Costa and a few others have had some questions on the proper use of BookmarkingDemon and the expectations you need to have. First let’s look at what BookMarkingDemon does. Edwin who is the developer updates the software about every 30 to 45 days why does it need to be constantly updated? Because the sites that we use to tag do not like automated software so this is always a game of them changing there API and Edwin changing BMD to make accounts again. This is very important you know because you will notice that when you are tagging you will see many unsuccessful but that is not important. The important thing is to keep making accounts and keep tagging.
Now these are crucial to take the full effect of BookMarkingDemon. You must change the title of the post to the keyword. In other words when you paste your url in the “Bookmark URL” window and you click on “Load from meta tags” BMD will try to spider the page and get the TITLE, KEYWORDS and DESCRIPTION. Now remember the most important thing is to get anchored links so let’s say I was bookmarking a post with the title “Some where in Downtown Atlanta” and BMD now loads exactly that to your “Title” but your post is a well written keyword focused post and you are trying to work the keyword “Downtown Atlanta” so the only thing you will leave on the “Title” is the keyword “Downtown Atlanta”. Remember you will only be doing this once since you will be saving your URL list and every time you make a new post you just add the new post to the list and save as .TXT.
Now this part is also a must I try to have a minimum of 10 keywords. Why because you have to remember that for every tag a new page will be made and in return you will get another “Anchored Link” so example: For ever submission you make to a Scuttle Site you will be receiving 11 Anchored Links, one for your main list and one for each of your ten keywords.
Make sure you visit Edwin’s upgrade page to make sure you have the latest and also take the time and read the manuals and watch the videos BMD is tricky in the beginning but once you get it it becomes second nature.
BookMarkingDemon is all about mass link building and in the process they are all anchored links, every time I do a BMD run I get about 5k links for all my niches and they are all anchored. Think if you where trying to do this manually.
When will you start seeing the effect? I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA!!!! The more accounts you create and the more links you get the better the math but I have no idea what keyword you went for how is the competition of that keyword. Also you have to understand that you are at the mercy of Google counting your links and indexing them for PR and Authority so depending on how loaded there system and how much priority your site has is how fast you will move up the SERPS. Again folks their is no such thing as a magic bullet their are tools and this is one of them the important thing is you understand that even though this tool automates about 90% of the work it is still boring as fuck making new accounts every other day but you have to do it.
Do not get greedy and make 20 accounts at a time you will get caught and they will cancel your accounts for spamming I make one account at a time I do a tagging run, now I have 3 PC’s that have BMD running all day when one finishes I stop what I am doing and make new accounts and I do this over and over and over everyday read the manual and watch the videos Edwin gives some tips on how to hide your bookmarks I will tell you this the easiest way is when you have 20 or 30 sites of your own because all your links are not one after another so when you go on a scuttle site you do not have 3 pages back to back of your urls LMAO instead you have one link form one of your blogs and the next one is from another blog and so forth. So my recommendation till you grown on sites to promote make sure you add links from other sites to your bookmarks this way it looks less spammy.
Folks the most important thing is not to be a dumb fuck expecting to own spot one in Google for the term “credit cards” in two days it does not fucking work like that.
Also do not become a greedy bastard and try to make 50k anchored links for one page in one week. I try to keep my tagging links to between 5k to 8k per post. DO NOT GET FUCKING GREEDY!!!! Be smart and do your shit and stay under the radar this is what BookmarkingDemon is all about.

Great tips Vic!
I have seen the videos and am trying to justify the expense to my wife (I know, just do it!) but she still thinks this is b.s.
So, since you are running three systems, do you spread out your sites and accounts among the three? Or do you have them all on each one, sending in different pages from each site and spread that out over a few days?
Elliott explain to your wife dude the same rules that apply to a traditional business apply to an online business . Elliot we have to spend money it is what it is. Some of the folks mentioned the thousands of dollars that they have spent on ebooks it is funny but so have I and I still do. I do not mind spending 97 dollars in an ebook if I can find one sentence about something that I did not know. Elliot ask your wife to sit down with you and on a peace of paper write how much would it cost to start a hot dog vending stand, then write how much you have spent on your online business I will bet this site that you are still way under what a hot dog stand would cost. Now ask yourself can you guarantee success with a hot dog stand? With an online business you can guarantee results the problem is most people think it is instantaneous and it is not it takes serious work and yes it also takes money.
