How do you guys go about asking users to share your content? Since social is seemingly taking a bigger role in SEO now, I would like to think of ways to increase shares on my sites. I know that there is a plugin that asks users to share my content at the end of every article....but I forgot what that plugin is called. However, what ways are you guys going about asking users to share your content?

  • Hi treezie,

    Take a look at the Linkback menu in this thread for an example!

    There is AddThis, ShareThis, and AddToAny to name just a few.
  • we like SexyBookmarks and will soon release our own sharing plugin which is even cuter than that
  • A good call to action at the end of the content along with an easy way for them to share, such as the previously mentioned tools. That will go a long way to getting more shares.

    You can also try and incentivize shares with some sort of contest or giveaway.
  • Quite agree with everything guys said about adding share buttons and adding call to action. Additionally, work on developing your twitter account:
    1. Find like-minded users in your niche and follow their twitter accounts. Most of them will follow back.
    2. Tweet the new content of those who you follow on a regular basis.
    3. Get back to those who tweets your content personally to thank them - thus you'll create a loyal following.
