As a new blogger I rather confused how the way I can dress up my blog with some buttons or widgets of social bookmarking sites. I don't want lost my readers and I want to drive my readers to add my blog at their favorite social bookmarking sites like Digg and other such sites. What I learned that by submitting a blog to bookmarkers can drive massive traffics for our blog.
It’s the strategy of using social bookmarking sites to publicly share information about your websites. And that, of course, leads to whatever methods are used to generate income (product sales, Adsense revenue, affiliate promotions). The truth is, more and more people are getting frustrated with the inaccurate nature of search engine results. Because of that, there’s been a substantial rise in the percentage of people who are turning to bookmarking sites to find what they’re looking for. So here the social bookmarking sites power, to drive peoples for more relevant contents.
So I found and I use these two free tools to put cool widgets in my blog with bookmarking badges or widgets (other name is chicklet). The first is a free service from AddThis.com and the second is a free bookmarking chicklets from PopularBlogspot.com, both are cool enough for me. Even the aim of both services is kind like the same that offering to put some bookmarking buttons to a blog. As far as I know that some CMS and Blogging platforms such wordpress or Typepad had provided any add on or additional module to put up bookmarking widgets. But how about a blogger.com hosted blog like what I currently use now? With these tool above now we can add some bookmarking widgets to a blog hosted at Blogger.com with only copying some codes given and paste it to blog template.
But which one of both tools I should use? can I use the two of them together? Just choose the more suitable for your blog that can fit more blended to dress up your blog with these widgets. Yes of course you can use the two of them together coz they'll display different buttons for your blog. Oke I'll explain it more below with all what I knew.
Add This! Social Bookmark and Feed Button - Web2.0 Social Media Optimization
with the main slogan "Simple and recognizable widgets to help your visitors save and promote your website or blog to the social bookmarking and feed reader services". This website provide subscribtion to most major social bookmarklet sites from digg, delicious, reddit, until tailrank. Diplayed Buttons: Addthis.com will display only a single cool and interesting button inside a blog pages, it will be looked like this or as what you can see in the end of this post. So when your blog readers see this buttons it will encourages them to bookmark your blog post to their favorite social bookmarking sites that are able to be selected at addthis.com page after they click the button. Yeah that is mean that your visitor will be redirected to addthis.com sites before they go to the bookmarklet they like. Until this article posted addthis.com still provides to submit your blog to 30 different social bookmarking sites. Here the list of those sutes; Delicious, Digg, Reddit, MyBrowser, Stumble upon, Ask, Simpy, Raw sugar, blinklist, backflip, Spurl, Mister Wong, Netvouz, Diigo, Segnalo, Google bookmarks, Furl, Newsvine, My Yahoo/ Yahoo myweb, Technorati, Live bookmarks, Blogmarks, Netscape, Shadows, Wink, LinkaGoGo, Feed me links, Magnolia, Blue Dot, and TailRank.

PopularBlogspot.com add bookmarker chicklet to your blog.
What is PopularBlogspot.com? This is only a site that will helping you to make your blog popular by adding cool social bookmarking chicklets. This website provides the Lite version and the complete version of bookmarklet widgets to use in our blog. The Lite version is displaying 8 social bookmarking buttons and the complete will be diplaying 30 chicklets, both are Free. The main difference of Popularblogspot.com with AddThis.com is that Popularblogspot will not redirect your readers to the site at first like what addthis did, but it will display the true social bookmarking chicklets right away inside our blog pages. Than your visitor can choose what is their favorite bookmarklet should be to use without going to open and redirected to the other site. Suggest you to use The Lite version coz it only diplays 8 badges, the complete version will display 30 badges at once in a single raw or even in a single coloumn. You can choose four different styles for each version (Lite or Complete). The Lite version includes Delicious, Digg, Google bookmarker, Yahoo MyWeb, Blink list, Spurl, Furl, and Simpy. The complete version is aproximately the same like Addthis.com

Bookmarking Demon is one of first automated solutions for link building to be launched to the world. The simple fact that Bookmarking Demon is still going strong and it is still very popular almost 5 years after being launched just shows that it works.
I have tried using Bookmarking Demon in the past but I did so when I only got started and I really didn’t know anything about how it works and how to put it to good use. I decided to give it another shot and test it out again as I am looking to decrease the amount of time I invest into link building and one of the ways is using such automated tools.
