Tags: trafficDo you notice something like this at the end of each post? Many other blogs do have similar icons too. The colorful icons look stylish and cool, but they are not only for decorating the blog.
These little icons are known as “social bookmarks”. There are plenty of social bookmarking sites which you may or already are a member. Today, I’m going to talk about the Facebook bookmarking feature.
When you click on the 
icon below a blog post, provided you are signed in to your Facebook account, that particular blog post link will be added to your Facebook Mini-Feed. Now, everyone in your network will be able to see your posted link. If they are interested and click on the link, you gain traffic to your blog!
Yes, of course you can click on the icon at your own blog post. Haven’t got the social bookmarking icons / buttons? Try Sociable for own hosted WordPress or AddThis for other blogging platforms. If you don’t implement such social bookmarking buttons, you will have to post the link to Facebook manually.
Either you just launched a new blog or you already have owned a blog for some time, the things that you will always want to gain is traffic to your blog(s). You possibly need blog traffic for the following reasons:
There are many ways to boost your blog traffic. One of them is to join blog directories. If you are a blogger from Malaysia, here is a good blog directory that you should give it a try. It’s new but the community is growing rapidly. It’s BlogMalaysia, a bloggers directory for Malaysian bloggers.
The founder of BlogMalaysia is Kho King from Malaysia but currently reside in Japan. All the blogs submitted to this BlogMalaysia will be manually reviewed by the admins before listing into the directory, to revoid spam blogs. Hence, blog quality assurance.

The RSS button, usually in orange can be found in almost every blog. Many newbie will just ignore this wonderful tool just because they don’t really know what does it mean. Here is a simple explanation on the RSS feed.
We only have 24 hours a day, which we need to spend time on our daily routines, accompanying our family members, as well as reading blogs or blogging. We wouldn’t want to waste extra time by checking updates from our favorite blogs one by one – the so called “blog hopping“.
Some people may argue that they prefer blog hopping, visiting their favorite blogs one by one just to check for updates. Some claim that if there isn’t any updates, they will still leave a message in the chat box. The real intention behind the message usually indicate the owner something like “Oh! Hi there, I was here before and hope you can hop over to my blog too.” I used to do that too for a short period of time. It did boost up some traffic. In fact, that’s what most blog hoppers really want. They may not even read your blog content but just leave a “hi hi” message and hoping that you will head back to them. Most of the time, it works.
