Social Sharing
Your blog is only as good as it’s webmaster, and if you are not thinking about every single way you can get your visitors to both stay on your site AND share it, then you are doing something wrong. The ideal way to get your site all over the internet is to use the people who enjoy your content. By putting share icons on your site, such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg and many more, you are able to tap into lots of traffic that you would maybe never have reached.
There are lots of solutions, whether you have a blog or CMS, or even a HTML site. You can easily implement sharing within a few minutes.
Coming fully equipped with the most popular social sharing sites, Bookmarkify is a favourite among bloggers, along with Bookmark me. These neat little scripts will add a full range of social bookmarking and sharing devices/widgets so people can click and share instantly.
When you consider how popular Facebook is now, you would be a fool not to include a special little widget or tool to enable people to post their comments about your site on their wall. Viral bookmarking is something everyone wants to get involved in, and can start with pasting a few lines of code from Facebook’s Social Plugins page.
Along with Facebook, you should consider enabling a tweeting capability for Twitter users. One of the most popular tools for sites is TweetMeMe and their site will show you just how to get people to tweet their comments and simply link to your site (including a very handy URL shortener).
Now you have enabled all the sharing facilities on your site, you should look at finding plugins or code that will have your site doing this automatically every time you update the site.
