| SharedCount - Track URL shares on Social Networks. |
There was a lot of traffic coming from Facebook to one of my blogs, but the traffic sources would show either https://www.facebook.com/ or m.facebook.com. I had no idea of finding out how many people have shared or liked it on Facebook. My search ended at Quora, where users had listed out a few ways to find the solution.
1. Take the link you want to check and append it behind http://graph.facebook.com/ , say the link is http://techno-geeks.blogspot.com/2013/06/fix-bsnl-broadband-dsl-link-problem.html we append it to the graph.facebook.com url, which makes it http://graph.facebook.com/http://techno-geeks.blogspot.com/2013/06/fix-bsnl-broadband-dsl-link-problem.html . Now open this link and facebook will show you how many times the link has been shared. The result would look like,
{
"id": "http://techno-geeks.blogspot.com/2013/06/fix-bsnl-broadband-dsl-link-problem.html",
"shares": 5
}
There is also another way, which is easier and more effective, You can use SharedCount service to check the link. The advantage of using ShareCount is that it not only shows you the number of Facebook shares, but also shares in other services like twitter, Google+, Pintrest, LinkedIn, Delicious and StumbleUpon. It still is not possible to exactly find out who or where the page has been shared.
