In this article, I explain how you can use the AddThis Social Bookmarking Wordpress plugin to increase traffic to your blog.

What is the AddThis Social Bookmarking Wordpress Plugin?

This widget adds the feed subscription and/or social bookmarking buttons from AddThis to your sidebar. This is a convenient way for visitors to subscribe to your feed or bookmark your pages without cluttering the sidebar with a gazillion buttons for all the different feed readers and social bookmark sites.

How does it work?

When you install the “Addthis” wordpress plugin into your blog, the special button on top will appear under every blog post. If a reader clicks on the button, they will be able to instantly bookmark your post to their favourite online social bookmarking sites like Digg, Technorati, Delicious and even share your post with their friends on Facebook, Myspace and even Twitter.

Cool! That’s instant viral marketing for your posts! And you can also use this button yourself to quickly share your new posts with your contacts on your social networking websites, thus instantly attracting tons of high quality traffic to your blog.

How do you install it?

1. Download the plugin here.

2. Use an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program like CoreFTP to upload it to your blog’s “wp-content/plugins” folder.

3. Then activate it in your Wordpress admin dashboard under “Plugins”
