How can I use the shar.es URL to see the underlying domain?
As part of the ShareThis product offering to our publishers, we provide analytics on how much traffic we generated for each share from their site. In order to properly track this sharing activity, we have implemented our own URL shortening service.
Users and publishers can continue to share normally from any web page or their browser plugin/bookmarklet without any action taken on your part.
If you wish to display information to users about the URL’s source domain, then please use one for the options below.
Option 1:Parse a query parameter on a URL that allows us to indicate the domain from which the shared URL originates:
Example: http://www.yoursite.com ?url=http://share.es/xyz&title=ExampleArticle&domain=example.com
Sharing services site (e.g. digg, delicious, technorati, etc) = http://www.yoursite.com
Shortened URL shared to yoursite.com = http://share.es/xyz
Title of the URL article = ExampleArticle
Domain of the URL article = Example.com
Option 2:Get the URL domain from a valid URL check:
Using the above example, the shared URL, http://share.es/xyz, already points to the domain example.com.
You should be able to identify the domain example.com when it resolves to http://shar.es/xyz.
