Conclusions
Digg Digg WordPress plugin is surely very useful to add social media button in our blog. And Digg Digg do not only add it but add it in greater area of blog ( in above of each blog posting). This placement surely make the social media buttons more visible if we put it in below each post only. And Digg Digg surely more effective than singgle plugin for each social media button (such as tweetmeme button). With Digg Digg in this blog, i think i can remove “Add to Any” WordPress plugins and fully depend to Digg Digg for Social Media Link adding.
PS: do not hesitate to digg and re-tweet this blog article if you find it useful. Thanks before. 
That’s all update this time, wait for next update!

In last few months the Social media marketing and bookmarking has increased a lot among the users, and specifically among the bloggers and it has made really difficult to understand which top-level domains to add and which to avoid…
But, when find the quality one, It may bring our blog to better rank immediately.

I uses Sexy Bookmarks at the bottom of each post. On the top I only use two individual buttons, TweetMeme and BlogEngage. (And I only added the former under duress!) I like consistency and a clean look and so I’m often torn between traffic generation/monetization and the visual clutter that all these many buttons add.
Yeah — i think that we should only use useful button eventually — but for trial purpose, we should try each of them.
Hi – I saw this listed on the weekly word challenge on BlogEngage and just wanted to say how helpful this tutorial is. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for coming Samantha, i hope you enjoy my writing.

I am using it and one thing that creator missed in the list is BlogEngage button. I emailed him but he said he needed to get more request to update the plugin
So, all blog engage user must email the creator. I email him right now.
I’ll email him too
It’s great if this plugin includes blogengage button.
Yup — thanks for the participating, hope the creator include BlogEngage soon.
I have tried so many like ShareThis, Sociable, SocialMe, Digg Digg, that finally I just started collecting manual “share” buttons and integrating them directly into my index.php and single.php directly myself. This is so I can control placement better and enclose them in a table. You do a nice job with the screenshots and the details showing how to install and configure Digg Digg.
you do great job. In my opinion, blogger should put it manually in the end.
Dana,
Great post. I have been using the DiggDigg plug for a few weeks. I have been testing to see if the plugin is going to work for my site, then do a review with walk through on it. So far I think its a success. After some miner configuration and test runs, it looks good.
Digg digg also working great for this blog. I hope the writer will add some feature in future.
I’ve recently switched over to Digg Digg from Tweetmeme. The plugin author recently revamped the user interface to make it much easier to use. The only thing I would really like to add is the ability to customize per post or at least by page type (homepage, post, etc)
I think I’d keep the add to any/share-this plugin though. Some users like sharing using Delicious or other social media that either aren’t available through digg digg or you just might not want to clutter your page up with that many buttons.
Let us know if it improves amount of sharing your site receives.
Yeah, i think you are right. We should only use the most important social media button in digg digg such as tweet me or digg button.
I have been wondering how to place to Digg and Tweet buttons. It’s good that you’re sharing it. Now, I will have something to add on my blog.
Hope this article end your wondering.
i love Digg Digg bro….. it sure is a handy plugin to use
Yup, it is a handy plugin indeed.
