool that I have installed on my blog. The RSS feed is the one you want to take the url of, and submit that. You can also submit the RSS feed to sites like: millionrss - organising the world's rss feeds - one feed at a time

      Colin, thanks for your quick reply to my question. But sorry for sounding a bit daft, but am I to open up each of the 100 sites (1 at a time) then copy and paste their url into a RSS feed site?

      Just not completely understanding how to submit those RSS urls.

    Not sure if it's a bug.

    I just submited a site using the plugin in Firefox but then it came up with an error saying the URL has already been submitted. Then i went to Reports and it showed that the site is scheduled to be submitted. I definatly only clicked submit once.

    If we are using the free version, do we need to ping the URL's that are shown in the report so the backlinks get indexed? As we don't get an RSS feed in the free version i take it.

      EDIT: I found the solution to my problem (#1, below) in your FAQ .. of all places!

      Simple: View->ToolBars->Add-on Toolbars (although I didn't have to ReStart) .. and Bingo! The Monkee's head appeared on my toolbar.

      1) I just downloaded and installed the S/M plug-in and restarted Fire Fox (actually, my PC).

      When my PC restarted and my F/F browser reopened, the Social Monkee icon was not on the task bar, below, nor anywhere else. I tried reinstalling the S/M F/F plug-in twice, but no luck either time. (I used File->Open and selected the plug-in from the folder where I'd downloaded it, clicked on Install, and then clicked on Restart .. and my PC restarted .. but no Monkee head anywhere.)

      I guess I can always use the form on your site, but I would like to have the option of the S/M icon ... so what do you suggest I do to get it to show up?


      EDIT: Still would like an answer to this one:

      2) I noticed that special offer, about submitting a "project" (my site's URL?) to 100 social bookmarking sites for $2.99. OK, but *which* social bookmarking sites?

      Since this special offer involves 100 sites and the free version of S/M (which I have) involves only 25 sites, I assume they're different sites and/or result in different BLs .. but then again, the upgraded version of S/M involves 100 sites.

      I'm (obviously) confused.

      Thanks,
      Richard

      EDIT: Sent you a PM.

      Colin,

      I'm not sure which new feature I like better or which is more impressive, your EZ to do {Spin 1 | Spin2 | Spin 3} or the RSS Feed?

      Which one does your users seem to like the most?

      I ask this mostly so when I do my next review on SM, I am quoting the author's take on this vs. using my personal experience. Regardless, since becoming a Premium user of Monkee, I've allowed my clients to piggyback on my SM dashboard, albeit I have to all the heavy lifting.

      The FFox add-on is splendid and used to be a huge FFox advocate, but since Chrome is so much faster, I am counting the days/hours/minutes until you roll-out a Chrome Extension <hint hint>

      Then again, if I had my druthers, I'd opt to see SM buy some better quality domains v. those with an Alexa north of 2 million which seems to be the norm.

      Strong work Aussie!

        Hey Jerry, good questions. I think both are very important to ensuring links get indexed. I think the spinner is the one users should focus on. It doesn't need to take too much time, but it is worth adding in a lot of variations where possible as the SERPS love unique content, lets say you dont spin at all, from 100 sites, 1 might get indexed, maybe a couple. If you spin a lot and get the RSS feeds pinged etc. then a MUCH higher % should get indexed

        Regarding more high quality sites, about 5% of them have alexa of around 60k and have some PR, but this really is not very important, what is important is getting your backlinks indexed, so they count towards your rankings.

        We Do plan on buying and adding some more quality sites, and also we have it on the list to make a Chrome Extension. In honesty though, it might be a couple of months away. We have so much to do

        Thanks heaps for the support!

      Hi Frank, it is quite a simple system. After you upgrade, you fill out the form with your submission info, preview it to ensure it is correct and then submit it to 100 sites

      You then get the reports and RSS feeds. If you have any specific questions please let me know

    I went back tonight to try again. I donwloaded the Firefox plug-in but I find the older style submission for easier for me.

    Social Monkee is a nice tool. I may sign up for the $47 unlimited service. I still suggest spending an hour or so and expanding the user manaul a bit to walk people through everything in detail.

