Social Bookmarking Links Thread

[PromotePoker]

Great thread.

Thanks for taking the time to upload these for everyones benefit.

I have a question about all of these social bookmarks and the robots.txt file

Do these social bookmarks need to be setup in robots.txt?? The way I seee it all of these icons, in all of the posts, point away from your site, instead of keeping the spiders on our site,we might be sending them away if these aren't added to the robots.txt.

Is there an easy way to add them all?

Can someone post an example or two of how to properly add the social bookmarking icons (digg and delicious for example) to the robots.txt file

I think all of the social bookmarking icons should be a built in feature of VBSEO and the end user would just have to check/uncheck the box.

Thanks again,

Jason

All the links have rel="nofollow" so bots will not follow these links. Thats why you donot need to add them to your robots.txt

Thanks fore the quick reply on the nofollow. I didn't see it in the url, I take it, that it is a built in function in VBSEO?

Thanks again,
Jason

Hi

Most people who use Social Bookmarks don't need the icons! They look messy too!
Add This! Social Bookmark and Feed Button - Web2.0 Social Media Optimization may be worth looking at.
They produce 1 button which links to a page full of social bookmarking icons
They also have a drop down widget.
It may take some tweaking to get it to work on vBulletin but I'm sure there are plenty of coders could do it in a few minutes.

Could someone produce the code for this to use on vB? The AddThis button is very nice and I would like to use it on my forum. Thanks!

I have created a Mod that Changes the Stock vBulletin Social Bookmarks to include Lots and Lots of them

Those that are interested in sorting the default bookmarks that are set with check mark...

Uncheck all of the default bookmarks and sort them manually:

I loaded 14 bookmarks to my forum and noticed that the icons looked ugly because some did/didn't have transparency and some where bigger than the others.

So, I collected 14 of the bookmarks and made them all 16 x 16.
They looked better but they wasn't space between the images.
I made the images 18/16 [I added one column of transparency to both sides of 16x16 images].

If anyone is interested in the 14 bookmark images [.png] 16 x 16 or the 18 x 16, you can download the attached .rar file.


The 14 bookmark images are:

Stumble
Dig
Furl
Slashdot
Blinklist
Reddit
Delicious
Technorati
Facebook
MySpace
Twitter
Google
Yahoo
Live

[You can see how they turned out by visiting the url in my sig.]



Enjoy,
