Can we use the service? They require monthly payment for bookmarks/links. The bookmarks allegedly are in categories of hub subject.
I would not recommend using that or any similar automated link building service to promote your Hubs (or any other site really). I believe that would constitute participating in a link scheme, which violates the Google Webmaster Guidelines and also the AdSense Program Policy.
Links from bookmarking sites aren't worth all that much anyway. They were useful once, in the days when Google blindly counted every single link no matter where it was. That's why these services sprang up, and they continue to make money because so many people don't know they're outdated.
These days, Google considers what kind of site the link is on - and they'd be pretty stupid not to know that most directories are created solely so writers can post links, wouldn't they?
A hubber talked about this site at one time, and people became interested - about three years ago. I think people got on the bandwagon at that time. Later, it changed and became a charged site. When it was no pay, it may have been ok, but maybe not. Thanks for info. Paul and Marisa.
Three years ago, IMAutomator was a worthwhile service - because three years ago, Google was impressed by links like that. A great deal has changed since then.
In the beginning it was free, and they changed it to payment only. I was right that we cannot use it. Thanks for the confirmation.

I just joined it a few days ago, and have posted bookmarks to almost all of my hubs.I wrote the three or four sentences for each, but not copied from my hub at all.When you post to Snipsly, is it wise to keep the same title as your hub? Or would you change it slightly?I like Snipsly so...

I get these kinds of comments literally every freaking day. It's obviously for some sort of spam reason, but I can't figure out what. Here's an example:"Unquestionably believe that that you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to take into accout of. I say to...
