Sweet Free Tool Shows You How Many Social Shares Your URL Got

By Ryan Gray on February 25, 2013 1

There’s a new free tool floating around the blogosphere now called LinkTally that allows you to input any url and it will retrieve how many times the url was shared socially.

Originally introduced by Dan Zarrelly on the Hubspot Blog, LinkTally can be useful for:

  • Compare the success of blog article topics on a number of sites to brainstorm new content ideas.
  • Determine which content formats (e.g. infographics vs. text-based-content vs. video content, etc.) are most popular for social sharing.
  • Pinpoint which social networks to use to help launch certain types of content in the future? (For example, if you notice that infographics take off on Facebook, or your LinkedIn audience prefers content about certain topics.)
  • Check out the social read of various blogs to identify targets for guest blogging.
  • Measure the social success of your competitors’ content for benchmarking purposes.

Here’s a screenshot of the tool in action:  (PS – Thanks Dan for a cool new tool!)

    Very cool – I've been using OpenSiteExplorer.org from SEOMoz. If you use the free version they don't provide the social share info – but if you do have an SEOMoz account you can get all the social shares instantly. This new site is a great way to generate email addresses and share some social stats on your URL. Nice idea.
