Here’s the latest changes we’ve rolled into SocialAdr:

• The ‘My Recent Bookmarks’ Dashboard Widget now displays all bookmarks, even if they’re inactive.

• You can now edit inactive bookmarks(either you’ve ran out of credits or manually paused them)
• You can now start any paused bookmark on the ‘My Bookmarks’ page regardless of how many credits you have.
• A “Submissions of your Bookmarks” counter has been added to the top bar so it’s super easy to see how much value you’re getting from your account.  This indicates the number of successful submissions of your own bookmarks to the social bookmarking services.

We’ve added a new field to the Add Bookmark page called “Category”.

The purpose of this is so that we can start sending bookmarks to social bookmarking services that require categories.  There’s quite a few of them so this opens up a lot more possibilities for integration.

We strongly recommend that you update your existing Bookmarks.  If you don’t then we won’t be able to send your bookmarks to any site we integrate with that uses categories.  So any time anyone Shares your bookmarks you’ll be missing out on potential backlinks.

If you can’t find a category that’s a perfect match for your bookmark, just pick the most appropriate one.

This new functionality is the v2.15 release.

The latest SocialAdr enhancement (v2.14) gives you the ability to SPIN the bookmark Title and Description.

Spin Tags are used to dynamically convert a single piece of text into many unique variations.  The idea is to use psynonyms throughout the text which are then ’spun’.  We’ve decided to use { for the start tag | for the separator and } for the end tag. If you’re really hardcore you can even use nested SPIN tags!

 

Example:

SocialAdr {automated|autopilot|bookmark} backlinks are great for {SEO|Search Engine Optimization}

Result: (one sentence turns into 6)

• SocialAdr automated backlinks are great for SEO
• SocialAdr autopilot backlinks are great for SEO
• SocialAdr bookmark backlinks are great for SEO
• SocialAdr automated backlinks are great for Search Engine Optimization
• SocialAdr autopilot backlinks are great for Search Engine Optimization
• SocialAdr bookmark backlinks are great for Search Engine Optimization

The benefits of using SPIN tags for your Bookmarks are:

1. You can use multiple keywords (tags) in the Title, with the help of SPIN tags.  This means that rather than having hundreds of backlinks to your URL all using the same anchor text, you get a variety of different anchor texts, using different targeted keywords.  Variety is good!
2. You get multiple unique variations of the Description text.  It’s arguable how beneficial this is in regards to social bookmarking, as many of the sites allow NO description.  There’s also debate on whether search engines care about the uniqueness of content on a page where a backlink originates from.  However, at least you’d be playing it safe by spinning your Descriptions.

How do I use the new SPIN tag functionality?

It’s easy!  Log into SocialAdr.  Go to the Add Bookmark page.  Enter the details of your new bookmark, making sure to use the SPIN tag format as described above.  Remember that only the Title and Description can be spun.  Then click the Spin Preview link for each entity to verify that your SPIN tags are entered properly.   Save the bookmark as normal.

You can also Edit your existing bookmarks and add in the SPIN tags.   Just go to Bookmarks – My Bookmarks.  Click the Title of the bookmark you want to edit.  Then click the Edit link.  You’ll be taken to the form with all the existing details filled out.  Make whatever changes you’d like and click Save.

 

What about Tags?

We haven’t forgotten about Tags.  It didn’t seem appropriate to allow SPIN text for them, but what we’ve done is randomize their order and use a subset (at least half) of them when the bookmarks are submitted to the social bookmarking services.

Example:

Original Tags

• social bookmarking, bookmarking software, bookmarking tools, socialadr, backlinking

Tags used for the bookmark submission

• bookmarking tools, backlinking, socialadr, social bookmarking

If your time is valuable, you likely don’t like spending it doing menial, repetitive tasks such as creating social bookmarking accounts.

Well you’re in luck!  We now have a new option as part of the Setup Wizard which charges a small 1-time fee (currently $7) for us to create all your (17) social bookmarking service accounts.  This process can often take over an hour.  Luckily we’ve got a team of minions that are really good at it

Here’s what you’ll get:

• A new email address (either Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail) and password
• All 17 accounts created and email verified (unless any of the sites are offline)
• An email containing the credentials of your new accounts
• Peace of mind knowing it’s been done properly and no steps were missed
• Turnaround is typically within 24 hours

This is part of the latest release, v2.13.   Also, we’ve unfortunately had to disable the Faviki service as we were having technical issues sending it data.

We’ve added a new social bookmarking service – URL.ORGanizer

Here’s what they have to say about themselves:

• Store all your favourite links in one place, accessible from anywhere.
• Share your bookmarks with everyone, with friends on your watchlist or just keep them private.
• Tag your bookmarks with as many labels as you want, instead of wrestling with folders.

We also have begun using a new email marketing provider (autoresponder), Imnica. Seems to have lots of cool features! This will enable us to communicate better with you guys!
