Scuttle Plus: Web 2.0 and Social Bookmarking
Thursday
Jul 17, 2008
After completing my 15th Scuttle Plus website, I began to realize that the Web 2.0 phenomenon is still kicking. if you are wondering what Scuttle is, it is an Open Source Social Bookmarking website script which allows anyone to create their own Social Bookmarking website like Technorati, Slurp, Furl, Digg, etc..
I was reading a marketing ebook several months ago which focused on Web 2.0 when I decided to look into Social Bookmarking and why anyone would want to own such a site. Web 2.0 works well in the Search Engines, so I thought to myself: Wouldn’t it be feasible to create profitability from a Social Bookmarking site??
The answer is definitely YES! After now creating 15 sites I average around $10 a day (give or take) in Adsense revenue from 10 of the sites. The last 5 are still being slowly worked in to Google and are randomly making anywhere from a few cents to $3 per day in Adsense revenue. You can easily do the math here: $10 x 10 websites/ day = $100 per day ($3000/ month).
So how did I get to this point? Rather easily actually. I first downloaded the Scuttle script for free from the SourceForge website here. Then after I struggled to get my first site complete, I started searching for a compliment, mod, plugin, or some type of add-on for the Scuttle script which would make it easier to manage and setup. That is when I came across the Scuttle Plus administrative backend for Scuttle. What Scuttle Plus provided was not only the ability to manage a Scuttle installation, but the ability to manage multple installations, manage the number of bookmarks left by members per day, delete members or ban them by name or IP, but most importantly, it has advanced features which allows you to add Google Adsense ads to your Scuttle sites quickly and easily. This addition amplified my site making speed and allowed me to focus on what my big picture was: Making Money with Social Bookmarking.
I soon had multiple sites built. I decided to start with 5 sites and I would go from there based on how successful my endeavor was. After giving my sites some dumb but flashy names (This will be kept secret for my benefit) I started working on getting my sites indexed in Google. It was easy. All I did was add my sites to both my RSS Bookmarker and Boomarking Demon installations and then slowly began bookmarking my own websites into the 5 new Scuttle Social Bookmarking sites I had built. The GoogleBot started gobbling up my Scuttle sites and in just a few days I was indexed.
Now if you know anything about Google and Scuttle Bookmarking sites, you will know that all of the Bookmarking programs used across the web which allow their users to add Scuttle sites to their automatic Bookmarking programs search Google and then add whatever new Scuttle sites they find to their bookmarking engines. What this does is it brings your Scuttle Social bookmarking sites a non-stop flood of constantly updated web traffic and new and relevant content. It keeps your sites fresh and also brings in new users who find your your site’s bookmarks and links in Google and other Search Engines. It is really a set it and forget it system which will out perform a lot of auto content generated Adsense revenue websites and your sites will not get banned! It is an easy way to make constant and consistent cash.
Update: One thing I did not comment on enough was the fact that you will receive a lot of websit e traffic from these sites. It is very easy to channel traffic from these sites to affiliate landing pages or to any website you wish by featuring your own links on the sites. This is the base for a great addition to the profitability of these sites.

No. This guy has jacked up most of his sites. I have tried to talk to him
several times and he basically has too many things going on. His sites used
to be organized and now quite a few of his Affiliate Links don't work right
or anything. I like his products and still use quite a few of them, but I
believe he is just way too busy and should outsource some of his tasks in
order to help him keep things straight.

Believe it or not, Mass Automation shuts their sites down on the weekends.
The guy who runs it is in France and he take the weekend thing pretty
seriously I guess. That same thing is posted each and every weekend. Try
again tomorrow.

This post is almost 2 years old. A lot has changed since then and I
probably need to go back and rewrite this entire post. Those other options
are probably better now than Scuttle Plus is.

I recently became a member of autoblogblueprint.com (anyone that isn't, I'll vouch for what that's worth)
If you haven't included it or though of it, it be greatly appreciated to update and/or expand in detail on the subject of starting social bookmarking sites.
I recently got BMD v5 so its kinda a “no brainer”.
Let me know if a donation would help..

kept me from updating it.

ABB 2.0 will have a massive backlinking and SOcial Bookmarking upgraded
technique in it. It is one of the features I am proudest of in the new
update.
