AddThis.com - Advanced Bookmarking Technology!

Many of you who read this article have never heard of Facebook, Propeller, Digg or Del.icio.us...no worries...you don't have to know anything more than Addthis.com
Take a look at the little button just above the first sentence of this article...that button is supplied by Addthis.com. It is called a widget, a widget is defined by Widgetbox as "a portable chunk of the web". Don't worry you don't have to know much about widgets other than they are created to help your web site provide entertainment or a service to the masses.

Now onto the main theme of this article! If you have read any of the "Online Marketing Tips" from Bizz Promotions, then you know that I am a huge advocate for providing ways for repeat web page visits. With Addthis.com, you can take bookmarking your website to a whole new level!

Addthis.com and Bookmark Your Socks Off!

Bookmarking - Bookmarking in a nutshell is a method which provides a way for people to save your site for later. If you provide updates to your site daily, weekly or monthly...then people are likely to bookmark your site and return at a later date to see what has changed.

Bookmarking To The Extreme! - Addthis.com took bookmarking to a whole different level with their bookmarking widget...by using their widget you provide a way for people to add your bookmark anywhere. If you are familiar with bookmarking at all, then more than likely you have a pretty long list of favorites on your Internet Explorer browser. This is where Addthis.com gets started...if you have a Google account, My Yahoo account or a host of other accounts that are maintained online, then you can easily bookmark your site with these accounts by using the Addthis.com widget to manage the bookmarking process.

Bookmarking Statistics - Hey wouldn't it be cool if you could tell how many times your site was bookmarked? Well, you are in luck! Once you register with Addthis.com and install the bookmarking widget to your website, you can then begin tracking how many times your site has been bookmarked through the statistics at your Addthis.com account!

Bookmark Multiple Sites and Pages - Another great aspect of the Addthis widget is that once you have an account and have chosen your bookmarking button, you can add it to as many pages and websites as you want! The more pages you add the bookmarking widget to...the more opportunities you give people to bookmark your site and come back later.

I would encourage anyone to go out there and spend 5 minutes on Addthis.com and get a bookmarking widget for your site! As always, I hope this article was helpful and and if you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us and let us know how we can help!
