One of the best ways to drive traffic to your blog is by submitting your posts to different social networking sites and the easiest way to do this is by adding social networking buttons on your blog so your readers can easily submit your blog posts. However, if you want a more effective way to promote your website’s contents, you should try using a social sharing toolbar.
Social sharing toolbars display a static toolbar on your blog or website, which may contain search bar, RSS feeds, recent posts, social networking links and many more which can really increase page views and drive more traffic to your blog.
Here is a great list of social sharing toolbars for your blog or website:
1. Meebo Bar
The Meebo Bar displays a toolbar at the bottom of your blog/website which contains social networking links, Facebook Fan Page and “Like” button, RSS feeds, and many more! Your site visitors can also chat with their IM friends from Yahoo!, Facebook, MSN, Twitter, Google Talk and other networks.

The Meebo Bar works on any websites or blog using Blogger, TypePad, Movable Type, or self-hosted WordPress blogs. Blogs hosted at WordPress.com are not supported at the moment.
2. Wibiya Web Toolbar
Wibiya displays a toolbar at the bottom of your blog/website. It allows you to integrate a host of cool web applications directly onto your website such as translator, 3D photo galleries, direct Facebook and Twitter connection, social networking links, live notifications, random post, real time users, and many more!

The Wibiya Web Toolbar works on all the popular platforms.

LikeI prefer the TurnSocial bar because they have Yelp as an an app. I use it on our restaurant websites and Yelp carries reviews.
I tried Meebo and Wibiya and neither one had it..I was pretty surprised. and disappointed since I heard good things about Meebo.

LikeGreat list - these guys all make awesome products. I'd love to hear your feedback on the TurnSocial bar - we have a WP plugin as well, but we're focusing our efforts more on building a valuable tool for local and small business websites. As of writing this, we're still unique in helping our customers bring in local content based on their street address - check it out if you get a minute and let me know what you think!

LikeThe only problem is that most of these make other jQuery plug-ins stop working like Lavalamp Menu and Fancybox. The only ones I found no issues with were Apeture and Web Informer. Extendy kept giving me an error when I tried to sign up for it, that may be fixed soon though, who knows.

LikeYes, actually you're right about that. That's why I'm only using web Informer because it doesn't cause any problems to my other plugins. :)

LikeI really love your site because aside from your cool articles, the theme you're using is so unique because you made it yourself right? I also love the social sharing toolbar on your site. Why don't you make it as a plugin so other bloggers can use it too? :P
