Bookmarking Demon: Black Hat or Not?

If you want to make any progress with link building using social bookmarking software, Bookmarking Demon is definitely a workhorse that you’re going to want in your arsenal. The program was developed by Edwin Brian of EdwinSoft, and I can honestly say it is one of the best bookmarking tools on the market. Some people believe that the $97.00 price tag is a little steep, but for the efficiency that BMD affords, to me it’s hard to beat, and it’s a one-time investment that will pay large dividends in the future.

There have been several concerns raised by bloggers and internet marketers all over the Web about whether or not Bookmarking Demon is a spamming tool or a black hat tool. Let me make this clear. I believe that the person operating the software is ultimately what’s going to determine if a piece of software is either black hat or white hat. Blogger Generator is considered by and large to be a black hat tool, but even an innocent white hat can derive benefit from it without crossing the line over into abuse, if they simply do everything in moderation and within reasonable limits. Think about it: A hammer in the hands of a carpenter can build, but a hammer in the hands of a sociopath serial killer can destroy. Sorry for the somewhat crude analogy, but the point is that the tool is only as black hat or white hat as the person using it.

That being said, Bookmarking Demon is a bookmarking tool that definitely has the capability of being used for spamming purposes; you can create multiple accounts with each social bookmarking site, so it’s up to you if you want to be reasonable and create maybe two or three accounts per site, or if you want to be a complete idiot and create hundreds of accounts per site, which will get your accounts (all of them) banned in short order. If you want to go the black hat way, just be mindful not to create anything that you don’t plan on losing. You have to keep in mind that you may lose all that you were working for, so be reasonable and know your risk, whatever hat you choose to wear.

At the end of the day, Bookmarking Demon will accommodate you, regardless of what color your “hat” is. It is an excellent bookmarking tool that deserves an honest assessment and an honest try by any internet marketer.
