How to Track Facebook Link Shares

Mar 2011

21

Ever wanted to see how many times your link has been shared on Facebook? The folks at HackerNews found out – just use the link below (with your own URL) to get a count. Unfortunately, some URLs (such as YouTube) may be normalized.

 

http://graph.facebook.com/http://seattle.twestival.com

 

will return:

  • {
    “id”: “http://seattle.twestival.com”,
    “shares”: 80
    }

LinkedIn counts can be found as well:

Enjoy!
