Just got the email today that Bookmarking Demon 5 is official out and available. This is absolutely great news since BMD4 was having all sorts of trouble as of late. I’ll post a follow up post on my thoughts of the new features, and how the migration of accounts went (basically, I’ll put together a full review of Bookmarking Demon 5). I’m particular excited about the scheduler feature where you can drip submit to bookmarking sites, and the inclusion of phpDug sites.

If you’re unfamiliar with Bookmarking Demon, it’s a great piece of software where you create social bookmarking accounts and submit sites to them. You can create many accounts, and also submit ‘filler’ RSS feeds to make your bookmarking submissions seem more natural. By creating a level of bookmark backlinks you can help increase your rank in the SERPs and eventually gain more traffic. Granted this quality of traffic seems pretty poor in general, but the SERP position is the greatest benefit of the tool… and that’s the traffic you want in the long run.

A word of warning, if you do not make this look natural and are clearly self-promoting your ‘money sites’, then you could be de-indexed from Google or have specific social bookmarking accounts banned. The trick is to promote pages relating to your site, not your sites directly.

The bottom line, it’s a great tool for generating backlinks and search traffic to your sites. It’s awesome tool for the fact that it saves you a ton of time by doing things for you vs. manually doing it by hand. You should really check out the promotional video.. since is shows some of the features.

- Browser mode. You get to see what is happening right in front of you.
- Multi-threading for both account creation and bookmarking.
- New open source bookmarking script PHPDug added.
- Added a Scheduler.
- Email verification system added.
- A better project management system.
- Visual aid (coming soon)

If you already have a licensed version of BMD4, this is a free download.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about Submit Edge directory service. I decided to give them a shot, since a few friends/associates seem to be using them as well.

My initial test was with a single web site (store front type of site). It was showing some decent potential in earnings, but not well indexed in the search engines. I figured I would see what I could do with this site and improve it’s overall ranking as well as specific keyword ranking.

I purchased the 200 directory submission service package – 7 days plan. It took exactly 7 days for me to get the report. The report was very nice, breakdown of directory and PR related to that directory. They also created a gmail account which they use as the submission email. Logging into this account, I verified that they did indeed submit to the directories listed. Some of the directories denied the listing, but the majority of them accepted the listings.

Now we’re a few weeks after the submissions, and I’m starting to see backlinks being indexed (mostly in Yahoo). Turning on my SEO Elite, I can run a few reports, and verify that some of the directories are being indexed with my link there, as well as increase on keywords that I used when I submitted the site to those directories.

I think the service is a absolute bargain. $25 dollars to submit to those directories saved me a lot of time, and I’m starting to see some results. I’ll continue to monitor this domain, but will be submitting a few new Amazon store sites next and see if I can kick start some traffic and increase keyword rank. Overall, thumbs up on this service!
