Less than a week ago I launched SocialMonkee, an instant link building solution allowing you to easily build 25 uniques backlinks to your pages every day, with the push of a button! SocialMonkee is free to join, and very easy to use, which partly explains why it’s growing very fast! Let me tell you how it all started…
I came up with the idea about two months ago… I wanted a way to get do-follow inbound links to my new pages and sites fast, so that they get indexed in the search engines quickly, but building such a system turned out to be more time-consuming and expensive than I originally thought. I stuck with the idea I had in mind and came up with this solution, which currently has 100 sites in the backend, all on different C-Class IP addresses, and a lot on different A-Class and B-Class IP addresses. Now let’s talk numbers…
To set this up would cost…
105 domains = $1,199 per year
Hosting with 100 C-Class IPs = $5,400 per year
System development = $3,000 one-time
Sites development = $10,000 one-time
Firefox Plugin development = $700 one-time
Maintenance fees = N/A
Copywriting expenses = N/A
Marketing expenses = N/A
TOTAL = $20,299
Still, you can join free… That’s why I need your support to spread the word about SocialMonkee, and get your friends to join, but that’s not the topic of this post! Let’s talk about the system itself: SocialMonkee will help you dramatically increase the number of backlinks to your pages, for better search engine indexing, rankings and traffic! This will give your pages extra online exposure.
If you realise the potential SocialMonkee has, you will quickly want to upgrade your account from Free to Premium. As a Free member, you can submit 1 URL to 25 sites, once every day, free. That’s a total of 175 backlinks every week, 750 every month. As a Premium Member, you can submit 1 URL to 100 sites, three times a day! That’s a total of 2,100 backlinks every week, 9,000 every month to your sites and pages! So if you have a lot of pages (on a blog or site) then Premium is a great option.
Premium members also get link reports and also RSS feeds of each project. This is vital to allow your links to get indexed. There is also an advanced video showing Premium members how to take their RSS feed and ping it to get your links indexed in the search engines.
The best part is… If you want to upgrade, you have two options. The first option consists of paying the ONE-TIME fee of $47. Pretty cheap, isn’t it? This is a one-time payment, meaning as you use the service, it works out cheaper and cheaper. Well, there’s an even cheaper option… The second option consists of referring 12 persons to SocialMonkee to get a FREE Premium Upgrade! Your account will automatically be upgraded to Premium when you reach 12 referrals.
Firefox Plugin
An important aspect of SocialMonkee is that you can submit a URL to the system from Firefox. With this plugin, all you need to do is to click a few times and your URL is submitted to 25 or 100 sites, depending on your membership level. Submitting a URL via the members area takes less than 2 minutes, but with this plugin it takes less than 1 minute!
If you kept reading until here and haven’t joined SocialMonkee yet, I’m wondering what you’re waiting for! Join SocialMonkee now, and build up to 300 backlinks to your pages TODAY! If you have any questions, suggestions or feedback, feel free to post a comment below, or on our brand new Facebook page! Please ‘Like’ it to help spread the word and support the maintenance of SocialMonkee! Thanks in advance!

I'm an avid fan of your blog, and the content is always top notch - great reading. I'm always impressed with the variety of content and the way you get all the important steps outlined for processes, but still manage to keep it short and simple - few people do that quite as well.

This is a great apllication for people who need to build links, however i am experiencing problems in that you can only submit your site once which means you only gain 25 backlinks to your main landing page.
Awesome tool dude, I will totally use it, i hope its really work
Regards
Awesome!! Thanks for made this free backlinks builder tool. I love Social Monkee 🙂
Hi Simon, thanks for the comment. The reason for that is to prevent lots of repeat listings that add no value to any visitor to the bookmarking sites and also add very low value for your rankings. After you have a link to that page from that domain and IP, a 2nd and 3rd etc. will not give nearly the same value as the first link.
If you have a blog, you can submit each page though, so it means 25 backlinks (100 if upgraded) on each new post you make etc.
Yeah i just wondered if i was doing something wrong. Its a brilliant tool guys keep up the good work i owe you one.
Hey Colin,
Great work developing SocialMonkee!