    I find throughout WSO that anyone selling software/plugins needs more detailed documentation in almost all cases. Spend an hour or two more on documentation. Then have a newbie friend read it to see if they understand. If they don't understand - ask them where they got lost.

    Technical people assume the avg person understands technical things as well as others.

        Hi Fermina,
        It does work on FF4, but by default, FireFox switch off the bottom bar. What you need to do is in the FireFox menu bar click on 'View' then click on 'Toolbars' and then ensure that 'addon bar' it ticked. It will then work on FireFox 4 as the bottom bar comes back and that is where the monkee head is

              Is it better not to ping? I've heard that it can be bad if you ping links going to your own site a lot... index spamming I think it's called... I believe pinging backlinks is ok though.

                First of all, thanks for all your help! I'm embarrassed to say my learning curve has gotten worse with age, so I appreciate you're helping me out.

                Now that I finally have some BLs to ping, I'm realizing that pinging 100 BLs might take some time - like the better part of an hour ... that is, if I understand how to do it correctly? (And doing 100 BLs 3 times a day would be the better part of 3 hours! Yikes.)

                I just want to make sure that there's no "automatic ping function", is there? I mean, rather than copying & pasting each KW/Title & its corresponding Social Monkee URL into the Pingomatic form, one by one, it would be great if there was something to do that automatically.

                Richard

                EDIT: Colin - I guess I should have PMed you, which I'm doing now.

                  You don't need to ping all 100 urls individually, you can ping the rss url for each report.

                  Watch his video on the submission page, it explains it very well.

                    No, it doesn't make much difference. This is the period of time over which the links will be created... so 10 days or 14 days, it's pretty much the same!

                    There's no best strategy, but if you submit several URLs of the same site three times every day, a few days in a row, I suggest that you go for 10 days or more. This is just to make sure the links look natural to the search engines. I hope that makes sense!

                    Is it better not to ping? I've heard that it can be bad if you ping links going to your own site a lot... index spamming I think it's called... I believe pinging backlinks is ok though.
                    Yes, and you have access to the RSS feed after the submission is completed.

                    We recommend our users to ping their RSS feeds so their links get indexed faster. I guess what you're referring to is when someone mass pings thousands of backlinks to a unique site.

                    I just want to make sure that there's no "automatic ping function", is there? I mean, rather than copying & pasting each KW/Title & its corresponding Social Monkee URL into the Pingomatic form, one by one, it would be great if there was something to do that automatically.
                    Hi Richard,

                    What you must ping is the RSS feed of every of your projects and not every single of your backlinks. Please watch the video in the 'Reports' section. There's no 'automatic ping function', and submitting an RSS feed to a ping site like Ping-o-Matic or Pingoat shouldn't take you more than a few seconds. Make sure you watch the video!

                    I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Sounds great.. I tried to install the Firefox plugin tho but it just didn't install right (couldn't ever find that lil monkee at the bottom lol..) so I deleted it and just logged into my account and did my first free submission. We'll see how it goes. I really like the fact that this tool has spintax ability. P.S. Sent in a ticket about the plugin issue coz I'd really like using that if I can get it to install right.

      Hi - If you are in FireFox 4, please click on 'view' in the top toolbar, then click on 'toolbars' and make sure 'addon bar' is selected. This will give you the bottom bar.

      Then if you reinstall it, you will see the monkee head down there

      For upgraded members, because there are a lot more links, they can choose how many days to drip the links out over. Anywhere from 2 - 14 days Free members links go out over 2 days....

      You can then see your (partial or full) report, under the 'reports' section

        hi Colin

        I'm trying to install the firefox plugin with no success. I'm following your instructions to the letter but keep getting the same issue.

        I go to "open" the plugin with firefox... but it keeps telling me: "Close Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."

        I'm not trying to open firefox, i'm trying to open the plugin WITH firefox, as your video instructs.

        I've also tried saving the plugin and then installing. But if i save it, i don't even have the option to open it with firefox because the firefox icon is greyed out.

        what to do please?

          Hi,

          If you save it to desktop, then drag it and drop it on top of the firefox icon, that should work. Are you on Mac? If so, click on the mac icon top left, then click on 'force quit' and ensure that firefox is not running.

