How To Add A Click To Tweet Link To Your Blog Or Website

Wish to add a 'click to tweet' link for each one in a list of facts or something similar?
It's actually pretty simple.

Step 1:
Head over to http://www.linktotweet.com/. Write the tweet that you want to be displayed.
Note: If you are going to include a link in your tweet, you should first go to https://bitly.com/ and shorten the URL. Then copy and use the shortened URL in your text.
Once you're done crafting your tweet, click on Generate Link Button.

Step 2:
The needed link URL will be generated right below as shown.
Copy this URL and then use it wherever you wish to.

For instance, if I wish to add this 'click to tweet' link in my blog, I generally write the text TweetThis beside the sentence to be tweeted and link it to the URL generated as above, as I have done in this postInteresting Facts About Microsoft That You Probably Didn't Know.

You could also try clicktotweet.com and clicktoshare.me  for the same purpose. However, my personal choice is linktotweet.com because it doesn't require login and is the simplest to use.

There is a also a feature to see the link-clicks statistics on your tweet entries without registering.

Courtesy to Zoran for mentioning this in the comments via blog.agile-code.com.

Just use your CODE, and combine it with http://www.linktotweet.com/s/CODE.

So, in our sample case here, if we visit: http://www.linktotweet.com/s/S4IOUIKN we can see the stats around visits and view other things.

However, if you register, you have the possibility to manage your tweet text and see more statistics not available for non-registered users.

  1. Hi Shruti,
    Great post!

    As you haven't mentioned the statistics feature I would like to add that there is possibility to see the link-clicks statistics on your tweet entries.

    You always use your CODE, and combine it with http://www.linktotweet.com/s/CODE

    So, in your case, if you visit: http://www.linktotweet.com/s/S4IOUIKN
    you will see the stats around visits and view other things.

    If you register, you have a possibility to manage your tweet text and see many more useful statistics not available for not registered users.

    Cheers,
    Zoran
