Add Twitter/Facebook share button to your Orble blog
March 18th 2010 23:35
Hi all,
Just a quick post tonight to explain how to add a Twitter share button to your Orble blog. I know some don't see the value of Twitter and some love it, but I honestly believe that Twitter can be a really solid traffic source. There are several main ways to get visitors from Twitter to your site or blog. Most are manual, ie you have to manually promote your blog/site via your tweets or profile. This way of promoting on Twitter requires no donkey work provided you offer valuable information.
If you are a good writer or provide solid content on your blog people love to share it. So instead of expecting Twitter users to manually log into their Twitter, compose a tweet (which can be hard with only 140 characters), then send it to followers make sure you have a one button solution. All my recent posts on Orble have a button to share my post via Twitter and it has increased traffic.
Heres how:
Go to Addthis and you are presented with 3 questions and a confirmation:
1) Select Your Service
I answered website which works fine with Orble
2) Select Your Button Style
I chose the third one down, which shows Twitter/Facebook icons
3) Analystics
I chose no, just give me the button
4) You're done with a block that says "Get Your Button"
Once you see this, just copy what's in the rectangular box to the left. Save it somewhere convenient. Every time you post a blog post paste this code at the end with before the text and after it
It really is that simple, and whenever a Twitter or Facebook user enjoys one of your posts they can share it with friends with only 2 clicks.
I hope this has helped, please feel free to contact me if you require extra info
