Facebook Recommend Button
Email
 Print
|
For as much as is written on Bargaineering, I rarely write about Bargaineering but today I wanted to point out a button we added a few months ago in order to increase the popularity of the site. Underneath each title, next to the Email and Print buttons is a Facebook Recommend button. It’s a way to recommend articles you find on the site to your friends and a way to share with them the awesomeness of the site.
I wanted to point that in out in case you didn’t see it and hope that I’m writing well enough stuff that you’re happy to recommend to your friends. If I’m not, please share your thoughts and I appreciate your candor. You can leave anonymous comments (I won’t try to “figure out” who you are) if you’d like, I just want honest opinions.
My second question is that if you do use buttons like this on a site, whether it’s here or elsewhere, how often do you do it? What are you comfortable recommending (versus liking)? I use Facebook but not as much as some and so I’m always interested to hear what you guys think about the whole phenomenon.
Thanks!

I tend to share news articles more. But I will start sharing more. I think you sent this article a little quickly though…. seems to be a few grammatical errors. (we all make them these days)
Love the site. I have been able to apply a lot of what I learn here to my day to day life. Keep up the good work
Thanks cvargo, I did get a little jumpy with this one, I fixed what errors I could find.
I’m kind of surprised you didn’t have a like/recommend button earlier. I thought it was kind of a no brainer for a blog to have one.
I did but it’s a little hidden up there.
I don’t do Facebook but do recommend this site to others. I love it and the articles are relevant to most people and their struggles to make that dollar stretch. This site outdoes Yahoo finance articles in the self help area. Yahoo should just have a direct link to Bargaineering.
I’ve never used a Facebook Recommend button, and never use Like buttons, except when it’s necessary to enter a sweepstakes.
The two are actually the same button, just different labels.
I don’t use Facebook but I do recommend sites to others by sending them a link and an explanation. For those who don’t use computers– like my husband
— I often copy/paste/print an article of interest.
I do use the “email this” IF it asks for the email address and sends it directly from the site, but not if it opens OUTLOOK.
i often send articles to friends, but i will try to use this option more often for you!
People in my network often share articles they read. I think its a good idea, thumbs up
Just want to say I find your site is very interesting and helpful.
I do recommend you to friends.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks.
