Some of the features of the new page include:

• Sorting by all columns
• Searching on all fields (makes it so much easier to find specific bookmarks)
• Ability to display between 10-100 records per page
• Quicker page load time than old page
• Now showing Domain and URL, which are very useful when sorting or searching

So what are ya waiting for?   Go check out the new page (Bookmarks > My Bookmarks) and let us know your thoughts

If you don’t like the new page, the old page is still available (you’ll see a link in the top right corner that says >> Old Page <<).  We plan to keep it up for a while so that people have time to adapt to the new page.

This new functionality is release v2.72.

• Added a new social media site:  Chime.in.  It’s a fairly new and completely custom social networking / microblogging site that could become quite popular.  It already has an impressive Alexa rating of < 5,000.
• Bug fix where if bookmark title had special characters the history export CSV filename would become corrupted.

Cheers!

BacklinksIndexer

In our tests, we managed to increase the indexing rates of a random set of over 400 social media account URLs by nearly 50% (48% to be exact) over a 3 week period.  That’s huge.

Why is it important for backlinks to be indexed?

It’s widely believed in the SEO business that backlinks aren’t valuable unless they are visible in Google’s index (by doing a site: or info: search for the url in Google).  I personally think links can also be valuable (possibly less valuable though) if Google decides not to show them in their index, but that’s just my opinion.  My reasoning is that many sites use the noindex meta tag, but why should this mean that links from these pages to other pages should be ignored in determining rankings?

What does this mean to SocialAdr members?

All social media links created by SocialAdr will now be processed by BacklinksIndexer.   We’re not charging anything extra for this new feature, and there’s nothing you need to do to enable it for your account.

By boosting the indexation rates, this should increase the “link juice” or SEO benefit of these links.  As far as exactly how much effect this should have on rankings, we’re not sure, but if you happen to notice any differences, we’d love to hear about it.

• You can now get affiliate commissions paid out with SocialAdr credits (at an awesome rate of 1 cent = 1 credit), rather than PayPal
• Updated StumbleUpon and MySiteVote connectors to have better error reporting
• Added ability to export CSV SubmissionBoost results at the bookmark level (rather than for ALL bookmarks)
• Free members can no longer receive Tweets, they can only send Tweets to earn credits
• We’ve reduced the credits earned by Tweeting and normal bookmark shares by 1/2.  This is because we realized after adding Twitter and Google +1 that Free users were able to earn way more credits than originally intended.

Merry Christmas!

We want to wish all our members a very Merry Christmas!  We’ve had an amazing year and added a lot of awesome features to SocialAdr.  We owe much gratitude to our members for recommending new features, helping test them, and of course helping to promote SocialAdr.

A look back at 2011

Here’s a few of the major SocialAdr events from this year:

• Twitter integration!
• Added the “Autofill” button to the “Add Bookmark” page to help save you time
• StumbleUpon integration!
• Reached milestones of 10,000 and then 20,000 members
• Added the ability to download submission history
• Google +1 integration!
• Submission limits can now be removed completely

A gift for you

As a special thank-you for your support, SocialAdr is giving everyone 100 free credits!

To get your free credits:

1. Login to your account or Sign-Up for an account if you don’t have one
2. Go to the Instant Credits page

• Added “History Download” for individual bookmarks.  This has been requested by several people doing SEO consulting that need to send complete history to their clients.  Now it’s much, much easier!  Just go to History > My Bookmarks, click on the “Submission Count” field for the bookmark you want history for, then scroll to the bottom and enter dates, then click “Download”.
• Updated spintax function to be more robust.  It can now handle multi-nested spin tags and has better spintax error reporting. This function is used to spin your bookmark Titles and Descriptions during submission to the social media sites.
• Improved the connector code for Diigo, MySiteVote, SiteSays, and SoForce social bookmarking sites to have better submission rates and error reporting.

What do I need to do to receive Google +1 clicks?

If you already have a ‘Lazy’ account, absolutely nothing.  If you don’t, you just need to upgrade.  Free members cannot receive +1 clicks.

Where can I view the history of +1′s I’ve received?

You can view your history at History > Google +1 Received

How many credits does it cost for each +1?

Only 10 credits.  We believe this is very competitive based on the pricing of other +1 services.

How can I opt-out of receiving +1 clicks?

You can disable +1 for all your bookmark URLs here.

The rollout of Google +1 is SocialAdr release v2.68.

• Added the ability to export SubmissionBoost history to CSV file
• Updated the History > Stats page to be easier to read

• Added a new social networking site – ConnectFocus.
• If you have enough credits, the SubmissionBoost checkbox on the “Add Bookmark” page will now be checked by default when you go to add a new bookmark.  This is to encourage the use of SubmissionBoost because it’s a great way to get more variety in your link building.

• The “Spin Preview” on “Add Bookmark” page code has been updated so now every time you click it you’ll see a new spun result.  Previously it would cache the result and you’d keep seeing the same thing over and over.  Read this post to learn more about spintax / spin tags.
• Made updates to our bookmark submission engine to improve error reporting and reduce the stalling of threads.  What does this mean to SocialAdr members?  A higher submission rate = more promotions of your webpages = higher search engine rankings = more traffic.
• Added an “Email address (again for verification)” field to the registration form to help reduce the number of times people have typos in their email addresses and thus never receive the verification email and cannot log into their account.
• Performed server configuration changes to improve page load times.
• Improved error reporting and submission logic for the following social media sites:  SoForce, Connotea, FriendFeed, TTLink, MySiteVote.
