Or maybe it is serving your readers…

A question was raised on SEOMoz about whether those little links at the bottom of blogs posts that allow readers to add the post to delicious or digg where actually pressuring readers to endorse the post.

It is afterall just a link. The only pressure I have ever felt to click on a link is when I’ve just read some compelling sales copy. I don’t see how an “add to delicious” link is considered
pressure.

With the rise in popularity of social bookmarking sites, it makes sense for bloggers to post such links. In my view, it is offering readers a service. While most social bookmarkers probably don’t need the reminder or the link, it is still a handy way to provide readers an easy way to “remember” a post.