I am testing it to promote a new business opportunity that will belaunching a very profitable credit card affiliate program. (See my link above)
I am only going to use the Social Monkee, everyday for a month for the keyword “Match Rate Plus” for this test.
Already in two days, my site is now on the first page of Google for the Keyword and moving up! Try Googling “match rate plus” and look for MRPAffiliates.com.
Thanks and I am looking forward to exploiting the Monkee!

Hi Colin,
Sounds like a great tool I just have one question. What kind of links are these? Comment, in text? Social Bookmark?
Thank You,
Damon
Hi Colin
Great product, thank you – think I may well upgrade just for the report function.
Couple of questions:
1. What’s the highest and lowest PR of the sites the links go to? I’ve been asked by someone else who is interested but whose internet connection is currently stuffed!
2. My question: There are three “Content” boxes – are these meant for an article or for a summary? If the former, presumably you will need 3 different versions?
Many thanks
Nic
That’s excellent Colin !!! I’ve been looking a lot for free tools to get backlinks like this one. I am using Onlywire, IMautomator and now SocialMonkee !
On my way to get Premium…
Thanks
Hi,
I’m interested in your service but I just have a few quick questions. Say I upgrade that means I get 100 links a day or 9000 links a month. How many social bookmarking sites does social monkee submit to. After a while of using your service will i not be just submitted to the same sites over and over again. How long can I go using your service (for a single website) before I start to get backlinks from duplicate sites
I have just joined the social monkey and it seems good to me now and I might upgrade my account to pro if it would work well for couple of days 🙂
Hi Damon,
They are social bookmark links, but are set to do-follow so you get the juice 🙂 thanks for the support
Hi Nic,
Firstly, thank you for upgrading in ViralNetworks, looking forward to getting to know you.
1) There are a few with some Pr 2’s most don’t have and that is because they were built over the last year. Google has not updated any site pr for over 10 months, and I am not sure it is even such a big factor in their rankings
2) The system spins the content to ensure your pages are more unique. It will take 1 title, 1 body and 1 set of keywords for each site it posts too. You can just copy and paste them if you don’t mind them all being the same. The content can be from 1-2 lines to a whole paragraph or more if you liked 🙂
Once again, thanks for the support
Hi 🙂
Thanks very much for the support… Any feedback or improvement suggestions would be great.
Hi Cyrus,
It submits to 100 sites, and it would be only 1 page can be submited each time. Other people can vote on your content, but you cant submit the same content more than once at the moment.
So you can submit each page on your site or blog for example 🙂
Hi Kevin,
Great to hear that, there is a big advantage of going to premium, many more sites and reports and RSS feeds 🙂
Hi Colin,
Thanks for the welcome to Viral Networks – I’m looking forward to getting to know you and others there.
On SocialMonkee, I paid for the upgrade, PayPal Transaction ID: 0TJ93762GX6641337. The upgrade has not been recognised. I’ve cleared the browser cache and tried logging in again to no avail.
I’ve lodged a ticket but I’m not sure it went through as I had a few internet gremlins this weekend!
Have a greatw eek

Hi Colin,
Tried to join and did… I never got a confirmation email. I also try the “forgot password” and I still never get an email.
Why?
Just signed up, will be interesting to test this 🙂
One thought – will there be a WP-plugin to automatically submit one version of link-data?
An awesome tool that you have created and excellent how you have taken into consideration those non-technical users.
Do you plan an affiliate, API or an iframe?
I ask since we are building a blogging platform using wordpress and the key thing is to try to make all processes as easy as possible. I think this would be a great tool to addon.
In my mind I am thinking that the user from the backend can purchase the service and then sees a control panel that scans pages on the site [could be done using a plugin] and populates each page automatically and submits.
Mike Little [co-founder of wordpress] is involved in this project so we do intend to make it a big thing long term and your service will add real value.
Give me a shout on the email but I am here notified to follow ups

Hi Colin
I have just registered for SocialMonkee but for some reason my username/password is not recognised. Requested a new password, which I received, but that didn’t work either.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Miche
Hey Colin,
Nice little setup here. Excited to see how it works after I just signed up. Took less than five minutes to sign up and get a site submitted.
