WordPress Plugin for a Better Blog and SEO
If you haven’t notice them yet, I ‘used’ to have a social bookmarking list of icons at the bottom of each post, using the “Sociable” WordPress plugin. They appear after “Bookmark It and Enjoy:”.
Well, after some SEO investigations, I found that these counts as a total of 49 out-going links from my site, which is rather bad for search engine optimization (SEO). Plus, the other thing is that each of the icon associated with the social bookmarking site has an image .gif property, the loading time of this site also increase due to the increased Kb size from the images.
So, after looking for some alternative, I think I’ve found one of the WordPress plugins that does the same thing as “Sociable.” Hehehe, actually I have this WordPress plugin, “Share This,” all along but haven’t use it. So, I’ll probably use “Share This” in the future as there’s only ONE image icon that expands into many social bookmarking sites.
This will hopefully help decrease the Kb of The MAKE MONEY ONLINE Blog home page and, thereby, decrease the loading time for visitors. This is to prepare for the future, when I get massive traffic 
.
Hope, The MAKE MONEY ONLINE Blog doesn’t break by then 
. (Basically, just imagine MILLIONS of people–can’t I hope to be millions–downloading this blog’s heavy page for one second….but then again, I’m think too far ahead :).
Anyway, since the name of this WordPress plugin is “Share This,” I guess I’ll share it with you all =P. So, here is the link for more information on “Share This”: http://alexking.org/blog/2006/11/17/share-this-11
Edit: Hehehe, there’s even a “No Follow” attribute in the “Share This” link. LOL. Alex must know what he’s doing for SEO. Kudos, you’re good Alex. BTW–by using this plugin, my out-bound link was cut from 73 to 28! That’s one heck of an SEO cut, for you

Is this plug-in different than the wp-notable that does a similar function? Is wp-notable what you used to use?
No, I used to use “Sociable”, very similar to Notable. I also have Notable but didn’t use it because well I have to dig in the files to customize them.
Anyway, Notable have the same problem as Sociable because there are numerous out-bound links to the social bookmarking sites on the home page => bad for SEO. Basically, if you have 7 social bookmarking links at the end of each of your post, your home page would have 49 out-bound ‘irrelevant’ links, which is exceptionally bad for SEO.
Hope that help.
