Find out the answers to these questions using your newly expanded AddThis Analytics Live View.

What’s Live View?

The AddThis Analytics Live View provides a look at what’s happening right now, across your site or for a specific page, including:

• A map showing where people are interacting with your pages
• A list of your top content, right now, based on shares and traffic back to your site
• Your viewers’ interests, and what they’re saying about your content on Twitter

The Live View also introduces new types of information to help you understand how your audience is interacting with your site:

• Searches: How many searches are bringing traffic to your site? What are your visitors looking for? Live View displays a list of top search keywords and phrases.
• Text copy tracking: While searches indicate what brought users to your site, text that visitors copy can help you understand what they found interesting, and whether these keywords align with your search meta-data to help maximize SEO. Learn more…

Zoom Into a Page

Interested in a particular page that’s trending? Zoom in for a closer look by clicking on it’s title, and discover how your visitors are interacting with that page, what searches brought them there, and what your audience is saying about that page on Twitter.

Turning on Address Bar Sharing Analytics for your website is super easy and only takes one additional line to your AddThis code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};
</script>

Share at the Speed of Chrome
We’ve updated our Chrome extension with “speed” in mind. Like you, we’re a huge fan of discovering interesting content and sharing it with our friends faster, with less clicks. Our new extension includes inline sharing to Facebook and Twitter, more customization features, and an updated visual design.

Quicker Sharing to Facebook and Twitter
Sharing to Facebook and Twitter will appear as a small inline window. All you have to do is authenticate once, and sharing becomes even more convenient. Here’s how it works if you share to Twitter…



More Customizable, with Over 300 Popular Services
There are other places I like to share to other than Facebook and Twitter. For me, I’ve customized my menu to show services like Instapaper, Gmail, and Tumblr. To customize your own menu, select “Options”. A new tab will open, and you can start customizing your menu as well as manage your connected accounts.



Download AddThis for Chrome
If you haven’t downloaded our extension, click on the image below. As always, send feedback and let us know what you think of the new design. Ps. If you like what you see, give a big high five to Angel and Foo for pulling this awesome update together.

Using Code Checkup

To checkup your own site, sign in to AddThis.com. When you start in Analytics, you’ll see a new link called Code Checkup next to your domain:

When you select that link, we’ll examine the code on your index page and make sure you’re all set to go with the latest AddThis analytics features like measuring traffic back to your site from social destinations, and tracking when your visitors copy your URLs into emails and IM conversations:

As always, we’d love to hear what you think about this new feature.

Not Registered with AddThis?

If you didn’t register when you got AddThis for your site, why not create an account and grab the latest code so you can take advantage of features like Code Checkup and industrial-strength analytics with live reporting and audience analysis? It only takes a moment, and we’ve added the latest sharing tools like Twitter Follow and Google +1.

We’ve added three new entries to AddThis Labs that demonstrate these ideas and introduce some exciting new sharing tools you can use in your site or blog.

Design Updates

All three tools utilize enhanced AddThis sharing experiences that include:

• a vertical sharing menu that presents more of the viewer’s personalized services to boost sharing
• a redesigned email interface
• a redesigned expanded service selection menu, to make finding your favorite services easier than ever
• a redesigned share counter to visually match other counters you might be using on your site

We want to hear from you!

We’d love to hear what you think about these features. Please visit our forum and leave us some feedback and as always, thank you for using AddThis.

One-click Sharing

When a user clicks the +1 button they will now have a simple way to type a message and share to their Google+ profile.

Personal Annotations

One more important change you will start seeing with your +1 button today is personal annotations.  When users hover over the button they will see which of their friends have +1’d the same content.  If you want to show those annotations in-line we have an API to support that.

Learn how to get +1 for your website by visiting the +1 features page.

In an ongoing effort to keep our APIs consistent, we’ve added in the ability to configure the Twitter share in our OExchange sharing API.

What this means is, like the Tweet button, you can now configure Twitter sharing through the sharing API to have custom actions, like “via @YourTwitterUsername” or customized text. You also have the ability to choose accounts you’d like a user to follow after he or she shares, like in the image below.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Like our Facebook Mentions and Recent Tweets, you do not need to do any set-up to receive the bit.ly data and this additional feature will give you an even bigger snapshot of how that specific piece of content is performing on all your different social channels.

Bit.ly stats are shown on the Content Detail page of the associated story, which you can find by clicking on any piece on content in your Analytics dashboard or from the Content tab.

If you have any feedback or requests for other 3rd party tracking services you would like to see in the AddThis Analytics, please post in the comments below or email us.

AddThis now supports registering and signing in with your Twitter account, along with the Facebook, Google and Open ID options already provided.

Several of your favorite social networking sites can make it easier to keep your data on other sites secure. We’re excited to offer popular options like Twitter, Facebook and Google so you don’t have to remember another account email and password.

If you have any questions or experience any issues, please feel free to visit our tech support forum or shoot us an email.

We are constantly trying to find ways to better connect you to all your social channels and give you the convenience of viewing your data all in one place.

The AddThis Team

Hey everybody! We’re performing some database upgrades tomorrow, we’ve scheduled downtime for our site on Tuesday, July 26th between 5AM EDT and 7AM EDT (9 AM to 11 AM GMT). The following services will be unavailable during this window:

AddThis.com
The support forums
Analytics.

Sharing will still be available and analytics will still be collected. We’ll be updating our status page (http://status.addthis.com/) to let everyone know what’s going on during this move.

Thanks in advance for your patience and for using AddThis!

Soon, we’ll be rolling out click tracking as a default feature for all users (you may already be using it). You don’t have to do anything to turn it on and you’ll start seeing click and viral lift data in your analytics dashboard. We’re going to use this data to provide you with more detailed traffic source reporting in the near future. Click tracking data is also used to optimize your content feeds which help recirculate traffic within your site.

To learn more about how click tracking works, including how to turn it off, take a look at the click tracking docs.

Happy sharing and please visit our forum if you have any questions.

If you’re a publisher you might be asking yourself, “How do I make this available to my users?” It’s easy, we’ve enabled this for everyone. Your site’s visitors are now even more able to share whatever they like, wherever they like.

The key highlights of what we did:

• Toolboxes are keyboard navable
• Toolboxes are marked up so screen readers can use them all
• The expanded menu is keyboard navable and closable with the esc key
• Graphs and maps in analytics have alternatives for screen readers

At AddThis, all of our users are important to us and we believe it should be as easy as possible for users to share content from their favorite publishers. This is just one step in our continuous journey to make AddThis as great as we can. We have been able to get some feedback from Russell Heimlich and other accessibility experts to help make this happen. If you have ideas or suggestions on how we can give you a high quality experience with AddThis, please get in touch!
