Social bookmarking sites are there to make your surfing experiences useful and benefits to your internet business. What you can do is you can just go to sites like Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, StumbleUpon, Digg or Technorati and click on the top pages and BAM!

4. Facebook “Like” Plugin

Facebook is THE thing of the century. Most people cannot imagine life without Facebook, can you? The Like function of Facebook has become one of the necessity plugin which you can use to build your fans. You can allow your visitors or fans to use the Like plugin for interesting comments, videos, status updates, and so on. And one they like the content the link to the post will be published to their Facebook Wall so other people can see what they Liked.

Pages with more Likes are bound to attract more visitors.

So, the Like plugin is very important for those who’re eager to share what they love to their group of people, because the idea behind the Facebook Like plugin is that if someone Likes a particular page on the web, then their network are more likely to be interested in it as well!

5. Related Posts Plugin

No matter what you do in your site once you managed to bring visitors into your site you need to retain them as long as possible because the longer they stay the higher chances you have to convert them into business opportunity. One of the methods you can use is by using Related Posts plugin. By putting a list of related posts will increase your stats and at the same time it would also mean a visitor is staying on your site for a longer time. Besides, it’s RELATED posts, not just some random posts.

All you need to do is install the plugin, click to activate it, and select which social bookmarking sites you would want let readers share on, decide where you want the little thumbnails of social bookmarking sites to appear in your post, and you’re good to go!