          Otherwise, please save the plugin, then restart your computer, then drag it and drop it onto the firefox icon and go through the install process. Please let me know how you get on

            i still haven't been able to get the firefox plugin going, but i'm not too fussed about that at the moment. I've joined as a premium member and i'm happy to do my submissions in the members area.

            I've just done my first submission. couple of questions:
            1/ i've set it to drip feed over 14 days, do i only get the downloadable report after 14 days when it has finished?
            2/ i watched the 'backlink building' video on the reports page. It shows an RSS icon which my page doesn't have. Does the icon "show up" in 14 days? or do i have to do something now to set that up?

            cheers!

              You should see the report in a few days with some of the sites, but it will still be in progress, so best to wait until after the 14 days... Also yes, the RSS feed button will become available after 14 days once the project moves to 'completed'

              Thanks for the support, let me know if there is anything I can do to improve the system

      We have had lots of testimonials on our facebook page and on the blog etc. I personally have ranked content with just social monkee! The trick to it though is to use it for your backlinks too. So your other web20 content etc. (other article sites, and other backlinks) to run them through the system

      Here is a post but we need to update it as we have many more testimonials since then SocialMonkee Testimonials

        Great question. The comma means more than 1 tag will be used, so you could do: {tag1|tag2|tag3},{2ndtag1|2ndtag2},{3rdtag1|3rdtag 2|3rdtag3}

        So it will then always place 3 tags, but 1 from each spin. Please can you use the preview though to see that it places the (in this case) 3 tags correctly

          Thanks for the quick reply... I'm using google wonder wheel to get a load of relevant tags... There's around 60 of them... Do you recommend using 3 sets of 20 tags?

          Also, for my previous submissions, I just put in a load of keywords seperated by commas... does this effect my backlinks?

          Cheers.

            The tags play very little difference, it is mainly to fill out the page and add some unique content. I would use 6 sets of 10 if you can, it gives more options for unique tags etc. on the page. Even 10 sets of 6 could be a cool way to go

      Hey Aaron,

      Awesome Profile Pic, that looks sic!

      Viralbookmarking (VB) is a bit like socialADR, but from your ip, this means other people bookmark your sites with their real ip, not all from a server ip. Real people bookmarking carries more weight (but also has a bit more manual work) - to be honest, VB is still in beta and we are considering if we want to launch it and spend a lot of time and money on it or not... what are your thoughts, feel it has good potential? (It does require some manual work from users, or buying credits)

      SocialMonkee - This is a much more automated solution, you get your link on up to 100 do follow sites and get RSS feeds and reports. But there is no other people bookmarking your bookmarks unlike in VB, if that makes sense

      So 2 different products, each with different pros and reasons to use them

    Hi Colin,

    Just upgrade to premium account, and I am a bit confused with the drip feed, say if I have got 20 websites with 20 URL, is that I can set all in once and Social Monkee will automatically bookmark it with the daily limit of 300 submission on all the 20 URLs randomly?

    Thanks

    Hi Ringo,

    No it is the submission of that 1 project, how long it will take. So if you fill out the form and select 10 days, it will then post 10 links a day for 10 days to give you 100 after the 10 days. If you select 4 days it will submit 25 a day for that project

    Hope that helps clear up the drip feed.

    I just joined under the free version about an hour ago and got started right away on bookmarking my first site...

    I spent about 20+ minutes on making sure I had done a great job on spinning, spinning both at the paragraph level, sentence level, and word level.

    Upon clicking submit I get an error message that reads:

    "This URL Has Been Submitted Already.. Please Enter A Different URL"

    AND THEN IT COMPLETELY CLEARED ALL MY SPYNTAX THAT I WORKED SO HARD TO CREATE AND RETURNED ME TO A BLANK FORM!!!!!

      Well, I would say that this is very unnormal. I am also a premium member and wait for over 1 week to get my bookmarks processed. I was told that its just a question of time. ok, it depends if this takes a few days or a few weeks/months...

    Hi Brad,

    We will look into that change, when you put your url in first, it should check if its ok to submit or already been submited, that way you dont have to write it all first if its been submitted, as different urls would need different text right? I passed your comment on to my developers though.

