After a long development cycle, Bookmarking Demon 4.1 has finally been released. Edwin Brian, Bookmarking Demon's creator has completely rewritten the program from scratch and created a social bookmarking tool that is far superior to its predecessor. It has a completely revamped user interface and some great new features that make bookmarking your sites easy and safe. For those of you who haven't used Bookmarking Demon before, it is a Windows only software that automates the process of creating accounts and submitting pages to social bookmarking sites. It supports most of the major bookmarking sites, like Mister-wong.com, Delicious.com, and Spurl.net. Not only that, but it can also save your pages to the smaller, but more numerous Pligg, Scuttle, and Scuttle Plus sites. There are quite a few benefits from using a tool like Bookmarking Demon: Targeted backlinks - Using Bookmarking Demon, you can control what keywords your site gets found under by adding tags. Each tag will create its own page on a social bookmarking site. If you multiply the number of tags by the number of sites you've submitting to, you can calculate how many backlinks you will be receiving. Quickly index your sites - By using the new pinging feature of Bookmarking Demon 4, it tells the web spiders to check out your recently bookmarked sites and consequently gets your sites and pages indexed faster. Higher position in the SERPS - Bookmarking Demon 4.1 currently supports twenty different social bookmarking sites. Most of these sites will give you high Page Rank, do-follow links. For example, Furl.net currently has a PR of 7, which will pass along a lot of link juice back to your site. The more one-way backlinks you have to your site, the higher position your site will rank. When you first launch Bookmarking Demon 4.1, you'll notice the newly revamped interface. Instead of the bland look of the previous version, in its place is a more colorful and functional UI. There are now two separate modes of operation in Bookmarking Demon. Beginner mode hides away most of the advanced functionality and shows the user only the basic functions needed to operate the program. Expert mode, exposes everything. Advanced users will probably want to stay in this mode. Since you'll probably be submitting a page to multiple social bookmarking sites, Bookmarking Demon 4.1 introduces a new feature to help you avoid getting flagged for duplicate content. The new syntax for site descriptions and titles allows you to write something like: "Bookmarking Demon is an important tool for internet marketers. Bookmarking Demon will detect this new syntax and randomly choose one of the two words to use when bookmarking to a specific site. A favorite feature of mine is Bookmarking Demon's support of RSS feeds. In the preferences, you can choose different RSS feeds to add from your favorite sites (like CNN, Google News) and Bookmarking Demon 4 will take random items from these feeds to submit them along side your bookmarked pages. This lets you cloak your own sites, and decreases the chances that you get caught by a social bookmarking site for spamming your own content. This feature is still a little buggy in my experience, but the new ping feature is a nice addition to Bookmarking Demon 4.1. After you've finished submitting your sites, you can have Bookmarking Demon ping your social bookmarking site profile, along with the page that you bookmarked. This lets the search engines know to check out the site to see what's been updated. Doing this allows your sites to get indexed in the results very quickly. Bookmarking Demon 4.1 is a great new release from Edwin Brian. It is much easier to use than the old version, and it has a lot of nice useful features. If you are doing any SEO for your sites, Bookmarking Demon is a tool you need to have in your internet marketing toolbox. By using it regularly, you will get your sites indexed quickly, and increase their rank in the search results very fast. Although you could perform all these tasks by hand, Bookmarking Demon does it for you in an automated way. This saves you time, and as you know, time is money!
