Add Google Buzz Button To Blogger Blog

Here is a step by step guide to add Google Buzz button to blogger/blogspot blogs :

  1. Sign in to your blogger blog and go to
    Dashboard -> Layout -> Edit HTML
  2. Find the following code
    <div class='post-header-line-1'>

    and paste the following code below it according to button size.

    For large size button :

    <a href='javascript:var%20b=document.body;var%20GR________bookmarklet_domain=&quot;http://www.google.com&quot;;if(b&amp;&amp;!document.xmlVersion){void(z=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;));void(z.src=&quot;http://www.google.com/reader/ui/link-bookmarklet.js&quot;);void(b.appendChild(z));}else{}'><img alt='Buzz this' src='http://img2.pict.com/15/da/3e/2809374/0/googlebuzz.png'/></a>

    The large button look like this :

Hi Im at present using Retweet and Digg on my single.php page, However Im reluctant to add Buzz, thinking the traffic it gives is very less when compared to the others, Do you suggest me to have a Buzz button, Are they really traffic driving sources?
Thanks

Well frankly speaking I didn’t try the Google Buzz button on my blog. I don’t think that it can send traffic as twitter or digg.

You are right William.. Removing these type of button help your site to load faster but your should have at-least 2-3 buttons for social bookmarking on your posts.
