Bookmarking Demon Review: The Scuttle Sites Feature

I haven’t even covered the whole gambit of features that Bookmarking Demon has, but suffice it to say that it is a social bookmarking software that is on par with any in its class, and in my opinion, it’s one of the best out there. I know some people might say “Yeah, well, you’re an affiliate, so of course you’re going to say those things.” I do promote Bookmarking Demon through my affiliate link, no doubt, but I can honestly say that I’m practicing what I preach here…actually, it’s better to say that I’m preaching what I practice. I’m using the software, and I have found it to be an absolute essential tool in my arsenal.

One of the features of Bookmarking Demon that is a definite plus is the Scuttle Search feature (known as “Multiscuttle”). Basically what the Scuttle Search does is scour the web to find any website that runs the Scuttle script, which is basically an open-source script that enables any webmaster to create their own social bookmarking site. Who knows, there may be another Delicious or Digg out there in the making…in the meantime, Scuttle sites abound on the Web, and while they may not carry much weight in Google’s eyes, they are still one of the easiest places in the world to get links (most of the time dofollow as well), with the least amount of hassle. Shoot, with Bookmarking Demon, you can automatically register accounts on anywhere between 25 to 35 Scuttle sites at any given time, and you don’t even have to verify the accounts through your email address or anything; they don’t have CAPTCHA’s either. Once this is done, just click “Bookmark!” and you’re good to go; with the proper tagging techniques, you can generate tons of anchored links to whatever site you’re trying to promote.

Even though you can garner a truckload of links through doing Scuttle runs with Bookmarking Demon, don’t get ridiculously greedy and bookmark the same URL about 50 times per site. I don’t know how else to put it than to say that it’s just bad taste to do that. Be sensible, be reasonable, and most of all be patient. The links will count when they get counted, and you’ll see the effects of your efforts soon enough.

I have made it a rule to do about two Scuttle runs per day, one run in the morning and one run at night, for whatever URL I’m promoting. This is reasonable (with proper tagging of course, which we’ll go over in a future post). It’s not out of line to do even three or four runs, as long as you vary the links and the anchor text. Just do your best to not appear like a total spammer.

Again, the Scuttle sites are yet another effective bookmarking tool featured in Bookmarking Demon. I know that with the July upgrade, this feature will more than likely gain even more functionality, so it would be well worth the investment to get BMD before the upgrade takes place. Give it a shot for yourself and you’ll see how cool it is.
