    Wow great information on this site. Learning all sorts of new things. I like that everything is explained in normal English and not in a complicated way like other sites do. Thanks again.

    Hello, first of all this is a very informative article I must say. We can not ignore the influence of Social Media sites on our blogs. One who is not giving importance to social media sharing and not optimizing, that person is wasting his/her time behind a blog.

  3. Hi Ann!

    I agree with you that we must test our social sharing buttons and everything on our website – on a Mobile Device!

    You are very right, the statistics are only showing a tremendous growth in the Mobile Industry. More and more people are accessing the internet, most of the time, via their smart phones. And it is because a smart phone is very convenient and a lot more accessible than a Laptop or Desktop. 😉

    People usually carry their smart phones with them (at all times), right?

    Making sure your website is very mobile friendly and that your social sharing buttons work properly – is very crucial to the success of your site!

    Thank you very much for sharing your tips here. These are very useful!

    Keep up the great work!

    Cheers! 😀

    1. Exactly, Freddy.. It’s astounding how many website owners never actually tried using their site from a mobile device! Most sites are completely unusable on mobile!

  4. Hi! Ann,

    I am a regular reader of this blog from a long time and learned many blogging skills from this blog (Thanks for Ileane Maam). You have covered a really important topic in your guest post.

    I agree with you completely.

    Today it’s not the right decision to invest on Television ads and things like that (It’s not 2003 anymore). Nowadays people spend most of the time on social media and thats why investing there can help you generate more leads.

    If you are missing social sharing buttons on mobile than you are really losing several hundreds of leads and If you really want to convert them, Everyone should follow your advice.

    Thanks again, Sharing this post on Twitter with my followers. 🙂

    Cheers,
    Umair

  5. Hello Ann,

    Nice information about mobile social share and tips on how we can carry it on our blog.

    Optimizing our site for mobile sharing is very important and should be in our VIP list, if we want to drive in more traffic.

    There are some social sharing plugins that offer you share button specifically for mobile users and renders another for PC users… plugin like that can increase your share chances.

    Thanks for dropping a nice article such as this. Do have a beautiful week ahead…

      1. Hello Once again,

        Thank you

    Ann, really you write something special because people alway focus on web version social media sharing but not mobile version. From my hands on experience i also found the same, most of my visitor are reading from mobile.

  9. Very informative post. Personally I uses Sumome for personalize social media sharing for mobile version of my blog. I love its feature and it is very easy to setup.

  10. While social media traffic won’t be generating much revenue(as per my experience) it certainly helps ranking up the search results. And since maximum social media traffic comes from mobile devices websites should be certainly optimised for sharing.

  11. Hello Ann! Thanks for the this article. I think social media has become the largest source of traffic for websites and most of the people use social networking sites on their mobile phones. So this is really necessary to well optimize those links as perfectly explained by you. Keep up the good work! 🙂

  12. Great insights Ann,

    There is no doubt that mobile is gradually taken over the internet which is why every marketer should always put it first.

    Creating a mobile version of your site is really what no serious marketer should even think twice before implementing because its worth every efforts.

    I’ve not really thought of creating a mobile app for my site but i think i should look into that. Will check out the tool your suggested for that.

    Thanks for sharing.

  13. Hi Ann,

    #2 really is something to worry over; I have lost count on number of websites I had visited, read the content and wanted to share. Click on the share button only to open in my default browser, oh! Password again?

    Who remember that? What next? I just move on and do something else…..that’s it.

    I had learned over the years that one of the best way to get people interested in sharing your content is by not offering too many choices to share.

    Choose two or three at most social sharing buttons, hopefully these should be where your most target audience hang around the most and ask your readers to share in those places.

    giving too many choices to choose from may result into not making any at all.

    Thanks Ann, nice read.

  14. Great information shared. Social media is highly recommended for promoting online business.
    Go Social !
    Thanks

  15. Thanks for Informative post. We can’t ignore social media sharing on mobile devices. If we have responsive sharing button then they will automatically optimize for our mobile site. So try to use that Social Sharing Plugin, which has responsive design layout.

  16. Optimizing mobile interface is really necessary. If you notice in Google Webmaster tool, it is announced that this optimization will directly influence search ranks

  17. Social media sharing gives power to pages but it happens only for famous blogs, so adding new features might help to increase sharing. Thank You.
