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

Start with asking yourself what your display option is. 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 are able to send your user to a page which lists every one of the sharing options. Let's examine these options in more detail to complete our how to of social bookmarking.

If you have a button with a decrease menu, you will be taking up less space on your page layout, the industry positive, but it will probably be less visible, so that you could lose some potential links on bookmarking sites. I would say that if you decide to list them all visibly, with checkboxes, you will need to choose fewer sites. I am going to discuss this farther on in the post, but first I wish to examine the third option, having all of the sharing options on another page. This option allows you to have all the options possible. That literally brings me to my next point.

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

Sometimes, selecting a smaller site on the larger one is better, considering that the community of smaller sites is normally more loyal (and pickier), and definately will see your choice being a positive, making them prone to link posts appearing in your site.

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

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

Hope this the way to of social bookmarking was useful.
