Social Bookmarking Links Thread

[Johnny5]

Have you guys found that members use these social bookmarking icons and having them on your forums results in increased traffic?

Is their a way to shorten the URL (tinyurl i.e.) the URL transmitted to twitter?

I have rather long urls with forumname/threadname etc ... and almost all 140 chars are eaten from that long urls ... twitter cut off the url anyways ... but after sending ...

Hello,

you an create a "Custom 301 Redirect" entry in vBSEO CP e.g.:

'short-url/' => 'forum-title/thread-title-XX.html'

Then submit www.domain.com/short-url/ and it will be redirected to www.domain.com/forum-title/thread-title-XX.html

Hello to everybody,I'm new here

Great thread indeed.

Anyone using Twitter sharing successfully yet? ( with url shortening built in )

Tried the "twitthis.com" plugin as suggested by someone on previous page but didn't quite work out...Twitter is HUGE and #1 referring site for me currently ( without any plugin )


Any help would be highly appreciated. This is crucial to me.

I'm interested in putting a 'tweet this' button in as well. This mod doesn't put the button quite where I'd need it. Maybe I can just modify it and put the button in manually:

Does anyone know if there is a way to look up links that have been added via the social book marking mechanism to see if users have been using them?

you could always check incoming referrals in your analytics program.

I believe this is it...

Is there a direct link to twitter rather than a use having to have a twit this account?

I think this is a VERY good point actually. If vbseo team could add an option in vbseo cp for social bookmaring thread link format that would be great.

We can then define /~[threadid] (eg. mysite.com/~29222)

This will then of course be redirected via 301. I dont think this is too much of a big ask really - if a social bookmarking thread format is defined then it could be used for all social bookmarks.

Does this make sense?

This should work for you:
