Server Side Social Bookmark Automation - RSS Bookmarker

Posted by admin admin in social bookmarkSEO toolautomationarchitecture

Running in the middle of the price pack, at $297, RSS Bookmarker has several distinguishing features:

  • Clear and present Privacy Policy and TOS
  • Clear return policy (30 Day MBG)
  • Promise of lifetime support
  • Reporting

Site Support

RSS Bookmarker claims to support 34 sites, which is near the bottom range compared to the direct-post URL products reviewed earlier. I should note that the video example shows only 5 sites in the dropdown.

All sites supported are bookmarking sites (delicio, etc) and not Digg (or Pligg) style sites.

Server Side ... Follies?

RSS Bookmarker PHP that runs on the server side. Obviously this leaves out 99% of potential users, a gutsy move for a $300 package competing against free offerings.

If the key feature you're looking for is server-side, cron-job drive, self extendable software, then this is the only package for you out of all the semi-automated tools under review.

Reporting

Thank you, thank you, thank you. As best I could tell from the video the error/success reporting is not exportable, but because the product is written in PHP, I am sure that there is a file out there with everything you need to manipulate it into shape.

Key Features Claimed

In order to make the automation "seem more natural" the dashboard allows you to schedule or randomize posts and keywords to the 34 claimed sites or to Super/Scuttle sites that you can find and add on your own.

Please note that any account that are create must be done outside the tool, manually, and the username/password entered.

The concept of a feed creating bookmarkable items is clearly laid out, in the video. This is a powerful automation tool concept, partially because it forces the user to organize and plan over a longer haul.

Capability Grid

The product looks to have around a dozen feature points, but they are all dead on target. And because of the ongoing automation feature, it is actionability overwhelms the simplicity, making it rank well into the upper right hand grid, well above the free competition.

Summary Grade - B

If you are looking for the following features:

  • Bookmark only, no Digg-style sites
  • Backend powered
  • Super/Scuttle focused

Then this is probably the beast for you. Special kudos for the best short video explanation of how something like this works.