Thanks!
Hello:
I have Firefox 4.0 and when I try to download the plugin I get the following message:
“socialmonkee could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 4.0b7.”
Please let me know if you’ll be updating the compatibility with this version of Firefox.
Thank you 🙂
Selina
Great work, am loving social monkee. Have signed up for free at the moment but if this is as good as it looks I’ll be upgrading soon!
Colin,
I found this on a forum and I’m giving it a try. I’ve also posted the aff link around to try and ‘earn’ my way to premium.
You mention that the postings are on 100 backend sites at the moment and possibly of little PR at this time. Surely the more bookmarks you add, the less those sites themselves will be able to hold onto their own link juice. Are you doing any SEO for those 100 sites to increase their ranking, such as profile links, forums, comments, articles etc etc?
In the er,,, unmentionable B*W forum where I found your link, there were comments that perhaps this couldn’t last as a free site. I’m one of the guys who defended your new system saying that ‘its worth a try’ and of course, because we like to share things, I will report back when or if I see links indexed (if I can find them). The point is, in that one forum, there is hundreds of thousands of dollars of marketing muscle and alot of very serious players. Get adopted there and you’re in the zone. Obviously.
So, to my question again. How are you driving the 100 sites upwards? Will pro members ‘run out of juice’ if they have only a few sites to play with?
Hi Samuel, Might have been a server lag, if you are still having trouble, please visit: http://www.reply2colin.com and open a ticket, we will sort you out asap
Hi Michelle, Might have been a server lag, if you are still having trouble, please visit: http://www.reply2colin.com and open a ticket, we will sort you out asap
Thanks Chris for kind words, we are looking to make it better still
Hi Rhys,
Thank you, the support is great. We are hoping to continue to add features and improve the site more and more.
Hi Mate,
Free members don’t post on 75% of the sites that premium do. Yes we are also promoting those sites as we go, driving links to the Bookmarking sites and many of them are very well indexed already.
We might even add more sites as we go, depending on how many upgraded members we get, as we are still running a loss 🙂
The site can last and we will do everything we can to ensure it keeps getting better… thanks for supporting me! 🙂
If you are a premium, you will get reports with all your links and an RSS feed to do some pinging and backlinking to ensure they get indexed.
Azzam,
Hi mate, thanks for contacting me! I will grab your email out of WP now. Yeah we plan to add an affiliate program that pays commissions, that is one of our future plans, I can arrange something for you at any time. Regarding API, If you let me know what you need, I can arrange it with the programmer.
I like your idea and think it can work well. Our plan is to keep growing and improving. We are almost at 4,500 members in 15 days since I put the site live and 100 premium members, so people love it and I plan on focusing on it a fair bit more then i did when i launched it if you know what I mean 😉
Great idea!
Yet I tried to sign up and never got a email confirmation. It won’t let me sign in and it won’t let me sign up again. Also there is no email support on the site so I searched around for you. Eager to sign up!
Thanks
Ron McKinney
i watched the how to istll video but i cannot install.
how do i get the firefox…. my options are opera and explorer thanks.
Colin,
There are a bunch of things you do right here, and a few you could probably do a little better. From a technical standpoint your posts are not “perfect”, but the links are there and probably gets indexed now and then making this service very valuable!
But for us people outside of the US you have to solve the UTF8-issues. For keywords containing åäöü and so on, the resulting pages gets ugly – but worse, doesn’t get indexed for the targeted words.
Posted a ticket with more information and possible help. Hope you find it worth looking into..
/Mike
Hi Colin, this is a fantastic system. The 100 websites you’ve built are all beautifully done, and high quality. I’m very impressed by the reporting, and the appearance of all the backlinks. My only real concern, is whether or not the 100 sites will be recognized by the search engines as part of an organized backlinking system, and what potential that has to hurt the participating members. Your thoughts?
call me stupid but my url is easy however what is the description, and tag supose to contain im guessing the description is about my site but what about the tags, and the titles x 3….why is there 3 and only one url
This is a good application but I still do not find a valid reason to upgrade to premium version. I would like to have ability to submit atleast 5-10 links per day. This will help us to automate submission for large blogs.
