Analytics and monetization
Content Analytics reports popular pages, referral channels, and top referrers. View metrics by content, author, or custom tags to examine how users find stories, products, authors, and sections. Shareaholic integrates with Google Analytics and supports UTM tracking. The analytics portion may use third-party services, including Google Analytics and AppNexus, to enhance its data.
Monetization settings include affiliate links, outstream video ads, and promoted native content.

Shareaholic's core features are free. Paid services include Share Count Recovery for preserving share counts when URLs change, site taxonomy is adjusted, or a site switches to HTTPS.
