Automatic Social Bookmarking for Squidoo
Arr... This Be The Captain! Thanks for Stopping by to check out my piratey bag of Squidoo Tricks! If you are new here, you might want to get free updates and squidoo tricks delivered straight to you via RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
One of the most challenging aspects of having lots of lenses (or a few for that matter) is finding a quick and easy way to promote them.
Luckily, The Captain is here to come to the rescue. Below are 3 sites that can automate your lens promotion and build some serious backlinks along the way.
Note: In order to promote to social bookmarking sites, you need to have an account with them. Be prepared to sign up for a dozen accounts or more the first time you bookmark a lens. This could take up to half an hour. After that, it only takes a few minutes a lens.
Social Marker - This handy dandy site will walk you through 30 or so social bookmarking sites of your choice. I have my list narrowed down to 19 or so. You input your title, URL, description and tags on the first page and Social Marker auto-fills them for you as you bounce from site to site.
I had a problem with lenses breaking out of the frames every once in a while. If this happens just click the back button and refresh. you will have to fast forward to the last bookmarking sit you were on.
The fewer tabs with Squidoo loaded that I had open, the less it broke out of frames.
Social Poster - This site works almost the exact same way as Social Marker but has some different services that you can use.
Onlywire - this is basically one click bookmarking. You set up your accounts, and drag the button up to your toolbar. Click it and fill in the info and presto! instant bookmarks. The number of services available from Onlywire is less than either Social Poster or Social Marker, but it can act as a super quick bookmarker if you need to.

Hey Captain,
Have you had any problems with submitting too much? Get banned? How often do you submit and what do you submit?
Just Squidoo lenses or blog posts too?
How do you deal with the potential of negative backlash?

I’m submitting all kinds of stuff, from URLS of my other sites to Squidoo Lenses. I also try to look around and bookmark a few other popular posts so as not to be a total spammer. If you keep it within reason, you should be ok