Anyway all the best for your project. This tool really looks promising.
Hi Selina,
Please try to download it again, my programmer said he would update it and reupload. So it should work now 🙂 Thanks very much
Ron,
Sorry to hear that, Please visit: http://reply2colin.com/ and open a ticket. If you give the email and mention it is for SocialMonkee, they will activate your account and send you the info
Hi,
Please then don’t worry about the plugin. Use the submitter in the site. If you login to socialmonkee.com and click on ‘Download Plugin/Submit Websites’ you will see a place to submit from there. Just do that each time 🙂 thanks
Mike, thanks for the feedback… I asked Julien to pass on my skype info in the ticket you made on the helpdesk. Maybe we can chat soon
Hi Gene,
I hope they won’t be and we will continue to add more sites on new ips etc. as long as members support SM (SocialMonkee) so that it covers expenses. – We also hope that we are not and never get big enough to hit their radars. There are services doing much worse 😛
BUT – please note, your site will never be penalized for using the system, only our sites can be. Inbound links can’t affect a site negatively or else people will drive bad links to their competitors to hurt them, so it will never happen 🙂
Hi Paul, No qs. is a stupid one 🙂
They are what is posted on pages we make as content. It is good to make them different as our system takes 1 from each field (Title, Description, Tags) randomly, so each page can be as unique as possible 🙂
Here is the user guide: http://www.socialmonkee.com/SocialMonkee_User_Guide.pdf
Colin,
I had to come back and respond to my own post above to let everyone know that the problem was not soical monkee but it was ME! I was half asleep and did not put in my email correctly. Your guys responded very quickly and reset my account so I joined with no problem. If this is the kind of service you folks offer on all of your products, you can count me as a perpetual customer!
Thanks
Ron McKinney
I came across a link to this tool on a Swedish SEO forum. If it works, this is exactly what I have been looking for. Great job!!
Hi Colin,
Unfortunately this has been a pretty poor experience so far.
I enrolled, paid for the upgrade from inside my member area, but received no upgrade access nor an email acknowledging the upgrade payment. Everything shows I still have access to only 25 per day, no access to reports, no upgraded video trainings.
I don’t really understand if the upgrade is paid for from within my own password coded member area why it doesn’t credit the payment and automatically upgrade my access right then and there.
Sent in a ticket about 26 hours ago marked “critical” since I paid for the upgrade, finally got a reply over 6 hours later (happened overnight here in the states), but your support person just said I’m already upgraded and went on to her next ticket.
Everything in my member area says I have access to 25 per day. The “reports” page tells me I don’t have access and that I should upgrade, there’s an upgrade prompt in the top menu on every page…there are upgrade prompts all over the place and there are no additional video trainings, so I’m fairly certain I’m not upgraded.
She may have looked at payments or databases or something else, but apparently did not actually verify what is happening from the member side of things. Not good on her part.
So then I had to re-open the ticket I believe almost 9 hours ago now and still no reply as of yet.
Over 24 hours since I paid, one incorrect reply to my ticket, still have no upgrade access.
Seems like the free members who had issues in the thread above got solved in good order, but shouldn’t a paying customer get some extra level of care? This should have been solved promptly the first time when I reported it yesterday, but the ticket reply was very slow and then wrong to boot. Second request now is also very slow in response.
Sorry to sound blunt about it, but I am a bit cheesed off at the lack of urgency in response in what is now 2 trips to the help desk that shouldn’t have been needed in the first place.
What a fantastic product I am just loving ot
Hi Colin,
I absolutely love the service, thank you very much!
I’m a free member and was wondering if you would consider
additional payment options like PayPal, or AlertPay for the
upgrade?
Best Regards,
Karen.
Hi Ron,
Thank you for the kind words. We hope that we are able to always deliver more than promised. I hope you enjoy SocialMonkee.
Hi 🙂
Thank you! We have been told it has some problems with Swedish Characters. Our programmer is looking into that for us so I hope we can get it working in your language as well 🙂 Please let me know your feedback 🙂
