Share This: Social Bookmarking Widget for Blogger

A few months ago I experimented with social bookmarking using some articles I had posted on Associated Content. I wanted to see if social bookmarking actually increased page views since AC pays per view. So I randomly selected about a quarter of my articles and submitted them to Share This. After about 6 months, the bookmarked articles received hundreds of more page views than the un-bookmarked pieces. That's all I needed to see, now I bookmark not only my stuff but anybody's stuff that has the link.

Share This has a bookmarking widget for Blogger that is really easy to use. You create the bookmark using the wizard and they'll upload it to your blog layout and it automatically links to the individual blog posts. It doesn't get any easier than that.

Get yours at the Share This website. You'll have to create an account if you don't have one; it only takes a minute and its free. You can find the widget wizard under the Publishers tab, make sure that you have the Blogger option checked (its default setting is WordPress).