    Ringo - Yes we have a bit of a backlog at the moment, but it is something we are working to sort out and by next week we feel it will be back to normal. Please see our Facebook page for updates - Thanks for the support, your submissions will go out, just a bit slower at the moment

    Hi SEOed - Yeah my programmers told me it would be fine in a few days, but they underestimated the quantity and the speed of submissions. The backlog is 15k and we are working it off, but it is slower than we thought...

    We plan to keep growing and move forward fast, so we need to change the coding. It will take him 5 days full time coding to change from cron submits to API. Then it will be less server intensive and faster on the submissions and we should then catch up within 1-2 weeks. So the time frame to return to normal is around 3 weeks

    BUT - please note that your submissions are queued and are still going out, so it is slower then the drip feed time but will get posted for sure!

    Ok, I became a premium member, did a submission about a month ago, pinged the rss feed of the report, and when I check the url backlinks going in to it it says zero. I'm checking the yahoo inlinks from the SEOQuake plugin. At one point, it listed one backlink, that was from SM, but now it says zero. My question is, is SocialMonkee a waste of time if my links are not getting indexed?

    Am I doing something wrong? I'm working in a Chrome brower and when I check the rss feed of the report url, it doesn't look right and nothing is clickable, but the rss feed url looks fine in IE and firefox, does any of that make a difference? I'm pretty sure I did it right.

    thanks for the detailed explanation.

    My question is, is SocialMonkee a waste of time if my links are not getting indexed?
    No, only a fraction of backlinks get indexed but a lot do get CRAWLED! That way they still get noticed by Google and Co.

    Yeah, Chrome somehow cannot display RSS feeds. I have the same problem but I think you did everything correctly.

      Yes im sure you did everything correctly. Yahoo only lists a fraction of the links and often, if they are too similar it will show even less, but does not mean they don't count.

      Take some of the URLs from the report and copy/paste them into google, see if they are indexed. If not, ping them or submit them to RSS feeds again. I get a high index rate and even rank websites for long tail terms with only SocialMonkee runs

      We are also working on adding more sites to the network asap, once the programmer sorts the current issue, we already have more sites and are promoting them, so they can be added in near future

    I purchased the one-time fee 100 bookmarks for one URL which I submitted to drip over 10 days. It finished up one day last week. I have not done anything yet with the RSS Feed. I also have done no other bookmarking and promoting of this new site. I just checked Yahoo Site Explorer and have 2 backlinks that came from the Social Monkee list.

    The submission was easy to do and I expect that with time and me pinging the RSS Feed that more of these links will begin to show up.

    So far, I like the service.

      Hi Jackie! Thanks for the kind words! Yes, you should definitely ping the RSS feed to get your backlinks indexed faster. We recommend: Ping-o-Matic, Pingoat and Feed Shark.

        I Paid for the 100 option and made a 2-day submission on 29 May. Today the status still says "2 days until full submission."

        I raised a ticket and was told on 1st June ...

        "SocialMonkee is running a little slow these days due to a higher number of connections. Our technicians are working in cooperation with our hosting providers to resolve the issue.

        This might take 2 to 3 days. We are struggling to keep up but we're working on top of it. Every submission WILL be posted. It is just a matter of waiting. We are very sorry for the inconvenience"


        IMO anyone thinking of paying for an upgrade should forget it until they have sorted this out!

        Paying for stuff you dont get is a tad irritating!!!!

    After reading all the success stories here, I decided to sign up for an upgraded account. I feel confident that it will work out well.

    I did hit some snags in my first try of submitting 3 bookmarks. Here are some suggestions/feedback:

    - Canceled bookmarks should not be counted against the 3 a day quota. Sometimes, we may have made a mistake and want to correct it and them resubmit. If that is not possible, at least allow editing while the bookmark is still in queue.

    - For paid customers, remove the advertising offers when we first sign in. I think most services offer that benefit (no advertising) to folks using the paid versions of their services. Alternatively, make it less obstrusive. I think a banner on the page is tolerable, without requiring extra click throughs each time we log on to skip advertising.

    - allow more levels of nested spinning, just as they are accepted by the Best Spinner. My spintax was looking good in TBS, but once I transferred over to Social Monkee, it came out weird. After removing one level of nesting, it worked.

    Thanks Sir.

