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!

You guys are great, Thanks. I'm amazed by your response times and even AddThis came back to me by email in under a minute.

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

How to make this informational site successful
Hello, We've got a problem with one of our sites. Our main writer is too advanced for the mainstream SERPs. She is a genius at what she does and really writes beyond where the mainstream looks. Way beyond. I can't even ask her to dumb down, it doesn't make sense. I don't think we're going to hit any of the main (mainstream) keywords with this site because of it, which is fine, but what advice do you have to making money off ads with content like that? There doesn't even really exist keywords for her articles. It's hard to explain. The traffic will be small because the audience is large enough if we got the whole thing but small compared with mainstream. I think mainly experts will understand her. The area of writing is conspiracy, fringe, ancient knowledge, progressive science, healing, consciousness, spirituality. I guess I'm wondering what you guys would do. It would be great if this site could make a good income. She's been studying the topic nonstop for fifteen years. Thanks.

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 -
Is Moz really able to track G+ properly
Hi, I have invested a good deal of time building a G+ community, from nothing to 137 (as of today) We post regular good quality mini blogs and images. We interact with communities and link back to our our own blog. We don't sell on it, it 100% user friendly content. I am getting 10 or so shares per post and 20 or so likes 2-3 times week. My questions are this: Why can't Moz track page views or post activities for posts on different communities? With all this work we still not able to fully intergrate G+ into our Moz view of the world Thanks James

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?

Follower Wonk Did You Forget To Add Sentiment Tracking?
Buongiorno from Wether by UK Latitude 53.92705600 Longitude -1.38481600 Ok after 20 mins or clicking around https://followerwonk.com/ I couldnt find any way of measuring sentiment tracking. For example i wanted to know how many users where mentioning @PhilpottsLtd but all i could get was a salvo of follow data. Whilst I know this is of some use sentiment tracking i.e being able to measure users dissing or loving your brand would be more usefull. So my question is please..."In follerwonk how can you measure whats being said about a brand" Grazie Tanto, David

Anyway to analyse Facebook Success?
Great news, yesterday we had a nice big spike of referrals from facebook, GA shows them all going to a certain article (an online magazine type site), but only shows them as coming from /l.php (Report: Traffic sources->referrals->facebook.com - secondary dimension landing page) Nobody in the office did anything with facebook and that article, so it must be a visitor; any ideas how we can find out any more details about who or why? It would be great to be able to reproduce as in the 4th April saw more FB traffic to us than March!
