Addthis widget tracking success
-
Hi All,
How do I know if people are using an addthis widget setup on product pages. The widget seems to be in an annoying location for me personally and I want to move it or replace it with just a few social media buttons.

How do I track its effectiveness?

Would you use Addthis widget or manual buttons on ecommerce?
Thanks in advance!

How do I track AddThis effectiveness?
AddThis offers analytics on their website. They will also email reports to you as per a schedule you establish on their site.

You should have complete control over the location the widget appears along with the size and composition of the widget.
My default preference is to offer the following buttons: facebook, twitter, google +1, preference 1, bookmark, mail, addthis. To clarify, these are all provided from the addthis widget. You can add or remove any button as desired. The most popular buttons you want to appear while the less popular buttons would require the user to hover over or click on the addthis button to access over 300 other social sharing tools.
Would you use Addthis widget or manual buttons on ecommerce?
Yes. Social sharing can give a significant lift to SEO and sales.

How do I track its effectiveness?
AddThis has analytics for your account. You can go in there and see what is getting shared, what service it is shared by and a lot more. If you change location of the widget you can see if it changed the number of actions that you are getting.
You can even see how many people click on the shares via facebook. If it gets more than 100% rate they call it "viral".
Would you use Addthis widget or manual buttons on ecommerce?
We have add this on every page of every important site that we own - retail and information. We have it at two locations on every page of our information site. The big buttons in the header and smaller buttons within content.

I dont use Addthis, but do you not have an admin area to track clicks?
Try and always keep Social up high where possible, unless it isn't feasible

FB Sharing Contest Tracking Question?
We are going to give-a-way a PS4 through a social media contest. Likes, g+ circles and shares, but I wasn't sure if there was a problem tracking shares. I always thought I could just look at my FB posts and it would say how many shares. All I want to do is people to give someone an extra entry for sharing one of my post on his or her FB page. However, I've read that tracking shares can be difficult. I think the shares that are difficult to track are the ones beyond what I need, like if a 3rd party shared it or something, but I'm not sure. I want the contest to be as accurate as possible. Can anybody confirm or correct my thinking, please? Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Ruben

How do I track my Facebook page rank?
Hey guys, Probably a newbie question, but I'm wondering if there's a way to track Facebook (or other offsite profiles that I own) pagerank along with my domain? I'm working on a project right now where I noticed we're not on the front page for our search term, but our Facebook page is. It would just be helpful to have that info for a more complete SEO picture. Thanks!

Social Media Signals with AddThis?
Good day guys, Just a quick question. By having the AddThis sharing tool to share content such as blogs, does it still send the same social signals to Google as you would get by having the official Facebook/Twitter plug-ins? Regards
