This assumes you are sharing the current page.

What do you do in the scenario when when you are sharing an external page (or other page)? ..

e.g. addthis code on SiteA/PageA actually shares page on SiteB/PageB – this is a common issue

This is an excellent resource. I use Facebook as part of my advertising efforts and as of now, the share link has not been fully utilized. The ‘no follow’ tag is a big help, too. Thanks!

Tahnk’s Rob… I think that AddThis is one of the best plugin for WordPress…

Thank you Rob. With your help I now understand the right syntax:

[a rel=”nofollow” class=”addthis_button_facebook”]Facebook[/a]
[a rel=”nofollow” class=”addthis_button_myspace”]MySpace[/a]

you cannot type html tags directly. If you need to show examples, you can use brackets “[ ]” instead of html tags “<>“.

Thank you SO much Rob, but the way the forum renders my code as I type it in, is not the way it appears on the screen or the way you are seeing it. I will try here again, and see if I can get around the problem:

LINE BEGIN Facebook
LINE BEGIN MySpace

The post from Rob Mangiafico above works for the AddThis standard button, but does anyone know how I can add a “No Follow” tag to a “customised” series of buttons. Is it like this?

BEFORE
Facebook
MySpace

AFTER
Facebook rel=”nofollow”
MySpace rel=”nofollow”

I know this is right after an explicit url reference, but not sure here?

Many thanks,
Ray

Not sure I understand your question. The addthis service allows you to put a link on your site so users can easily share your webpage with others. With Facebook, you can define what gets passed in the share link. You do not link directly to your FB page.
