Bookmarking Demon Review and Tutorial
By Vic on Mar 13, 2008 in Tools
This Bookmarking Demon tutorial does not cover the whole process and use of Bookmarking Demon instead I focused on the most important parts of Bookmarking Demon. It is crucial you understand how to use Bookmarking Demon correctly to get the full benefit from it.
If you are here, I’m assuming you know what social bookmarking is and I bet you are trying to promote your site but in order to do that you need the correct way to do it.
Bookmarking Demon is a professional, spam-free tool for submitting your bookmarks which will save you a lot of headache and free up your valuable time to do other things.
What will Bookmarking Demon do for you:
In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.
Scuttle
Web-based social bookmarking system. Allows multiple users to store, share and tag their favourite links online.

Oh Boy, I did not realize there were more to it than the tutorial I read when i bought the copy. Normally, I just enter the URL and Bookmark away without a care in the world.
Hey Vic,
Thank you very much for the tutorial on bookmarking demon. I am glad to know that I have been using it correctly. I think that your readers should know that you have to create new accounts every time you do a run. I was making this mistake.
One question for me: Have you had problems finding scuttle sites lately? When I do searches for them and register on 2-3 are successful now.
-Fred
I get ones coming up saying that they are unsuccessful but when I actually check some of them they are Ok.
Fred to be hones I really do not even pay attention to it I ussually get about ten sites at a time working but one pass is 200 links per url so I really do not care that much about it.
Vic, general question about link building.. Do you ever outsource? There are so many companies offering to submit your sites to web directories for the likes of $10 for 100 submissions.
Never I do all myself I am to paranoid to trust my links on some other person.
Ok buddy, please login today so we can chat. I need to talk to you ASAP. I will be on all day.
New version of Bookmarking Demon came out today with so many bugs it’s almost unusable.
Strange I am running right now 4 computers as soon as they finish I will download the new version and install to find out what is up.
I’ve played around with it some more and it seems that searching for scuttles doesn’t work as well as registering for scuttle sites fails on all.
Also when you create accounts the login and passwords are not saved for any on they fixed or newly added bookmarking sites. It’s seems to be creating the accounts just not saving the info.
There are some issues with is, but I completely uninstalled the old version, and installed the new one and haven’t seen any issues yet…
If only this video is out much earlier. I wish i had known that i need to hide my urls with some other totally unrelated ones. Some of my sites cant get through to mister wong now due to them being marked as spam. In your experience, is there any way they will get out of the system, say, maybe after some time? Thanks for all the tips.
Wait a few months and ask for a reinclusion. But at the end of the day do not worry much you still got the others just make sure you start hiding them now.
I have in the past but the problem seems to have gone away. Although I don’t really check. Another tip is that with bibsonomy you should go into your account and make it public. It’s automatically set to private.
Vic,
Great video man! I recently stated using BMD as well and this was perfect timing for me.
Looking forward to your next video.
Regards,
Chris
Chris welcome and I am glad it was helpful.
More great information OH MY! You are really kicking out some top notch info in the past two days on these videos. Not that the information wasn’t great before, but this really is mind blowing.
Just got another e-mail from BMD that they are working on fixing all the bugs. They will be updating shortly.
Denise I am so happy the info is turning out to be helpful.
And thank you so much for the update on BMD my computers are still on a run since yesterday and have not updated so hopefully when they finish I can update and get them back running again.
Vic-
Seems like there would be benefit from all of us banding together and putting each other’s sites/posts as the “extra” fluff posts (instead of McAfee & Dish Networks) when we use Bookmarking Demon.
I am in real estate, so I would have no issue bookmarking you or one of your readers pages. Better than McAfee getting it!
Vic, how do you do just a scuttle run, without the sites like magnolia etc? I can’t seem to start a run without including the other ‘legit sites’ in the run.
Leave the legit sites empty. In other words clear the data for the legit sites and just have the scuttle site data loaded.
Thanks Bruce I actually did that and nothing seemed to run - the scuttle sites were not bookmarking etc was wondering if it was just me until I found more bugs not listed in their updates, so contacted support. They’ve just gotten back to me with v3.6, trying that out now. Thanks man!
Hi,
I have the same problem that YC has. I can’t do a Scuttle only run in Bookmarking Demon. The “legit” sites have no login information but the run ends with a blank report window.
I tried the button Disable All Drivers which does not seem to work as well because all drivers remain active.
would really appreciate any help I can get.
Hey Martin I hate to say this but I was a dumbfuck and when I had updated the s/w with the new updates, it defaulted the ‘Enabled Multiscuttle’ option to blank again under the Scuttle tab. I’m not sure if yours is the same - pls check and select that option if you want to include scuttles in the runs.
Also, if you only want scuttle sites in the run, remove all the legit sites’ login info, do not use the disable all drivers button.
I am glad you guys figured it out
Thanks YC that did work, wonder how I could overlook that check box
Vic I have been watching your video for the third time now, hehe and I have on question. Am I correct that you run your sites several times in bookmarking demon using different accounts ? If that is the case how many times would you suggest to do that per week ?
Oh, and do you use proxies at all for this process ?
… wondering here if there is a way to run this on a Mac…?
Mirjam not that I am aware and I do not know if their is a tool like this for Mac . Please if anybody has an option leave a comment.
I already contacted a friend about it who works with both PC and Mac, hopefully he has a solution, maybe I can set up some OS on Mac to run it, because I run into this problem quite a lot. All the programs that come in handy and are a big timesaver are always only for PC
Thank you for the efforts you put into this blog!
I have just purcahsed BMD, and I’m not sure I understand how to hid my urls. Can someone clue me in a little better….. thanks
TA,
by hiding your URLS, what is meant is if you are bookmarking your sites with BMD, you don’t want to have only your URLS in there.
Add some others in with them to mix in some legit looking bookmarks to kind of hide yours.
You can use StumbleUpon to help come up with some other sites that are related to the ones that you are bookmarking, or just whatever.
Also, be sure to use the Proxy option if you are running multiple accounts for the bookmarking services.
ok I think I understand now.
So,
mysite
another site
another site
another site
another site
mysite2
on and on and on……. is this the right track?
THanks for the resposne
Yep, you got it…
