Blogger used to be a blogging platform, especially for beginners. Know-how is it easy to use and configure, and not much technical requirements. There is a major setback to using Blogger, though. You can not take advantage of social bookmarking sites, at least not as effectively as possible with the use of Wordpress. There are many Wordpress plugins, and some take advantage of these sites.

These sites social event as a “vote” for your site. When people bookmark your blog or objects, they share with others. Other nominees in the content, and that they could score too. The more votes the better. Google loves content, that is not a mystery. Google will pay for your content and the fact that the High Authority to social bookmarking sites that are linked. This means more traffic! Much more in fact.

How can we leverage these social sites, where blogs? The answer is Wordpress Plugins. Blogger does not give us no way to automatically bookmark every message that we do. It must be done manually. That’s a long time! Services like OnlyWire or SocialMarker can do this much easier, but you still take the time to use their services.

There is an easier way to drive that traffic to your blog. You must be using Wordpress to build on that. Wordpress is undoubtedly the most popular platform for blogging, and no wonder why. It requires some technical knowledge, but do not be afraid. The benefits are much more important!

Wordpress Plugins used. Applications Wordpress plugins are mainly small to perform a function or process. There are many modules that have been made for Wordpress, and will undoubtedly be many more. They all have a different objective.

Here are some Wordpress plugins that do NOT want to be without being able to use the power of social bookmarking sites:

Share – Allows users to share their e-mails and bookmarks.

AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget – This allows your readers to add your posts.

ShareThis and AddThis are more or less the same. It does not hurt to have both. Want to make it as easy as possible for your visitors bookmark your entries.

OnlyWire Autosubmitter – This will automatically send your messages to your OnlyWire account.

Sociable – Automatically add links on your posts to popular social bookmarking sites.

Tweet My Blog – This will automatically post a tweet to your Twitter account when you make a new post, bringing more traffic to your blog. You can subscribe to tweet my blog on my blog, there is a link in the resource box. You’ll also need a Twitter account. Then turn and start to get followers, the more the better.

This is just a small example of Wordpress plugins that are available. You want to make sure you have these plugins installed so you can get traffic from social bookmarking sites. Its potential is enormous, and not want to miss. If you do not use a Wordpress blog, I suggest you climb aboard.
