I think I may have Share This but I have definitely found that since adding share buttons to my posts I have seen an increase in my shares. Definitely a must for every Blog.

Great tips. I have used many of these social sharing options too. I have one that is built into my theme now. I like it a lot.

Great post! It’s good to know all the options for the social sharing buttons, especially the floating bar one, I feel like that will get more use as if a reader sees something mid-post that speaks to them, they can take immediate action and share it, as opposed to the buttons at the bottom (like I have) that may be passed over. And WOW on the 75+ link ups, I was trying to come up with a weekly goal for how many, I will take that as the goal!

As much as I love FB and Twitter, the best ones for sharing (with the most return) in my experience are Pinterest and Stumbleupon. I have a “Pin it” button on my toolbar, so I can still pin easily (because when I pin, it’s usually something I want to keep for myself.) If it’s something I want to share because it’s awesome, yes, I pin, but I also like to Stumble. I’ve recently started using it and my traffic has really spiked, so I like to “pass it on.” I LOVE when folks have a stumble button (or even a “Share this” with Stumbleupon as an option) because it almost guarantees I’m going to stumble it.

If you’d like one more party to share with, I host a weekly Pinterest party at Adventures with Jude (new party every Sunday) – I’d love to have you join in!

Lindsay, I agree I think showing the share numbers helps get more shares.

Great article! Thank you very much. I am a big fan of social media sharing buttons as an encouragement for people to share. I also think the higher the numbers the more likely the article is to be shared. The reader feels they are onto something popular and worthwhile. I have shared via my Twitter and LinkedIn accounts.

Debbie, I don’t know if the side bar is worth it or not, but I’m using it for now. Thanks for subscribing.
