It’s smart to Add A Facebook Like Button To Your Website but also to all other content as well, from posts to pages. When a potential customer or fan lands on any of your content it’s important that within a second or two they can click a button to instantly share what they have found with a friend or their whole online social network of friends, family and acquaintances.
Recently the fashion and music photo blog, Under The Guise, decided to move from a free WordPress.com blogging platform to a hosted WordPress.org platform. UTG did this mainly because they wanted a site that included more social sharing tools but was also easy to navigate and update.
You can be assured that your site will be easy to share if it contains the following:
- Share Buttons on the front page of posts – don’t make a reader have to click through to get to a Facebook like button.
- Links to your prominent and active social networks – a visitor may decided they like your whole site, not just a post
- Pretty Permalinks – setting your permalinks gives your visitors a more interesting and clean link to share. The permalink can include the post or page title, as well as a date.
