Social bookmark for the site. Social bookmarking services

Social bookmark - a script that allows us to quickly send a link to an interesting page to your social network. The script is inserted into the desired place in the source code and when viewed from the page is displayed as several buttons. Each popular social network has its own button, but you can often find a series of buttons - from the combined scripts.

Except when inserting directly into the source code of the page, there are options when the social bookmark is executed in the form of a plug-in. Such plug-ins exist for almost all popular content management platforms (CMS). Most of them are English-speaking, and although the support of all popular networks is performed at a high level, the lack of the ability to send a link to "VC" significantly limits their functionality for users of runet.

"Add to favorites"

This phrase sometimes comes across sites on the network. But this does not take into account such a point that the browser's favorites live until you reinstall the system. And it does not depend on the program that you use. In alternative versions, it is possible to save all or separate settings with the help of third-party programs, but if you did not think about it in advance, then after reinstalling the system, you lose all the favorites. Some solve this issue by trying to put the browser on another, not the system drive. But this is not an option. Internet Explorer, for example, is placed immediately with the system, and it is on the system disk. But there is a solution, and it exists a long time ago - this is registration in social bookmarks.

After reinstallation, we again go to the site and get access to your favorites, since everything that you saved with these bookmarks is stored on the servers on the network. From here it is possible to deduce and one more plus - bookmarks will be accessible from any place where there is an Internet. The services that allow to store them are numerous on the Web. For example, this function is provided by a well-known Google. As with other services, registration is required here, but if you have, for example, mail on Gmail, then you have such a registration. Enter the mail page and select the right one at the top right (you may need to open "All services").

Put the buttons!

An analogue of this action can serve as a social bookmark for the site. In this case, as a rule, popular social networks will be offered first, but at the end of the list there are usually several popular "bookmarkers" - the services mentioned above. If you are an experienced user, throw off the link in the online service, even if it is not on the list, it's no problem for you. And if not? You click on the button of any of the networks, if you have a login there, but the login may not be. A page of any social network can stretch out indefinitely, and you can search for something among all your records for a long time.

And if the creator of the site did not bother with this - we can not return to it. The above plugins just solve this issue. After the plugin is configured, a special module appears at the bottom of the text. The social bookmarks of this module, as a rule, lead to the most popular social networks. Many people think that this is enough now. To such recently belongs and "Yandex" - the Russian search engine.

Offers of "Yandex"

This search engine, like its American "colleague", at one time also offered "Yandex Social Bookmarking", but recently this service has been closed. Now we have the opportunity to use the "Visual bookmarks". Like "Google", registration is required. In addition, Yandex has a "Share" service. In it, you can configure the choice of social networks, the size of the buttons, their appearance, and as a result we get the code that you need to insert on the site for the appearance of such buttons.

Unlike the plugin, we can arrange the buttons anywhere - in the center, left or right. However, to place the codes on the page you need to have a basic knowledge of HTML, because any error can cause the page to be corrupted when viewed. In addition, if you change the appearance of the revision, you will have to re-edit it, and the plug-in will always work.

One button - an alternative to "Yandex"

If you do not like the Yandex variant, you can find other variations on the web. For example, the service "One button". The name was chosen not by chance. The service is positioned as a button of social bookmarks and social networks in one bottle. Service settings are simple - choose the appearance (one of 4) and get the code. However, users of Wordpress service offers a ready-made plug-in. It can not be said that this is really one button - in any case it will look like a string, but the functions declared by the developers are performed by the service.

Pluso

Pluso is an alternative service that will not only create a bookmark on the site where the buttons are located. If you have a printer, you can print a page immediately or send a link to it by mail. The setting is the same as for the "one button" service, however, the plugin is not provided to us - only the code.

In the upper right field, select the services displayed at once (the list of remaining ones is listed above, but for their appearance you need to click on the plus button on the right). Then we set up the layout below and get the generated code even lower. The choice of design is much wider than that of the previous service, and, importantly, everything works in real time. Changed the parameter - the preview block and the code change immediately. Liked it - copied the code, inserted on the page.

The other side of the coin

In addition to the benefits for the visitor, the social bookmark also has the other side of the coin. It can be called one of the ways to promote the project in both search engine rankings and "word of mouth".

For search engines, an additional reference to the project raises the rating of the project, and accordingly, the position in the search issue. Searching for the site comes new visitors, if the visitor likes it - a new bookmark will appear, it will be indexed and so on.

On the other hand, like social networks, social bookmarking services allow users to exchange links, which in turn also increases the site's position. In this case, if in the usual case the search engine gives us several dozen links to similar resources, and for what we go, it's difficult to guess, then the link sent to us personally will probably be opened.

But the bookmarks are just one, and not the most effective way to promote the issue. Any specialist will call you at least five more. And among these five, most likely, there will be no way that is undeservedly forgotten. He does not raise the link to your site right away in the top-5 issuance (especially since the search engines use the first links to advertise their related projects), but when the project is just beginning to exist - any option that can help strengthen is to be taken into account.

Bookmarks as a way to promote

Few people think about it, but all the services of social bookmarking, where you drop the link to the page you like, are registered with search engines, and search bots can often visit these services. At the same time, the service has, in addition to personal links, which, except you, (theoretically), no one will see, and so-called common. And any Internet address added to the service increases the overall targeted mass, which is positively noted by the search engines, and further the situation develops as described above. Therefore, one of the ways of promotion can be called a social bookmarking run, not necessarily yours.

Any link placed there helps the site to rise. The process is long, but effective. And most importantly, for a relatively small amount of money (or by applying some kind of own effort), you can get a good increase in mass. And with the next update of the indicators in search engines can immediately grow. And what is the growth of the site, we will not consider separately. At a minimum, the opportunity to advertise at higher prices.

Conclusion

Social bookmarking is a convenient way to save a link that appeared much earlier than social craze social networks. Many will say that in social networks you can make your comments to the bookmark, but who was trying to find the right information then on your page? In addition, the principle of tape in the "VC" or "Facebook" - this is the principle of the blog, that is, the bookmark on the desired site may well be lost in the list of your entries.
