Many People Focus on the % of Success in Bookmarking
This is what I call myopic in bookmarking. I often see people in forums posting “Why the success rate is low”, “the tool doesn’t work”, “It sucks” (the list goes on).
Ask yourself. Why did you buy the tool? You want automation. To free yourself from the manual work. So that you can focus on making more money!
Don’t tell me that you run the tool and watches till it complete. Rejoicing when you see high percentage of success and swear when you see failures. That is not the way to use the tool!
What I do is simply have a large list of bookmarking sites added into BookmarkingDemon. Everyday just add couple of web pages and mix it with my own bookmarks and submit. I just repeat that. Not bothering if I am getting 50% of success or 80% of success. Even 20% is a decent backlinks if you have 1000 sites in your belt.
The Odds of Getting a 100% Success Rate.
It’s tiny!
In a soccer game (it’s WorldCup 2010 afterall), you have a goalkeeper preventing you from striking GOAL.
In the bookmarking game, sites are always changing so frequently. The change is like the goalkeeper, doing their best to combat bookmarking tools and spam. Sites die. Backlinks perish with the dead sites too.
Even if you setup your own bookmark farms, you will not be able to obtain 100% success rate (though the % will surely be very high). You might disagree, but it’s like your own Internet connection. It does not give you 100% uptime.
Failed Submissions Make Things Look Natural!
Yes you read me. Even unsuccessful submission helped to make things look more natural.
A Successful SEO Campaign Makes Money. But… How?
- Quality content – This is very important. Only good content can last.
- Relevancy – How relevant is a backlink to your post? Relevancy of backlinks carry decent weight. It is certainly weird to link a cooking recipe post to a automobile post.
- The more the merrier - Add as many sites into BookmarkingDemon to bookmark your URLs to. This increased the number of backlinks built.
- Get a good mix – A site that goes viral, will certainly have all kinds of backlinks. They can come in big swarm. Or they can come in small waves. It doesn’t really matter.Include article submission, blog commenting, forum posting, and etc. Plus, all these gotta be done in a “natural” way. Spread your activities out so that the tool emulates what you want to do the manual way.If your site is good, you are ready for a visual inspection. Anytime.
Are you focusing on the more important things?
Hi Demonic Kitty,
Thanks for this article. It is a well-timed reminder about the #1 Reason for purchasing this tool – Automation. I agree with you that even submissions failing is a good thing because it looks more natural. ^_^
I’m enjoying your articles. Pls keep them coming and do share more about how you personally use BookmarkingDemon to simplify your life.
We just purchased this software and are still confused about scheduling and adding new websites to the on-going queued bookmarks.
While there is a learning curve to use this product, I trust that once we get the hang of things and figure things like what kind of schedule looks natural, etc, it will work for us more easily and reliably than outsourcing to virtual assistants.
Thanks again for sharing. Appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into writing a good article, even bothering to include relevant images. *two thumbs up*
