- 6 social sharing best practices for driving traffic
- By Liza Hausman. iMedia Connection, November 2, 2010. "Wondering when to use the Facebook "like" button on your site and when to use "share"? You're not alone. Used together and in the right combination, "like" and "share" are powerful tools for driving referral traffic from social networks, opening new communication channels with customers and prospects, and building relationships with your best advocates.

It lets you share links directly from the page you're on. When you click on the Tweet Button, a Tweet box will appear -- pre-populated with a shortened link that points to the item that you’re sharing..."

- Posted by Mark Thompson. Stay on Search, August 9, 2010. "This is part 3 of a 5 part series that covers creating content for the following social bookmarking sites...

There is a balance, where being active like in any community is going to help and publishing quality content that fits within the guidelines and allowed topics. For a detailed guide to what Reddit likes and doesn’t like, check out the Reddiquette guidelines created by Redddit..."

- by Paul Chaney. Practical eCommerce, August 11, 2010. "Social sharing and bookmarking have taken a back seat to Facebook and Twitter.
