Many folks who start blogs do so in order to try to earn a little extra money, but without targeted traffic you won’t be making any income. Most folks keep trying every new system or program that comes out as a way to increase their blog traffic, but they never work. The trouble is people are always looking for the new tricks and techniques and neglect about what has been working for years. In this article we are going to explain the importance of getting a “share this” button on ones own blog. And specifically how this little addition can certainly end up driving significant amounts of traffic.

The basics of this type of button are very straightforward, if someone likes what you published they can share it with other people. You might have been on a blog site and observed a “tweet this” button. The reason these individuals have them on their blogs is because it is a way to enable visitors share the post with their friends.

It does not stop with just one sort of site though, as there are buttons that will allow you to share posts on facebook, myspace, digg and many other social networking web sites. You really don’t want to limit the number of ways that individuals can get the word out about your blog. For this specific reason you want to get a “share this” button which will enable your visitors to share this post on many different social networking sites at once. Or at least give them the option to choose between sites. You need to remember that not everyone will have a twitter account, so if you simply add a twitter button you are limiting the possibilities for people to tell other people about the page.

For those of you using a wordpress theme for your blog, you may be able to find loads of unique types of buttons that you can use. An individual can just do a search for “share this” on the add plugin screen. Once more when looking for these plugins and also “share this” buttons, choose the ones that will allow multiple social website submissions. The important thing here is to find a “share this” plugin that contains as many sites as possible.

Right now I want to explain how highly effective this button can be when it comes to getting more traffic to your own blog. Let’s assume you have basically one visitor to your site on a specific day and they liked the post so they made the decision to share the post with all their friends on facebook. This person appreciated your article or post and they use the “share this” button and promote your post to about 50 of their friends on what ever social site they are generally on. Out of those 50 people lets say just 5 visit your blog and really appreciated your article. Next lets just say that out of the people that stopped by because somebody shared it with them that 3 of those people decided to share the post with other friends on alternative social sites. So now this single post may be promoted to 150 or more people. And then 20 of those people who just got the message decided to stop by and read what you had to say and then half of them decided to share with many other friends and family members that they imagine will enjoy the article. And this can basically keep going on for a very long time, so one person spreading your post can turn into 100s or even thousands of prospects.

So just before you decide to buy the next “must have” traffic application, try getting back to the fundamental principles like a “share this” button in order to get more traffic. And you may already know, the more traffic you end up getting the more money you will make.
