    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.

    What I have found best is to put digg, stumble, technorati, delicious, facebook, and most importantly just a simple email to a friend button which gets used more effectively than any other buttons on the page.

    When I see good content, I look for the following buttons: Digg, Facebook, Stumble, Twitter, & Delicious. I find those to be the most used and very popular so I use them on my site as well.

    I am using digg.com.
    I can get a lot of traffic and black link.