Elliot you do not need to own three licenses of BMD remember I am at another level then you guys are I have tons of more sites and I am also buying domains to sell down the line with PR and this is the fastest way and less work that I have found to promote my BANS sites.
Now not only do I run on three machines for all the sames sites but I use proxys to change the ip's making the bookmarks. I also have on each a different anchor keyword and also a different description just to try to hide the links better.
But you guys do not need this. I would recommend though once in a while refresh your ip and if you can not do a search for proxy list and use a few proxy to change the ip delivery
Thanks for the encouragement and ideas Vic! I have talked to her some, but I need to just "lay down the law!" so to speak.
Thanks for clarifying also how to do those things too!
…lay down the law…LMAO…good luck with that…
yeah, that's what she keeps telling me as I'm sleeping on the couch!
Vic,
Could you compare what you get from BookmarkingDemon vs. AutoSocialPoster? Do they do about the same thing or are they complimentary to each other? Which is most effective in generating traffic over the long haul? If you could only buy one, which would you buy and why?
Frank they both do exactly the same thing. But I use both.
Remember that when I create a niche I make post for 90 days in other words I make about 45 post with 10 of those published the first day and then I spread the rest in about every 3 days. Here I use AutoSocialPoster to promote the post as soon as it publishes and I do not have to may much attention to the post.
Now with BMD I keep promoting the index and the ten post that I did in the beginning now since I have so many sites I have one day a month that I go to my blogs and see what has been published and I add to my URL list and take the time to make new descriptions and also promote keyword anchors.
Now do you need them both NO YOU DO NOT! Do they compliment each other YES THEY DO! But if you are not making over 3k a month their should be no reason in hell why you folks should invest in both tools you only need BMD.
Also keep this in mind AutoSocialPoster only works with wordpress. BMD works for all your sites.
Now once you have 30 plus blogs in niches and you are making 3k plus a month BUY AUTOSOCIALPOSTER !!!!! You want to start promoting new post as soon as they publish and trust me folks the more sites you have the more automation you need to have you can not run 50 sites and expect to do it all manually it does not work that way.
Lets recap if you guys are not making money right now you only need BMD period! And folks please do not buy three licenses you guys are starting out you only need one install of BMD to do what you have to do.
Vic,
We don't mind paying for Auto Social Poster right now. Since we are going to be concentrating on WordPress blogs and we love the thought of automation, is it such a bad idea to go ahead and buy Auto Social Poster now instead of BMD?
-Marshall
Marshall do not please right now you guys need to start making real money. AutoSocialPoster is an awesome tool but it is limited to Wordpress.
This is what I recommend you guys do, If you have the money to buy AutoSocialPoster I would invest it differently. And this is assuming that you can spare the cash because if you guys are sacrificing something at home to buy a tool only buy BMD.
But with the same cash. I would diversify. Marshall online money making is all about baskets having many and spreading the eggs.
I would buy BANS and BMD and spend the rest on new domains so you can start a domain portfolio this is crucial for all you guys.
But Marshall again if this is a sacrifice please only buy BMD.
Ohh one more thing autosocialposter does not do auto create accounts it just post with BMD you only enter captchas. I should have mention that before.
Vic,
Thanks for writng this post! You have helped clear up a couple of points I did not understand. Changing the title should help tons.
Denise it is crucial because this is all about anchored links.
Sorry I got interrupted. You get 5k linkbacks a week doing this? WOW! I have never achieved those kind of results.
So once you have run through one account you make another and rerun again? Do you use the randomizer method shown in the video?
I would love to achieve these kinds of results. I have never gotten more than a few hundred backlinks on any site or blog.
Do you use the proxies given through BMD?
Sorry for so many ?s. What exactly is a skuttle site? I have never used this function on BMD because I did not understand what it was.
Denise on your BMD window there is a tab that says Search for Scuttle. Scuttle is an open source bookmarking script this is what http://de.lirio.us/ is.
Now I really do not think you fully comprehend how BMD and tagging works so lets make sure we are on the same page.
Every time you submit a website to http://del.icio.us/ you add the tags that go with the url now in return once submitted you will have one page for each tag and one for the primary url so lets say you added 10 keywords in your BMD you get 11 anchored links for each one link you submit, so not let's say you found 20 Scuttle sites and 10 A-list bookmarking sites are working so you get in total 30 successful submissions you will be getting 550 anchored links for each url so if you submit ten URLS you will be generating 5500 anchored links back so the fact that you say only hundreds either you do not understand the power of tagging or no doubt you are not using BMD right.
