Share and Share Alike

Do you want to increase the traffic to your blog? One way to do that is by encouraging visitors to share your content on their various social networks. Facebook offers a couple ways to do this. The first is the "Like" button, which you can add to any page on the Internet. In most cases, the feature requires just a single line of HTML code, which you can download from the Facebook website (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web#plugins). The second is the Facebook Share link, which you can access here (http://www.facebook.com/share/). Again, you need just a small piece of code that you can add to any page on your blog.

Twitter recently created its own share button, similar to Facebook's. You can learn more by visiting http://twitter.com/goodies/tweetbutton. Another good Twitter sharing tool is TweetMeme. Their website is http://tweetmeme.com.

Depending on the blogging site you use, there might be plugins available to automate the process. Check with your blog provider to find out more. In any case, adding share and like-style buttons to your website and blog are a great way to increase traffic and generate more buzz.
