The problem has since been fixed. After reading through the user comments in the Firefox Extension (http://blog.vkistudios.com/index.cfm/2008/10/6/social-media-metrics-greasemonkey-plugin-for-google-analytics), I have two thoughts about why it isn't showing up: either you are not viewing it with Firefox Mozilla browser, or you do not have the Greasemonkey script enabled on your browser. I disabled Greasemonkey to check this, and the extension does not show social analytics when it is disabled. If you are still having issues with this, I'd suggest leaving a comment for the developer at the linke I provided earlier.

I've looked in the dashboard and on certain posts, but am not seeing anything resembling clicks on the social bookmarks I have installed. Could you provide a bit more guidance on that, please? Hi there,

I installed the Google Analytics plugin, but I’m not seeing where I should be looking for the social bookmarking sharing results. I’ve looked in the dashboard and on certain posts, but am not seeing anything resembling clicks on the social bookmarks I have installed. Could you provide a bit more guidance on that, please?

I've been frustrated with not being able to track shares. When you are free at Wordpress.com, you can track sharing, but not without plugins when self-hosting. I'm going to try these out and see what works the best. This is a great list. I’ve been frustrated with not being able to track shares.

However, a consistent twitter presence will drive people to a website for new information on a regular basis. If used this way, I find that Twitter actually has a decent conversion rate. I also recommend a specific Twitter landing page on the website - this also really helps with conversions. Thanks for your question - wonder if anyone else following this conversation has a thought on this. Hi Trish,

Do you feel the follow through on tweets gets converting traffic, or is it to fast and to short lived of an environment to have any effect on traffic converting into a email or a conversion for a website? Just wondering because we have not seen a big effect with twitter and a good amount with facebook. Maybe its just our website <a href="http://www.generationrecycle.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.generationrecycle.org</a>. Thanks! I just had one question regarding the tweets.
