OK I am using the Sexy Bookmarks Plugin which is great. On my posts I only have room to show 9 as I don't like having them over two lines as it looks rubbish. Which 9 would you show? I currently have the following: - Delicious - Digg - Reddit - StumbleUpon - MySpace - Facebook - Twitter - Yahoo! Buzz - Google Buzz Should I add, change or remove any?
Those are good. That's really a personal choice and depends on the niche of the blog. For instance I have a politics blog so I put Fark on there. On many sites, I could care less about Stumble, Reddit and My Space and opt for Linked In (which caters to Professionals) , Live and the Print and "Email a Friend" buttons. There is not really a right or wrong answer, it just depends on what you think your crowd uses most.
It depends on the topic of your blog. If it is a technology blog, technorati + digg is must, but if it is celebrity blog, yahoo buzz, for arts blog delicious + stumbleupon. For all blog, use twitter, facebook, google buzz as well. All the best.
hmansfield is right, the choice of buttons depends on niche. I used to have a digg button only and that was doing good. When I replaced it with a tweet button, it's doing better.
I actually see a lot of major sites with Yahoo Buzz buttons. I personally hate Reddit because I think the site is overwhelmed with trolls who have nothing better to do than be racist and obscene.
digg, stumbleupon, twitter are the most important ones i think. and then, facebook and delicious may be.
It depends what niche you are in, but generally they are a waste of time. Your visitors arent interested in spreading the word for you, they want to read.
