Do you have a SHARE BUTTON on your blog? Regardless of the blogging platform, most blogs use some kind of SHARE BUTTON for social bookmarking. SHARE buttons enable you to easily bookmark a blog post on various social bookmarking sites.
There are many services that will give you a button for your blog. I am going to list a few below. Before you decide on a service check the following:
- How many bookmarking services do they provide?
- Is the menu user friendly for your visitors?
- Provide customization options?
- Tracking?
- Plugin or widgets for which blog platforms?
- Are the buttons big enough for your visitors to see? (This is a real concern for me. I like bigger size for those who do not need to strain their eyes.
Here are a few SHARE buttons for your consideration.
