Adding Tweetmeme to Pligg

The biggest social media site right now, is probably Twitter, and the best plugin for it has to be Tweetmeme.

So, let’s put the both of them to work for you.  Most Wordpress blogs, including this one, use the plugin Tweetmeme.  It simply allows people to Tweet your posts and it shows a count of how many times the post has been Tweeted.

Let’s put this to work on Pligg and hopefully add to your traffic and exposure.  It’s actually quite simple.

Open, link_summary.tpl, add where you want the button to appear:

{literal}
<script type="text/javascript"><!–mce:0–></script>
<script src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js" type="text/javascript"><!–mce:1–></script>
{/literal}

That’s it.

In the example above it will appear like this:

Tweetmeme for Pligg

Tweetmeme for Pligg

If you want the full size button, remove this line:

tweetmeme_style = ‘compact’;

which will give you this:

Tweetmeme and Pligg Fullsize

Tweetmeme and Pligg Fullsize

  • Personally I’m still a big fan of the Top Commentator Plugin. It might attract a tiny bit more spam, but I find the genuine commentators often compete to get to the top, thus giving me more comments ;)
  • I have actually do-followed the links from my site but restricted it only to my PR4 homepage. So the SEO value is significant and as I am now working to optimize the actual posts that I post, it does not really deduct from the SEO value of the overall site.
  • @antalya i think you can still follow this codes...
  • tweetmeme is realy good. But I dont how can I add it my asp sites?
  • Since no one includes Pligg in their one click install, you have to install it yourself, but it's not that hard to customize it.
  • I agree with you @karal
  • Very nice looking site doomic, your category navigation looks fantastic...
  • A great way for getting traffic...
