AddThis is one of several bookmarking and sharing services you can use for your website.  Basically instead of placing the icons on your website and linking to the ever-changing bookmarking and sharing service it does it for you.  

10 advantages of using the AddThis service:

  1. It’s free
  2. It is being updated with new bookmarking and sharing services all the time
  3. It can also include ‘email to a friend’ and ‘print’
  4. You can control what bookmarking and sharing services you display in the pop-up
  5. It gives you analytics so that can track and report on what people are bookmarking and sharing (your need to create an account)
  6. It can be styled and customised to your own website
  7. It has over 20 translated languages
  8. It’s fast to load and easy to implement
  9. It can be implemented on several different types of websites
  10. One account can be used for several websites

 

Have a try by rolling your mouse over the button below:

Bookmark and Share

I personally would recommend you creating an account it’s super quick requiring a minimal amount of information (username, email and password).    

By doing this you will get analytics like this.

 

So good is this service we will be adding it to our site shortly, so stay posted.
