Get more traffic - increase traffic using free AddThis service
73Look at the picture you see here. The real item generates more traffic for hub page writers by allowing them to share their content with others. "AddThis" will let you get more traffic with the most popular sharing platform in the world. Ask yourself this: If sharing can help you to get traffic, then what is the best and fastest way to get traffic? By sharing your content and whatever it is you want to share. Now you can share your content, and add more followers to your content. Help your users share your content everywhere. It only takes seconds to get AddThis, and it's free! Free to register, free to load, free to use, and the widgets and api's go on your blogs, websites, using twitter, facebook, myspace, Google, and the AddThis system. It is the Bees knees. So how does it work?
In a nutshell, the AddThis service will bring traffic from outside hub pages into hub pages community and to your hubs, and you will get more reads, more fans , followers and increase your traffic. Using AddThis, besides being able to share your content, and share with AddThis, you will discover how your content is being shared, and how your most influential audience members are bringing traffic back to your sites or hubs. You will learn what interests them – and to what degree – and how those interests are driving sharing. And for any aspiring web content creator be they hub page writer, blogger article creator or whatever...this is invaluable. That is a pretty impressive claim, cheeky, but how does that work- I hear you chuckle. It uses a free Analytics service that comes included free with AddThis. It is a shame that more companies that involve social media don't allow analytics, or the ability to analyse how your traffic is generated, where the hell it comes from and how your content is shared and read / viewed. Well, forget all that crap - AddThis gives you this for free. Is this crazy or what!
Once you register a username and an email address and password, you are inside the website and a raft of cool features await you. It is worth checking out the many buttons and widgets you can add to your website or blog or facebook page or for your twitter, so people can tweet your pages. These buttons shown here are some of what is available and free to use.
The range of services you can share content with is awesome. It is compatible with Blogger, Google, Facebook, Weebly, Tumblr, Typepad, Digg, Wordpress, MySpace, Joomla, Drupal, Movable Type, RSS, Email Newsletters (I found it works cool with Listwire!), Flash, and on pretty much any website.
It allows customisation too. Simply integrate sharing with APIs, Flash and more. All you do is change and tweak the colors, swap out the destinations, add your branding or hub name or username or ID. Adjust the menu offset and delay, or simply customize the entire experience with the menu API. For total control, you can create your own sharing menu with a new toolbox feature. I am so new to this, I have yet to test it, but it looks great, and I have more nice homework ahead of me. My website already sports the AddThis features.
AddThis sports plug-ins for Chrome browser, Firefox and Internet Explorer. In the Analytics dept, it impresses very much! You can analyse Audience trends, service trends, content trends, geographical trends, and other cool features like domain filtering, see where your audience comes from and what places you get shared, what boundaries you are crossing. (It's nice to traverse boundaries.) Custom date selection is available in analytics, and has Click Tracking and has an Analytics API. And it is compatible with Google Analytics too. (Tip, if you register for this service with a gmail account, then so much the better, as it integrates better with Google Analytics.)

The AddThis service is optimised for mobiles too. Everything available on AddThis is free to put on any website or blog. Go to AddThis and check out this amazing free site. If you use twitter as I do and have 350 followers or more, then expect more visits to your hubs, provided you post tweets that link to your hubs or provided you use your profile url on hub pages. Same with Facebook. It makes is very easy for others to share your content on lots of different places on the internet. And sharing is what the internet is all about. Point your links into your pages here in Hub Pages and watch your traffic grow.
As we all know, more sharing = more traffic. More traffic = more income from Adsense and Amazon or Clickbank. Are we reading me loud and clear?
If a thing is worth having - you usually have to pay for it. Facebook and twitter are free, and have proven their ability to generate traffic. And AddThis is free too. It's great to have some thing worth having and not have to pay for it. I totally recommend this great service.

