Addthis.com makes a great button that makes it easy for visitors to your Squidoo lenses (or blog, website, etc.) to bookmark them with a number of social bookmarking services.
Why would you want to add an AddThis button to your Squidoo lens, blog, or website?
Making it easy for visitors to bookmark your lens will increase your chances of your lens being bookmarked. This will help you get return visitors, and being bookmarked on social bookmarking sites like digg can help you get more traffic to your lens.
Using AddThis with Squidoo
From now on I’m going to add an AddThis button to every Squidoo lens I make. I have just added an AddThis button to my blog. It’s easy to do, all you have to do is sign up, and copy and paste the code where you want the button.

Hi Sangeeta,
Squidoo is basically a site where anyone can sign up and make pages (called “lenses”) about whatever topic they want.
Why would you want to make a lens on Squidoo? One benefit is that you can use the Squidoo lense you make to help send traffic to your blog.
In the case of your blog, you could easily take the idea of one of your posts and make it into a Squidoo lens, then at the end of your lens, you could add a link to your blog or it’s RSS feed. This could help to send you more traffic.
