Social Bookmark - Adding social bookmark links to your blog or web site makes it easy for readers in order to save and share your articles. But once you have decided to include social bookmarking buttons, you must decide how to add social bookmarking on your site.

Begin by asking yourself what your display choices are. You can have a share button with a drop down menu listing social bookmarking sites, or you can list them visibly, with checkboxes. Finally, you can send your user to a page which lists all of the sharing options. Let's examine these options in detail to complete our how to of social bookmarking.

If you have a button with a decrease menu, you will be taking on less space on your own page layout, that is a positive, but it will probably be less visible, which means you could lose some potential links on social bookmarking sites. I would say that if you choose to list them all visibly, with checkboxes, you will have to choose fewer sites. I will discuss this farther on within the post, but first I want to examine the third option, having all the sharing options on a different page. This option lets you have all the options possible. Which brings me to my next point.

Social Bookmark - Then you have to ask yourself which sites to list first, and which to list at all. There are countless social bookmarking sites on the Internet, so you've to choose the most relevant ones to your niche. Take into account that people like finding the site of their choice first, so a particular placement reveals your adherence to one site or the other. Small decisions, or decisions which can be apparently small, can give you or take away links.

Sometimes, picking a smaller site over a larger one is better, since the community of smaller sites is generally more loyal (and pickier), and can see your choice like a positive, making them prone to link posts appearing on your own site.

So what about this third option? Could it be good?

Social Bookmark - Well, it is not great in my experience. Only very, very technologically minded people wish to have that many options. Most visitors on your own website will be happier whether it's easy to use instead of too complete. There is certainly such a thing as over-optimizing. Another thing to take into account is that more pages means a greater click through rate and therefore lots more people dropping out of the process. As soon as they've shared this post, they might find it uncomfortable to go back to your site and you may be losing visitors who might have otherwise continued browsing and ultimately, buying.

Hope this how to of social bookmarking was useful.
