Track social shares of my webpage
-
Hello !
I've just implemented new images on my website and I would like to know what is the best tool to track them on social media (how many are tweeted, shared on facebook, etc.).
The best would be a tool telling me that this photo was shared X times on faebook, Y times on twitter, etc;
What is the best tools for you ?
Tks a lot !

Best regards

Hi, depending on which CMS you are using there may be a plugin you can use to add the Google Analytics tracking code to your website.
Which CMS do you have?
With regard to the tracking code, if you haven't done so already you will need to create a Google Analytics account for your website domain. In the process you will be given a portion of code to include in your web pages. However, if you can use a plugin with your CMS all you need to get is the unique tracking ID for your website from your Google Analytics account. This will come in the format:
UA-xxxxxx-xx
where the Xs will be numbers.
I hope that helps,

Hello
That's a very good way of doing it. As I'm not a technical expert it looks a bit difficult.
Do you know any easier way to integrate it into CMS ?

I have found the best way track Facebook and Twitter is through Google Analytics. Google Analytics automatically tracks Google Plus on initial setup, but for Facebook and twitter it requires additional code within the share buttons. You can find the documentation to setting this up at Google Developers Social Interactions - Web Tracking. Let me know if you have any additional questions or need any help with implementation.

Hi, if you are not already a subscriber there are social tracking tools within Moz's new Moz Analytics in which you can for example track your site's "Most Engaging Posts".

How do I add subdomain tracking to an existing Google analytics account that was set up to track website only (without the subdomain option)
I know you can track subdomains by just selecting the proper code when you set up the analytics and then create filters for the data in analytics. But how do you add a subdomain for existing analytics website. Is there a way to go back and change to the option to include subdomains and then I assume just replace the tracking code with the new code that Google delivers for this?

URL String Tracking Question--Need help!
I am doing some research for a freelance project and found a URL receiving a decent amount of traffic from search with this url string after the normal page url (xxx.com/credit-card-counseling.aspx?match=e&query=debthelper.com&id=22097628847&id=1810807655) Is this some sort of GA tracking code? Why would it be used on that page to track organic search hits if that happens automatically? Would love some help figuring this out! Thanks,

Subdomain tracking codes on subdomain and not root
Afternoon all. I’m pretty sure this is going to be fine but I thought I would seek some confirmation before I action anything. We have a blog subdomain on our site, I have just noticed that the entire blog (built in Wordpress) has no analytics tracking code on it. As this is built in Wordpress I have just logged in on an admin account I think people forgot I had and added the code to the header section as it is a two second job. My question is this – On the main account, subdomain tracking has not been turned on, so the root domain has not got the additional _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'rootdomain.co.uk']); line of code in it. I have included this on the blog.rootdomain.co.uk code as is necessary to enable tracking. Will this work or cause tracking issues? I think it should be ok. I don’t want to have to update the root domain code if I can avoid it as that will need to go through the development team and may take weeks as they are swamped and under resourced. Thanks, Rich.
