Hi all,

On my new site I have a 'ShareThis' button and using their plugin I can select which bookmarking services to visitors to use.

My question is simple - Which buttons should I include and which should I steer clear of?

Here is an example page so that you can see the buttons that I currently use.

    Why not include as many as you can? Can't think of any to stay away from. Sure, some will bring more traffic than others, but it doesn't really cost you anything to have them all right? The more you have, the better chance of getting marked and a linkback.

      Thanks Ron. I guess I was just thinking that there must be a reason that other sites only have limited buttons. I thought that they knew something that I didn't

        Well, my guess is, the people that don't have many buttons, it is probably a design thing, don't want to clutter up their pages. Or, they don't want a clunky drop down JS loaded with them. Others might chose only the biggest, or only ones they have accounts with. Who knows really.

        I look at every one being a possible link back
