Bookmarking Demon is helping me boost the traffic of some of my low-traffic sites. It works by helping you easily bookmark your web pages in various social bookmarking sites. And it works well if you use this tool correctly.
The question is, are you making these social bookmarking mistakes?
1. Posting too many bookmarks. Since Bookmarking Demon automates the tedious process of logging into SBM sites, copy/pasting the url of the page you want to bookmark, typing the title and description, and adding the keywords that best describe the page you're trying to bookmark, you might think it would be great if you bookmark hundreds of pages a day.
Well, if you do that, then the SBM site owners will disable your account within a few days. The last thing they need it someone who just clogs up their directories with self-promotional links.
2. Bookmarking only your pages. Face it, folks, if the only pages you promote (via social bookmarking) are YOUR pages, it gets quite obvious what you're trying to do. You're just using those SBM (and their high PR pages) to build links to your sites.
How selfish is that, right?
Wouldn't it be better if you use SBM sites the way they were intended to be used? You know, to list sites that you truly find useful or entertaining. This means you should also bookmark even the sites that you don't own.
This is just a rough rule of thumb, but bookmark 5 other web pages for every one of your own web pages that you bookmark.
3. Creating too many bookmarking duplicates. Do you bookmark your web page in practically all social bookmarking sites? How would you think the SBM owners or community members would feel if what their site contains can be easily found in all those other 50 communities online, right?
Try to get a feel of what the focus of each SBM community is, and bookmark accordingly. For example, if a community enjoys medical-related web sites, then bookmark such sites. Don't suddenly BM your make money online site.
My Experience With BookmarkingDemon (www.bookmarkingdemon.com)
I have this six-month old, non-monetized niche web site that contains several articles. After submitting a few unique articles to EzineArticles (to build backlinks to that niche site), the daily traffic averaged around 3 visitors per day.
A few days ago, I ran the BookmarkingDemon software and submitted that old niche site.
If you check the stats, that niche site is now averaging 50 visitors per day. Nothing new was done to the site. The unique articles in the site, and the EzineArticles submitted were the only things done many months ago.
Yet the daily 3 unique visitors has suddenly jumped to 50, within just 24 hours from the time BookmarkingDemon was used. Give it a try today, and see a boost in your web site traffic.
5/19/2008 UPDATE: Edwin Brian, developer of Bookmarking Demon, is currently working on version 4. Edwin says it will cost higher (than $97), but existing users of BMD will get the upgrade for free. If you do get BMD version 3.6 now, however, you'll only be able to successfully submit your sites to 10 of the 17 social bookmarking sites listed in the BMD software. You can, however, still work with the scuttle sites. If you still don't have BMD, I suggest you wait for version 4.
(Did you know that while I was writing this post, BMD was running in the background, automatically submitting my other web pages to social bookmarking sites?)

Thanks for the tips. I need to start bookmarking other people's pages rather than just my own. Great to see the success you have had with Bookmarking Demon, I will have to check it out.
sounds interesting. The only thing that's bothering me is that all the reviews I've seen never seem to mention the names of the social bookmarking sites that it does work with. I understnad it may change form time to time, but I don;t really want to spend the money only to find out the sites it bookmarks to are all PR1 sites no one every heard of.
Can you tell me what sites are included?
thanks
todd
Here are some of them: bibsonomy, bmaccess, del.icio.us, faves, furl, getgoo, linkagogo, listible, blogmarks, mister-wong, netrocket, netvouz, simpy, spotback, spurl. Please note, however, that some social bookmarking sites are starting to get allergic to automatic submissions.
Version 3.6 of BMD is able to successfully post to 10 out of 17 social bookmarking sites, and the developer, Edwin Brian, said that he will revamp the entire software, and upgrade it to BMD version 4. For now, it is only in the early stages of development.
Once BMD4 launches, the price will be higher. But existing BMD users will get the upgrade for free. In the meantime, Edwin recommends existing BMD users to just use scuttle sites first.
So, Todd, the choices are: Get BMD3.6 now and focus on scuttle sites, or wait for the higher priced BMD4 (so far, there's no timeframe regarding its release) which will hopefully be able to successfully submit bookmarks automatically to more social bookmarking sites.
My recommendation? Wait for BMD4.
The idea is a good one but the software is not well designed. What about the web-based alternatives? There are sites that let you do something similar. Have you tried those?
