I always think giving the ability for your readers to quickly and easily promote your blog increases the chance your site will be submitted, dugg, or stumbled. I certainly have seen an average of 2-4 retweets of most of my blog posts since I installed Tweetmeme so I presume the same can happen with other social submitting sites.

I also have used many different plug-ins to find the best mix of social sites, and then I found Social Bookmarking Reloaded, which has more social submitting buttons than any other plug-in I have seen. They are very small and placed at the footer of your blog post, in one or more columns that you can specify. You can trim down the number of sites that are submitted to, but I would leave as many as you can just to capitalize on someone who may see a digg button, or stumble button, or mixx button and submit your site.

This is one decent plug-in to have and from my initial testing it doesn’t seem to draw much cpu or memory for the PHP process so shouldn’t risk going over memory, it doesn’t track how many submissions were done for each post (the plug-ins that do that tend to draw the most ram). If you are serious about adding social submitting buttons to your blog, you should check out Social Bookmarking Reloaded.
