I have decided to implement the most common social media plugins into my website design. These being FB, Twitter, Google & LinkedIN.

 

I am coming to you all because I am wondering what types of placement you have used and which scenarios you deem most useful. I own a web hosting company and have implemented the links on my homepage, plan pages, organization information pages, announcements and knowledge-base articles. I have added them to my header, but did think about placing them in the footer. Please check out placement (www.option9.com) and let me know what your thoughts are.

 

As well: For each page the plugins are on should I use my homepage as the href source or the current page url? Which would be better?

Imo, share buttons should always be placed AFTER an article. Just my own 2 pence.
