Are You a Button Pusher?

If you are many blogger would like to say thank you. :D

I’m talking about the Digg Buttons, the Bumpzee button, the PlugIM Buttons, and the Sphinn buttons.

Now I don’t think you should start surfing around all willie nillie just clicking every button you see. But if you like an article or a post - give it a click.

Most times people will click buttons for the major league bloggers like Jack Humphrey. (Jack doesn’t want or need anymore readers anyway, and if you do stop by make sure it’s at your allowed time :razz: ) I think it’s good to give them a click, and I often do myself.

But what about the smaller blogs? The whole point of having those buttons is to show that people like reading a post and to help the blog climb in popularity.

More Button Clicks=More Page Views

I’m learning to do more social networking everday. Since I’ve been back from holidays, I try and stumble articles that I like, or give them a digg, or click whatever buttons they have.

It helps the other blogger (that’s how we get the word “networking”). But it also helps you by building a portfolio of sorts on the network sites of articles that you like.

I also noticed something…

It’s true for me, and I’m sure it’s true for many others. I try to see who’s supporting my buttons or helping my articles move along. If I know who gave me a click, I generally try and return the favor IF I like something about what the blogger has to say.

Something to think about on this Tuesday morning. And for heaven sake when your surfing around and you see something you like go ahead and “push their buttons” :D. It might just put a smile on their face…

Expect the Best,

Stumble it!

    I love stumbling good posts from the smaller bloggers to give them extra traffic. And I’m just like you i try to return the favor if anyone helps my site out. If we could get a small group of bloggers always “helping” eachother out it could be really easy to get a bunch of more traffic to our sites. Great post just stumbled it ;)

    Thanks for your comments and the link love… much appreciated.

    I am certainly setting time aside daily to show some link love to fellow bloggers. It’s actually great fun and quite addicting. Maybe I’ll have to start setting a timer and give it a time limit, or I won’t get anything else done :D
