Shareaholic Pros and Cons

Jay has gone above and beyond to help me fix some HTML issues, giving me guidance and specific codes to use. He was so helpful and quick to respond. I switched to Shareaholic because I loved that it could pull old social shares and combine them with new totals when I switched to https. This product was so easy to use and set up - even someone scared of HTML like me can do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I haven't found anything that I dislike with this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it makes it so easy for readers to share my blog posts and that I can customize what it says and how it looks. I also like that it has other features like related posts feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It stopped showing the number of Twitter shares, I am on the free plan so not sure if it's working for the paid version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No support, ignored when contacting them on Twitter. It's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A year ago, everything was fine. Support tickets were being answered, earnings were being added to accounts and being paid out. But since December it has all gone downhill -

Earnings have stopped being added to accounts, people have complained about not being paid out their earnings, and worst of all - There is no support whatsoever for free users, as all support tickets now go IGNORED. I sent a support ticket over a month ago and I'm still waiting! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* It was relatively easy to add the Shareaholic module to my Drupal 7 website. It does, however, take some added server configuration which my (shared) hosting company were happy to carry out.

* I like how it displays the social share buttons depending on which theme block you want to use it in.

* I also like the sliding share buttons I have implemented on the left of the page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* I really do not like the related content links to other websites.

* Most often they are completely irrelevant and somewhat bring the overall 'ambience' of the site down.

* I do not like seeing them on other sites either, they are distracting, of low quality (mostly) and unnecessary. I do however realise they are a revenue attracting tool but even that doesn't change my mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This plugin works well, lets your readers share your content with ease and it even suggests your visitors to read other articles you wrote in the past (related posts). I really like the share function as it looks nice and keeps them on my site when sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like the 3rd party links. They choose trashy links that don't fit my brand or are even remotely similar to my posts. I don't want to see shark attacks and weird photos under my DIY posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
