Sharing Links Through Fb And Others

Posted by Anonymous on 9/1/2013 at 5:15 AM ET 250 Points

Hi,
users on my site share landing pages of my website through fb and other channels to their friends ( either on their own timeline or friend's) . Is there a way to get a count of the unique no of shares made my user to his friends?

There are various online tools for this, socialmetricspro.com. A brief look rendered this which allows Google Analytics to be triggered when a page is shared:

FB.Event.subscribe(‘edge.create’, function(response) {
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Category', 'Action', 'Label', 'Value']);
});

You could use Facebook's own metrics (you need 30+ likes on your Facebook business page for this to be visible).

Are you using Facebook (paid) advertising?

Does this get you any further?
