So, I've submitted my baked ravioli recipe, and now I wait on the report. It can take as much as a day, although I've found I can usually get the report within about 12 hours. Usually, if I'm good about getting in a groove, I'll check it before submitting my URL for the day. That way I'm not waiting for it.
Since I submitted this before I wrote this guide, I'm able to show you the report. Here's the screenshot:

Before I submitted my URL, I did not rank anywhere in the top 100 for either baked ravioli recipe, or easy baked ravioli recipe. I submitted on 30-April-2011, and using Scroogle's Scraper, I find I rank for 38 for "baked ravioli recipe" and 25 for "easy baked ravioli recipe. Whether it's due to SocialMonkee or Google finally seeing my page, I don't know, but that's quite the jump.
I did have a site that was ranking in the 60-70 spot range for a while, and I submitted the URL to SocialMonkee. It jumped up to space 8 or 9, and after I submitted some articles, it's not sitting and taking up spaces 4-6 on it's search term. I can't say that's concrete proof since I'm not a guru, SEO master, or an employee of Google.
Give SocialMonkee a shot, it's a quick way to build backlinks to your website or article without spending a lot of time. Have a comment about it? I'd love to hear it, good or bad.
I haven't used it on articles yet, but I think that would be an excellent use for it. Since articles don't usually need a lot of backlinks, one submission with SocialMonkee should be enough to help them rank.
