Your Wix Site Goes Social
What is Social Bookmarking?
Social Bookmarking is a way for internet users to save, share and organize their favorite webpages online.
What Can our New Social Bookmarking Footer Do for You?
From now on, any visitor that enters your site will be able to share your content with their friends by hitting one of the social media icons on the footer. Your visitors will be converted into marketers by sharing the link to your website with their contacts, followers and friends on different social networks. This means more exposure for your personal or business website.
What Social Networks are Included in the Footer?
For the time being, we chose to include some of the most popular social media and social news websites: Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz, Digg and StumbleUpon.
However, we’d love to get your feedback about which networks are most beneficial to your business or have the target audience you’re trying to reach.
How Do I Integrate the New Footer to My Wix Site?
Since the Social Bookmarking Footer is still in beta, it’s currently available only on our Photo Focus template. There’s no need to actively add the footer – it will be automatically integrated into your website. Please be sure to add relevant title and description to your website. Potential visitors will not click on a link unless presented with a clear idea of what they’re about to view.

I’m so happy to see the improvements that are being made to Wix! I love it!
I would love to test out this footer, and give my feedback, as I’ve been trying to replicate something similar for a while. I would love to be a beta tester.
In regards to the social channels to add, it would be great to see LinkedIn added, for business users.
Thanks for the great work Wix Team! I can’t wait to see the mobile version when it comes out too! I’d love to be a beta tester for that as well, so keep me in mind!
Thanks!

Hi there, loving wix! I have a question. I have searched but cannot find the anser. I have the like button on my website as you can see. However when a visitor clicks the ‘like’ button, I know that it gets shared with all their friends, however it does not show up on my facebook page that they like me. Hence they will not get my updates and news feeds. That make sense? How do I know who liked me and can they be added as a like to my facebook page automatically? Thanks. Rebecca
