UPDATING YOUR 'STATUS'--Find out who's checking out your Social Media updates and links!

Real Estate Agent with Exit Realty--I'd love to service your Chicagoland referrals IDFPR # 471.016048

Here's another little trick for everyone...again nothing fancy or complicated and best of all, FREE. 

Many of us are on twitter, facebook, linkedIN, and seeing lead generation results.  I have been using ping.fm, a free service, to syndicate all my status and post to them all at once.  You can "ping" from your cell phone (via text) or of course on your computer.

As I have been posting links to my ActiveRain blog posts in my status updates, ping.fm will shorten them into a very small web address leaving me more space to type in the 140 character confines of Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIN. 

Now ping.fm is allowing you to track the stats for these shortened links...meaning you can see on/from which sites people are checking out your posts.  This is great to explore which posts are actually getting read, and from where. 

Just start using ping.fm, and after posting links hit "recent posts" and then click on the specific link you've posted to open the analytics window.  GREAT STUFF GUYS!

One of my colleagues told me about ping.fm months ago and I never had time to check into it.  This is a cool feature!

Thanks for the info.  I will be sure to check it out today!  BTW, I see you have the same problem that I do with your get widget - you are being held hostage to upgrade or else they will advertise right over your widget.

@ Weichert--yeah, it kind of defeats the purpose and I may end up deleting it!  I was going to blog about how great the widget was till that started happening--yuck!

Nick,

I woke up this morning with the idea of pining my website to make sure it was on line and ran into this.  I love ActiveRain!

Thanks for the info
