Adding Facebook Like & Google +1 Buttons after each post in Blogger

Writing alone can't make your blogging dreams come true. Readers would want to react to your article. They sometimes would want to support your views in that article or they just 'like' it and wanted to award it a Facebook like or +1 it on Google+. So what to do?

After reading out my above valid points, you must be thinking about adding share buttons. Right? Yeah that's a great idea, but who cares to spare their time to share? Adding a 'Facebook like' button or 'Google Plus +1' button would help your article get active on social media.

Being the major social networks with millions of users(yeah! Google + have most of the Google users linked to it. So said!) Facebook and Google+ have their role in building traffic to websites. Getting more '+1's' and 'Likes' would help your article get more traffic from these social media giants.
