Our addthis.com feature continues to be very popular, interestingly when we dig into the stats the print feature is the most popular.

Followed by email then facebook and twitter.  All the major players then feature such as delico.us digg and stumbleupon.

What our regular users are realizing is that they can get a lot more traffic and exposure for their articles if after publishing them, they return and bookmark them.

Addthis.com is great for this as it has several 100 services accessible from a single screen, but there are other ways that are just as affective.  If you have a website or blog, then you can link back from there using your blogroll feature, or simply embedding links back to your articles from within posts or pages.

Pages linked in this way perform higher in the search results of the major search engines such as Google, and higher rankings bring more traffic and more traffic = more exposure.

Our improved bookmarking feature addthis is proving a big success, thousands of pages have been highlighted in this way.

Bookmarking your articles is a good way to get more traffic for your articles, the search engines such as google love them and reward you with more traffic and better rankings. We use www.folkd.com a lot in house, which is not a feature currently available via addthis.com.

Here are a very small selection of the articles bookmarked today:-

Why Everyone Should Recycle

How to install MS Office 2003

Bookmarking is a great and growing feature, its a shame that more authors are not recognising its potential to benefit their work, the following table gives you an idea of the popularity of this feature:

Strangely Europe is much slower to take up and use this feature, about 15% of our traffic comes from the EU but a lot less than that use bookmarks to promote their articles.
