Adds an attractive social bookmarking menu and related content widget to your posts, pages, index, or any combination of the three.

== Description ==

Shareaholic has proven time and time again to be an extremely useful and successful tool in getting your readers to actually **discover** and **submit your articles** to numerous social bookmarking sites.

Our sole aim was to stray away from the "in the box" thinking behind most social bookmarking plugins, and add a little flair that would entice your readers, rather than deterring them with microscopic icons that get lost in pages heavy laden with content.

= Recent Updates =

* Recommendations & Related Content - Increase reader engagement and pageviews by highlighting related content from across your site
* Social Analytics - Actionable and easy to understand
* Classic Bookmarks - Classic Bookmarks offer a clean-cut and professional look for your blog
* Full support for Facebook Like Button, Facebook Send, Google Plus, Pinterest
* Share Counters for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc
* Official support for Google's URL shortener (goo.gl) and Google Analytics
* Utilizes the [Share API](https://shareaholic.com/api/)
* Localized in 15+ languages

= Recommendations / Related Content =

Increase pageviews and engagement by highlighting relevant content from across your site to your readers who would not otherwise encounter them. Shareaholic is not just yet another related posts content plugin. It involves a simple installation that's easy to update and tweak. You'll be using well-engineered and optimized code that won't slow or block your pages from loading. You can choose between several themes to match your site's design and customize every pixel if you'd like. Optimized for mobile devices like the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Android mobile phones, and more!

= Social Analytics =

Shareaholic reports all of your important actionable social media metrics including popular pages on your website, referral channels, and who are making referrals and spreading your webpages on the internet on your behalf bringing you back more traffic and new visitors.

= Fast & Secure =

We use industry best practices to make our code as fast and unobtrusive as possible, meaning - for example - that the performance impact is comparable to adding Google Analytics to your site. Because all of the processing and collection runs on our servers and not yours, it doesn't cause any additional load on your hosting account. In addition, our JavaScript is hosted on Amazon's CDN to make fetching it as blazing fast and reliable as possible. In fact, it's one of the fastest proven analytics system, hosted or not hosted, that you can use.

Shareaholic is used and trusted by hundreds of thousands of websites like yours and touches almost 300 million people each month. Designed and built with all the love in the world in Boston, Massachusetts.

Note: The analytics portion of Shareaholic may use trusted 3rd party services like Google Analytics and AppNexus to enhance its data.
