Reflecty Sociable Plugin

The Sociable Wordpress Plugin
Social networks really took off in 2006. These social networks can often act as amplifiers as links and blogs reverberate through out the social network. The Sociable plugin helps social network members action a post right there and then while reading your post. You can see the sociable plugin as the list of icons at the bottom of each of my posts. While I haven’t received a huge number of social “recommendations”, each recommendation has created 5+ visits by others to the blog and in some cases much better.

If you install this plugin you should also read some SEO advice from Andy Beard regarding the sociable plugin.

Update: I just wrote a post about how to make money online from your blog. Check it out!
