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.

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

Social widgets, iFrames, Duplicate content and more...
Hi guys, I am thinking about embedding a widget on my website that pulls social content from a number of networks. The script (javascript) creates and iFrame and serves up social content which is embedded in an external page ie: Tweet --> embedded on widget-domain.com/page.html --> embedded on my-domain.com via an iFrame. Questions: 1. Will this carry any SEO benefit? Will Google see this as "fresh + frequent" content?

2. Will this carry any SEO penalties? Will Google see this as duplicate content? I hope thats enough info to get some feedback - let me know if I can provide any more.0 -
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

Tracking FB views
This is somewhat off-topic, but this seems like a good place to ask. Has anyone used a script/code/3rd party service that allows you to track who has viewed your profile?

How to track the performance of my guest blog posts?
I am doing some guest blog posting.and I want to measure how successful my effort was: when deciding the value of the links from the article Does google take into account how many times the article is read? Because some people do not bother taking further actions (like/share/clicks) even they like it. how do you guys check the amount of reader of those articles? I can't track this article views through analytics obviousely. On the other hand let say the article create valuable info to the readers (many people read it) but no likes/shares/bookmarks would this still be a successful article marketing?

SEO and AddThis implementation question
We recently implemented AddThis social sharing on our Website. I am seeing an undesirable side-effect. In Firefox and Chrome browsers, some kind of tracking snippet appears to be appending to our URLs. This is not happening in IE (or if it is it isn't visible). I am concerned about how these URLs look in the address bar to our visitors and I'm also worried about potential duplicate content issues arising when a spider crawls the site. It appears to only be an issue with our product detail pages. The category pages all seem fine. [I am sure this is because social sharing button are only installed on the product pages]. Here is an example: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/product/williams-sound-personal-pa-377#.UFnvkVG-7Aw This URL should be: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/product/williams-sound-personal-pa-377 Is there a workaround for this problem? Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution? Thanks!