This is why I always add a minimum 10 keywords so I can get more links from that one submission.
I use all the techniques that Edwin talks about. Tagging is all about trying to be not seen. So the more undercover brother you can be the better.
Ah now I am beginning to understand it more and more. Gotta do it and then come back and read the stuff a few times. cool, Vic
Vic,
Do you recommend NOT using BMD to promote your MAIN niche blog? I think I read somewhere where you didn't rec using BMD for a main site.
I don't want to get pimped slapped by Google and have my main wordpress blog banned.
Also, what if my main niche wordpress blog has little hard-core competition, say like a credit card or mortgage/internet marketing niche.
Would you still prefer I use BMD over AUTO SP?
Jimmy to get in trouble with tagging you really have to go overboard with it. My recommendation is if you want some anchored links with BMD do it just limit to around 10 submissions per post per social site so if you get 20 sites with 10 keywords you are still looking at a few thousand anchored links per post remember they will all be PR0 so you will be looking at around a PR2 link anchored Google will not relly care that much for that but if you get a few million links you will get so bitch slap it will not be funny. Again what difference is if some of your readers did the same thing and bookmarked your post. All of the stories that I have heard of people getting slapped by G are tied to million links
Thanks Vic! You cleared up a lot of ?s. I will definitely be using this more. I think before I only used it once or twice on the same site and never really understood its power obviously. It definitely will be my new best friend!
Denise the important thing is to follow Edwins tips and make different descriptions and play with the keywords. Stay under the radar
Vic,
You are freaking awesome, Man! I can't remember the last time one of the so-called blogging guru's took the time to help their readers like you do.
Will google consider the anchor links on the sites we tag as on topic themes since our tags will be related to our url?
And what did you mean when you said "all be PR0 so you will be looking at around a PR2"?
Jimmy I am just tired of Dumb Fucks making people lose money and time right now I had to answer a comment from the fucking hypocrite Bryan Clark from OneMasnGoal that sorry peace of shit wrote a post about 8 months ago and I made a comment that was as long as a post explaining him how he could be hurting people with the shit he was writing. The asshole sent me to Askimet folder I had to request to be taken out by the Askimet people now the fucking hypocrite comes here trying to write a how nice he is comment FUCKING LOSER.
You folks can read my reply HERE
I just want you people to not lose more time and money. Right now we have readers that are trying to do what I am telling him but their spouses are like yeah another one. This happens because of assholes like Bryan Clark that start a site on how to make money blogging and the fucker can not make money himself but yet is writing on how to tell Google to fuck themselves geez.
Anyway my pleasure buddy.
On the links. All this guys that sell tagging software they say ohh come and buy this and get high Page Rank links bullshit all the links you will get will be PR0 but for around every 2000 PR0 links you get a PR2 anchored link so it is still sweet when you consider you can get 2k links in a few hours with the software doing it for you.
I hope this helped and sorry for my rant but the folks who read this site know how I am with my ADD LMAO
Thanks Vic.
The post and all the questions asked in the comments clears a lot of doubt.
My pleasure buddy
Vic,
I'm kinda confused about the one post with 10 or 11 pages concept.
If I post with BMD to a single site, lets say for example stimpy.com, and I add 10 tags to the post that are related to the article title and URL, it creates 10 pages? I am assuming that it takes each keyword tag and assigns it to its own "page" for if someone was searching for it…
Am I right or just to tired and blurry eyed? Maybe I need a beer or something…lol
Yup you got it right for every keyword you will get a page so it is another link
Vic,
You state, "I make about 45 post with 10 of those published the first day and then I spread the rest in about every 3 days."
Court only does about 10 posts for an entire niche blog.
Is this just a case of personal style, or do you have some other reason why you post so much (i.e., you go after harder niches)?
Thanks again for your wisdom!
-Marshall
Marshall this is one of those that is just how each has had success I have never tried it his way but if Court says it works for him it works for him I do it this way because of fresh content and how the Google bot sees new content on pages versus the algorithm.
I have always been using socialmarker.com to submit my articles. This is much for manual, but it is still a great free program. I think thatyou convinced me to buy BMD though.
