Is it really worth using automated social bookmarking programs when u need to submit 5-10 links in 10 bookmarking sites?
I do quality work but for this blog quality and quantity matters so if i will start bookmarking 10 articles into 10 sites which means 10*10= 100 bookmarks whatelse i will do after that.
You can use automated tools and I don't think there is any problem with this. There are some good Semi-automated tools like Onlywire.com and Socialmarker.com that you can use this time as your needs are not too much. While both of them need you to make an account on each social bookmarking sites, bookmarking methodology of both are slightly different.
I tried the free version of automated social bookmarking before anf it's doing quiet well. Lately i stop using this because their site now takes time to send my bookmarks to different social bookmarking site.
Worth checking the automated submissions actually go through, found a number of mine hadn't so reverted to doing it manually.
If possible you should avoid automated and focus on maual. Because automated consider a black hat technique
