I made a card.ly ( www.card.ly/jennrathbun ) page last week. I happend to use the same theme Lani used (how cool is that!). I also have the www.JenniferRathbun.com page.

But I’m just beginning to wonder how many of these are just reposting the same thing over and over again?

I have 3 photo accts (more if you could work and personal for some of those), several pages that have links to my other social media.

Links on my blog, links on facebook, links in newsletters.

It took me 2 days to make sure all of my webpages were updated! But do I choose flikr over picasa? Linked in over plaxo? MyBloglog or Dipity? Slide or slideshare or docstoc?

It’s not about how many blogs you’re on, it’s about putting all of your social networks in one spot. If you blog and don’t use Twitter, FB, Flickr, LinkedIn, etc. that would be fine, but it’s frequent that we see people all over the place with no single placeholder.

You COULD do this on your own by creating a page on your blog, however in my opinion, 99.999% of blogs are not nearly as aesthetically pleasing as the two options above, so it’s a matter of preference.

Follow up thought…I keep hearing that I should have a landing page on my blog for those profile URLs instead of just directing them to the home page.The landing page would be customized to speak directly for the site visitors coming from your profile page on social media sites.

So, couldn’t you basically do this for yourself…creating an interior hidden page that lists your profiles and a brief bio…and speaks directly to the type of visitor who are checking it out? It would give you a way to let people connect with you however they chose, while still sending them to your main blog and capturing the link love.

I think this makes a lot of sense for people who write on multiple blogs or have several websites. Instead of having to pick just one site to put on your social networking profiles, you can give visitors everything and let them choose. And, it makes a lot of sense who is marketing themselves as a social media educator/professional.

But for someone like me who is currently directing all of my efforts towards getting people to my business blogsite, this would require an extra click from visitors wanting to find out about me and many people will bounce off this card instead of clicking through to my site.

Also, doesn’t having the links from the profiles going to my website help my website with Google? Wouldn’t I be loosing the link juice if I directed them to this business card instead?

I DO think it is a good idea, just not for someone with only one website/blog.