Fred and also onlywire but in my case and is the reason I recommend so much BMD is that I can set and forget and continue building sites. Sometimes time is our most valued possession.
Okay Vic! The only thing I do not use on any of my blogs are these tags. Are they needed and is there a plugin I can use to get them on my site?
What is the seo benefit of tags over having blog categories?
Thanks!
Mike tags are more venues for the bots to reach your pages and Google loves tags.
vic gotta offtopic question how do I make my tag cloud look like yours? Mine suck. I like yours.
Pavs I can not see it on your site. It is really how it was coded on your css please can you put it up for me and see how it looks like.
Vic,
There is some serious weirdness going on with your site. Comments that I read an hour ago aren't showing up now. Yesterday I was able to read your last post if I clicked on the email feed but on your site it disappeared if I refreshed. Your center column shows all the latest comments but when I click on them to get to the post they disappear. Not sure if I am the only one experiencing this but it's been happening for a couple of days now. Maybe it's my browser or maybe you have been hacked.
At the moment my comments re: your Ping question are no where to be found yet they showed up an hour ago. Thought you should know in case you aren't noticing this on your end.
Still looks good here
Grizz something broke with Super-Cache and it started happening last night I just disabled it till I can figure out what is going on. I hope I can fix it quick so the server does not take the complete load on the traffic.
Vic,
I have noticed some weirdness using WP-cache also on my sites.
Try clearing the cache, disabling it, then re-enable it and see it that helps. If not, then you might need to delete and reinstall the plugin.
Excellent points. Greedyness can kill you when it comes to Google.
Gary my motto is to stay under the radar LMAO
Wow Vic I'm learning a lot from you and Courts. Finally I'm beginning to feel that I can really make serious money on the net. thanks so much for these great tips
The key is repetition and always move forward.
This might be an ignorant question, but when you create different accounts, do you need to use proxy servers? Thanks.
Sam if you have access to a solid proxy list do so. I use proxy's just so I can post to multiple accounts at the same time but if you do it one account per site per pass you should be fine with out a proxy
When creating anchored links, should I focus on the keyword for the post itself, or the overall keyword for the entire site?
Each individual page.
Vic,
Just wondering, when you set up your accounts how many do you set up 10, 20? And are these all with emails from the same domain (obv, difference addresses) or from emails such as hotmail etc?
Vic,
Is BMD meant for e-commerce sites as well? Can it be used to bookmark specific product listings that have detailed descriptions? Or I guess more specifically, is it worth using the program in this manner?
Vic,
I'm curious too. Is BMD useful for every type of site (such as ecommerce sites or Squidoo lenes) or should it only be used for WP blogs and BANS sites?
Rhonda
You can use it for all your sites
Vic,
Thank you. Your page has been a great insight for me. I have wasted my time and money on things like niche revolution and PLR Pro, while these have taught me some things, I have never been able to achieve the advertised results.
Bookmarking Demon got my attention a few weeks ago, but I have been hesitant to give it a go because I have been unsure about it's effectiveness, and the effectiveness of social bookmarking.
I will give Bookmarking Demon a shot I think, thanks to your advise.
Thanks.
Sarah
Hi Vic, just took your advice and bought BMD.
Ran the crawler on my first BANS site of 5 pages and got some 300 urls. When I look it seems that every product in the store has it's own url.
Wondering if I scuttle all 300 urls or is it better just to scuttle the 5?
Got started on my journey, BANS sites going up now, BMD to run soon. Thanks
If you are doing just scuttles fuck it do all of them but if you are doing legit sites make sure you hide all of the links and it would be way to many not to get banned so only do 5 max.
Thanks Vic, shall do.
I've been thinking a bit more about this.
I've set up my BANS site (new .info domain) I've run BMD and done social sites and scuttles. I've submitted articles. I've done comments.
I wonder now how google is going to see my site. I have a site suddenly appear with 300 urls, some thousands of backlinks and a heap with the same anchor text in them.
Isn't this going to set off alarms in google and make sure I'm sent right into the sandbox for a long time? Is this the right way to start a BANS site or have I followed all this stuff wrong? Just wondering if I'm putting my head above the parapet so fast that google will bite it off?
I just read this: http://optempo.com/2008/03/09/avoiding-the-google… and though to myself ohoh, I think I've done a lot of that stuff.
