Top 3 Auto Social Bookmarking Sites

http://www.blackhatsoftware.net/bookmarking/auto-social-bookmarking-software-tools-compared/

Here are the top 3 Auto Social Bookmarking Software Tools:

1. Bookmarking Demon = Bookmarking Demon has continued to evolve and grow. Now with Version 5 the list of features is long and all inclusive. The number #1 reason why Bookmarking
Demon is Number #1 is because it litterally does everything you want a Social Bookmarking Software to do. It will Create an unlimited number of Accounts with the Top Social Bookmarking sites and you can create an unlimited number of Profiles which allows you to submit the same site to different accounts over and over. It will Spider your site and then you can pick and choose what Pages to Submit as opposed to typing in each and every URL, Title, and Description. Then it will submit to all the top services, but you can also Spider and add an unlimited number of Scuttle and Scuttle Plus Social Bookmarking sites to the services you submit to. The best reason of all to buy this product is because it is now on Version 5 and continues to be the single best supported program of it’s kind on the web. A very all inclusive program, Bookmarking Demon is the #1 choice for Automated Social Bookmarking. Enough Said.
2. SocialBot = SocialBot has a lot of the same features as Bookmarking Demon, but it is simpler and does not have the auto account creation feature quite as automated as Bookmarking Demon does. It submits to 88 top tier Social Bookmarking and Scuttle Plus sites and also allows you to add as many Scuttle Sites to it as you want.

3. Social Marker = There is nothing special about Social Marker. It is an online tool which will submit any site you want to 48 of the most popular Social Bookmarking sites. The best thing about it is it is Free. It doesn’t have any advanced features, but every now and then a Free Submission on someone else’s account doesn’t hurt.

What is BookmarkingDemon?

Below is a blog post from a blog called Bookmark Demon review defining Bookmarking Demon:

BookmarkingDemon is a simple little application that automates the process of submitting links to Social Bookmarking sites like del.icio.us, faves.com, spurl.net and many more. I know I’ve tried submitting my sites to some of these sites and it’s a big pain in the butt. Even using a free service like SocialMarker.com can still be quite tedious to use. After hearing about BookmarkingDemon I went to the homepage and watched some of the videos and I was quite impressed. Everything was automated, and you could do some cool things like randomizing your account user names and your bookmark titles to make things appear less spammy. Once this whole process is done, I could see it would bring my sites more targeted traffic (via tags), faster search engine indexing, higher search engine ranking and probably even better Page Rank.

Opinon on Social Bookmarking Buttons

Below is a commentary reagrding the question: Are Social Bookmarking Buttons Useless?

http://www.doshdosh.com/are-social-bookmarking-buttons-useless/

A poll about the use of social bookmarking buttons was set up on Dosh Dosh a week or two ago and it received 221 votes by readers and other visitors. I’ve just ended the poll and I wasn’t really surprised with the results because they cohered with my personal experiences.
I’ll be the first to say that I have never used any social bookmarking buttons on any website or blog that I’ve come across. All my bookmarks or page submissions are done via a combination of official and third party bookmarklets or tools.I guess I never developed the habit of using the bookmark icons for some reason. Before I examine the poll results, let’s do an introduction to social bookmark buttons.

What are Social bookmarking or voting buttons?

These are simply small icons or text links which allow you to easily bookmark the webpage you are reading by saving a link to it on an online bookmarking website. Some of these icons also allow you to submit the webpage to a variety of social voting websites, whereby other users of the social website can vote for it, if they find it interesting. You’ll need to first register with the various social websites before you can start using the icons you see to bookmark the article. A good place to start is through this list of the top 25 most popular social bookmarking/voting websites online.

Social Bookmarking Usage Poll Results

Here are the results for the poll:

45% of users never used them (99 votes)
37% of users use them (81 votes)
19% of users don’t know what they are (41 votes)

According to the results, 64% of voters do not use social bookmarking buttons, with 19% of them not knowing what they are at all. Out of the 37% of voters who use the buttons, there is probably a large number of them who already know how to bookmark through other means as well.
I don’t think social bookmarking or voting buttons are necessary for any website but I keep them up because they can serve as reminders for your visitors to bookmark or share the article with others. If I had to choose between text links or icons, I would probably pick text links because they seem to be more instructive and direct.
