Also, don't forget (for new blogs especially) the negative social proof that no Diggs or tweets on the plug-in counters presents. I just wrote a <a href="http://paulhancox.com/blogging/how-to-get-more-retweets-and-traffic-for-your-blog-posts/" rel="nofollow">retweet link tutorial</a> on my blog - I found that Twitter users clicked on the links more than the "tweet me" plug-in buttons.