Great Post Cheeky!!!
Rhonda G.
Hey Cheeky, I am doing a test and am using your comment box for a video I am doing!
Again,
Great Job On Your Hubs!!! :)
Wow. Very comprehensive and useful info, although you'll have to excuse me while I pick myself up from the floor. It will take me some time for someone like me to take advantage of what is obviously very powerful tools and something you're so very good at. Thanks. I'll catch up ... someday.
Will Huff
So happy to see you my darlin friend, and I have been using addthis for years. Love it...I miss you and happy so see your excellent hub, rate up up love & peace darski
Hy Rhonda, Thanks for the comments, I had to remove one of the dupes there as it was spammy, but yes, I appreciate the comments on my hub. Your vids are good. I am a true convert to this AddThis system, it really rocks. Being able to get more traffic in this day and age is a godsend, and twitter and facebook are great ways to get it, the AddThis website has some great widgets and services that get more followers and traffic, so I encourage everyone to check it out, and it is free too. Cheers!
Hy bnix, it.s not that hard at all, just go to the main website of AddThis and register, then make a free blog somewhere and add the links to your hub pages from it and put plenty of those AddThis buttons and widgets pointing at whatever pages on the net you want to get traffic to. They will do the work. More traffic, higher ratings, and more Adsense earnings for you on hubs. Easy! Like paying yourself a second pay check. Cheers, Will.
Hello Darski, moi darlin friend. Well, if you are using AddThis then I am not surprised. You are well served by this free service, and you must be getting great traffic already. Traffic is everything on hubs. Well okay - not exactly everything! Heh! But you know it helps a lot. Have a great day! Love and peace too! :D
Thanks for the rating, Darlene! :)
Had never heard of this but will be signing up for it over the weekend. Am printing this out to reread later, great hub Cassy, and rated way uppppppppppppppp!!!
Enjoy yer weekend moi friend xoxo
Hi, I'm a bit confused how to use this to get more traffic to my hubs, I understand you can add this to your blog etc, but how can you use this effectively in hubs ?
Don't be cheeky!
Fantastic hub Cheeky Girl, you keep on coming up with really good helpful hubs, so i am going to rate up, click on useful and anything i can possibly do!!!
Bookmarked as well!!!!
Hy Art! Wow, you never heard? Well, print away! Gosh, you should join up. Once you join up, you'll see how easy it all works. It's great. I have added some widgets on my apartment website already. My stats went up straight away. (Though twitter does that a lot now for me) I have another hub I am putting up this weekend, slightly similar to this, you'll like it, Art. I am having fun on the Problems forums just now (in another tab!) So Cool! You enjoy your weekend too, moi friend! Big Hug from me n Cathy! XOXOX
Hy rumbling - oh this is easy. If you have a facebook account, and your profile has your hub pages main profile page in it so people can see it, just post and link to it, direct people to it or to a particular hub you want to promote. You can do similar with twitter. I have a shedload of people who check out my twitter profile each day, cos they tell me when they follow me there, and they see what niches I follow too. In your main hub page profile, people will see hopefully what your profile is there (if you put in details there.) So you can tweet about your new hubs on twitter an all those twitter followers and others who follow or have an interest in that niche will go to your hubs. Use the twitter # tag (hash tag) and put #seo or #hubpages or #blog or #rumbling or whatever. Search engines like google index tagged terms in twitter. So even search results could list your tweets. Hence, lots of traffic, all heading to your profile in Hub pages. This stuff is free. The more your hubs show up indexed by search engines, the more relevant and more important they are. Get twitter and facebook, and join AddThis, and share the links and get more traffic. Add the AddThis buttons to your blogs. More traffic again. It is that easy. Hope this helps you. Cheers!
Hy G Miah! Me cheeky, naw, who said I was cheeky? LOL! Thanks for the rating. Getting traffic is a big thing these days on the web, and especially on Hubs. We all love more traffic, do we not. And Hub Pages owners love to see outside traffic being directed in here thanks to things like AddThis. It's a Win-win situation.
Feel free to tweet the hub too, if you like! But you have been so generous, I don't want to sound insincere. You are a true fan, and I thank you for the bookmark too. Good hubs are useful hubs people get real information from. Best kind of hubs I know, really. Cheers! Have a great weekend, everyone!
Wow wow a new hub from my Curly friend :) This is jawdropping! The add-this widget really is effective. I've been using this in moi wrongsent blog and I gotta say it really does the job so well. I don't advertise or promote my blog site but it still survives and receives traffic till now. One great factor I think is that add-this widget and you linking moi site to yours ;)
Two thumbs! Cheers! XO
I've seen it and thought about it, but now I guess I will have to take a second look. Thanks for the tip!
really good work i read it and thanks for giving such tips.
Hello Fehl er..I mean twentyfive! LOL! Well thank you for the comments, and yes, I know you are having a great success with the widgets. I had a peek at them, and they are doing the business for you, Fehl. Wow, you should advertise the blog, you'd get more traffic to it and they'd follow your hub links to your hub pages and get more reads! I am just gently suggesting it! You would have a higher hub rating if you wanted, Fehl. But since you are amazing enough, you are doing very well, dear! Heh! Well the more joining up the better as everybody is a winner! *wink* You are terrific as always, Fehl! Thanks for the thumbs too! (two!) Cheers! And have a great Saint Valentine's weekend! Mine is pretty amazing so far! XO
Hello Duchess, thanks for checking out my "get more traffic ... using AddThis" hub! For the widgets it can freely put on blogs and websites, it is worth it. For the analytics, it gets a lot better, and for the bringing of traffic, it rules! Do check it out!
Hello dusy7969: thanks for the comments also, and I am happy to do anything to help get people more traffic with my hubs. Cheers! Have a great day everybody! :)

Hello Linda! Glad you liked my hub. I know you have a blog as I have checked it out and it is great, so yeah, try out the AddThis if you like. It is free to use and register. I got it running on my website, and will be adding it to my other blogs this weekend. Have a nice weekend too! :)
SWEET! Love the hub :-) I write for a website design and development company in San Antonio (content/ SEO and whatever) and a handful of other places via the internet and completely agree with your recommendation. Great tool for increasing traffic and part of what makes it so great is that it is free! We all love free! Two thumbs up! Perhaps I shall share your hub? :-)
Hello H.C. - thanks for the love! Hey I agree, anything that helps promote and help increase traffic and all the good things that follow with this - is good in my book. AddThis is cool, and I have it on 2 websites and it is doing the business for me. Thanks for the 2 thumbs! Heh! Share the hub? Jump on the tweet and Facebook tabs and bookmark all you like! And yes - spread the word. Cheers! :)
