Earlier I wrote a post about the ShareThis plugin for WordPress. It was a good plugin. But I removed it, due to some theme related problems. Now, I am using the AddThis widget. It is another cool online tool, that makes social bookmarking a lot easier to your blog visitors. It is very easy to install. They have a plugin for WordPress blogs. But it is not essential. It works within minutes, and you need to add just a simple code to your theme.
Why AddThis is Cool?
- Easy Bookmarking - Makes it easy for your visitors to bookmark your content and subscribe to your feeds.
- Promotes Your Blog - Helps send your content to social bookmarking services, which brings back more traffic to you.
- Increases Your Rankings - Increases your link popularity, which is a very important factor in increasing search engine rankings.
- Removes Clutter - No need to include different buttons for each bookmarking service.
- Easy to Install - Can be installed on almost anywhere with a few clicks.
- Free Statistics - Provides valuable statistics about how readers are bookmarking and sharing your content. And this is free!
AddThis currently supports three major blogging platforms - Blogger, Wordpress and Typepad. But, you can use it on other websites also! To use AddThis, simple follow this link and select your widget type and style (they have 5-6 styles). Then mention, where you want to put this widget (Blog, Website, MySpace or Newsletter). Then click the “Get Your Free Button”. If you are new to AddThis, they will prompt you to create an account. It takes just one minute. Create your account and get the code. Paste it on your blog and start encouraging your visitors to share your content!
If you don’t want to touch your WordPress template codes, you may use the AddThis WordPress plugin. It will automatically insert the AddThis widget below each post in your blog. The plugin is available in two styles - default and drop-down. Choose your style, upload and activate the plugin. Open your blog and you will see the cool social bookmark button at the end of your blog posts. Is it not interesting? Get it today!