    I'm using the free version. Just submitted, it says a report will be generated when submission is complete. But I don't see a reports tab. Where do I go to view the report?
    Thanks,
    Deb

    Hey Andy - The one time submits are running ok, so maybe there was a problem with your submission. Can you please reopen that ticket and address it to Julien, so we can check it out for you? Thank you

      Hi Colin, I did as you asked and here is the reply I received this morning ...
      SocialMonkee is running a little slow these days due to a higher number of connections. Our technicians are working in cooperation with our hosting providers to resolve the issue.

      This might take 2 to 3 days. We are struggling to keep up but we're working on top of it. Every submission WILL be posted. It is just a matter of waiting. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

      Thanks for your patience.


      ..... the same reply I received on 1st June. Clearly all is not well!

          I just signed up for this service a few days ago and although it said that it would take 24 hours to process my links it was done within about 3/4 hours... So I guess they must have sorted out any speed issues.

            All is definitely not well! I was a happy "free" subscriber and took advantage of what used to be $2.99 specials to submit 100 sites. Everything worked great! The moment I made a decision to become a paid subscriber, I have had nothing but problems I am afraid. I'm sure it's coincidental, but that's how it worked out.

            I have raised a few tickets and received the cookie cutter replies. I waited patiently for a couple of weeks to have my only 6 submissions processed and now that they have started being submitted, I have a new problem.

            In the reports screen I have a whole heap of duplicate submissions being reported and a) I am concerned that these may have actually been submitted on my behalf a number of times (instead of just once!) and b) I use the reports to grab the RSS feeds and submit them to RSS directories but because they are duplicated a large number of times, it is a pain in "you know where" to fish out the ones I have not submitted yet.

            Colin, if you are reading this, I am not in a habit of using a WF thread for support issues but I have sumitted a ticket about this latest, duplicate submissions issue and have had 3 replies including one from Julien. All have unfortunately been irrelevant as it is quite obvious that my original ticket has seemingly not been read.

            In all honesty Colin, as happy as I was using and recommending the service, I am now very disappointed and feel let down. I don't think one is available but if I could, I'd be asking for a refund. AND fyi, it's not because the service is experiencing (hopefully temporary) problems but because of the lack of communication with your members and the very ordinary and impersonal support.

    Andy, I asked you to please attention it to Julien, as my support staff are not the fastest to get with the program. I will ask him to come in here and PM you two now. My programmer says all 1 time submits were done fine... We will check your case and refund, plus give you a credit to do it again on the house for the troubles

    Everything was working sweet about 2 months ago, so I hope you guys get the submission problems sorted soon.
    I'm upgraded and have had one job sitting in the queue now for over 3 weeks that hasn't even started (2 day job) and I just finished submitting a new one today.
    The dates in the Scheduled dates field are months off, both forward and backwards. lol

      Hi Ryan,

      There is still a queue of submissions to be processed, but it was reduced by 40% over the last few days, which is good progress. However if you submitted a URL 3 weeks ago... the links should have been created by now. Can you please check again? If the submission still show in the Pending section, send me a PM with the details and I will get a technician to look into this.

      Hi Vlad,

      Sorry if you felt that our responses were impersonal but they were all honest responses. Please send me a PM with your SocialMonkee username and I will get a technician to check and delete any duplicate entries you might have on your account. Thanks for your patience!

        Thanks to both Colin and Julien for attending to this issue and hopefully finally resolving it for me.

        I want to make it very clear that I don't have any complaints about the service itself (when it works ), in fact I think it's great and have recommended it to a couple of associates. I did feel however that lately, the support has not been up to scratch and not commensurate with the quality of the service being provided by Social Monkee.

        Judging by Colin's post above though, it looks like this was just a temporary glitch. Onwards and upwards!

        Thanks guys!

          I have tested this tool and it was great. But I notice that it only gives me a 12 backlinks report and not 25 backlinks. Why is this?

      Hi James, as a free member we give you limited reports, so you can see 12 out of the 25. As a premium you will get all 100 plus RSS feeds

      Hi VilRoot - They are Social Bookmarking links and look like what they are They are dofollow though unlike most bookmarking sites so help your ranking a fair bit once you get the links indexed
