## Description

This WordPress plugin was originally developed so that I could track how many social
shares my content was getting. I didn’t just want to know the stats for the content
I published on my own website, but also the numerous articles that I’d written in
other online publications. The result was my Social Footprint plugin.

After using the plugin for over a year I decided that it was too useful to keep 
to myself. That said, I didn’t want to charge people to use it so I’ve offered this
out for free, forever.

Uploading your content into the plugin couldn’t be easier. Simply click on the ‘
Import WordPress Posts’ button and the plugin will pull through all the posts on
your site and then gather social share stats for them. You can then arrange the 
columns in ascending/descending order to quickly see your top and worst performing
content.

When it comes to sourcing the right stats for you, I’ve set the plugin up so that
you can choose which social networks you will get stats for. Stats for Facebook,
Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, StumbleUpon and Reddit are all currently 
supported by the plugin.

As I mentioned, it’s not just your WordPress content that you can analyse. There’s
a built-in feature that allows you to add in URLs from any website and gather instant
stats on their social media performance. There’s even a bulk upload option where
you can import a list of URLs from a Windows .csv file.

## Installation

Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory
of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page.

## FAQ

  Will I ever have to pay for the data within Social Footprint?

No. Never.

  Can I download all of the data into a spreadsheet?

Not right now but it’s a feature I’m looking at adding.

  What about Twitter data?

Like the majority of tools that used to offer Twitter share count data, it’s not
available anymore. This is because Twitter shut down their count API on November
20th 2015 (source: https://blog.twitter.com/2015/hard-decisions-for-a-sustainable-
platform).
