How to link your Blog to Facebook and Twitter

Social media marketers like for all of their pages to be synced together so that when you update one page it will automatically update on their other pages.  There is a Facebook application called "Networked Blogs" that makes it easy for any blogger to post a link automatically on their Facebook page and Twitter page when they write a new blog post.  Not only does this save you time, but it also looks good on your Facebook page, and creates a tiny URL so it will fit on your Twitter page.

Having a link to your blog posts show up automatically does a few things for your blog.  The first thing is that it will make it easier for your followers to see when you add new content to your blog if they are not subscribed to your blog already.  Having the link show up on your website also helps your blog out because the more links you have directed to your blog the more it helps your Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  Lastly, it gives you more content on your Facebook page so you do not have to put up new posts every day as well as write on your blog and do everything else social media marketing entails.
