What information is available in the Reporting Dashboard?

Button Views and Clicks

  • Page Views – number of times a page on your site with the button on it is viewed
  • Widget Serves – number of times the ShareThis button is clicked on your site

The “Traffic sources” bar graph and pie chart break down the locations to where your users are sharing. They will report on all social web services on your own custom ShareThis widget as well as the locations sent to on your widget’s “Send” tab.

The “Most Popular Content” box lists the content most shared on your site in descending order.

Why is my domain not listed?

In order to view reporting information for your domain or subdomain, you must go to the manage domain page and add each domain or subdomain you wish to track. Ensure that each domain or subdomain is verified. If they are verified, then you can navigate to the Reporting Dashboard to see your reporting data immediately.

Why do I get a “domain not verified” message?

We have eliminated the domain verification process, domains will appear on your reporting dashboard as soon as you add them.

If it has been 48 hours since you’ve added the domain, and you are still not receiving any data, the publisher ID number in your ShareThis widget code may not be associated with your ShareThis account.  If this has occurred, please double-check the publisher ID on your site.

If that still does not work, send a message to feedback@sharethis.com and our support team will get this resolved.

How do I locate my publisher ID?

Your publisher ID is located in the ShareThis widget code. It is a 32 character unique identifier that links your ShareThis button(s) to your ShareThis account. The ShareThis widget code is generated in our widget configurator and is placed in you website code when you add the button to your website. Below is a truncated example of ShareThis widget code:

<script src=”http://w.sharethis.com/widget/…publisher=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000″ type=”text/javascript”></script>

The number proceding “publisher=” is your publisher ID.
