    A couple of minutes ago, Kevin Tweeted our "high-earning AdSense position" thread. I re-tweeted it about 30 seconds later.

    30 more seconds later and we have quite a few visitors reading that thread. All within a minute of the first Tweet:

    Either clicking the little Twitter button below each individual post or using the "AddThis" button on the toolbar above the first post. :)

    Oh I see what your saying. I thought you meant like you didnt something cool with twitter, you just clicked a button. Nice man. Did you manually add that twitter button? And if so can you hook a brother up with the code :D

    Which one? The ones below the posts are a feature of vBSEO. The AddThis button can be acquired here: AddThis - Get Your Button

    The code to manually add twitter. Yeah I figured you just added it into the vbseo. But where did you get the code to do it?

    Ahh, I see what you're asking. :)

    Here's the code to add the Twitter button in vBSEO:
    Code:
    http://twitter.com/home?status=%title% %20 %url%,images/vbseo/twitter.png,Twitter,Twitter
    And of course, feel free to download and use the Twitter icon that we have here. :)

    Just thought I would let you know that the code you posted doesnt work once you make a tweet. It goes to the thread and then does a wierd redirect to nowhere

    Hmm... that sounds odd. You mean you're redirected to nowhere when you click the link on Twitter?

    When you click the link on twitter. It sends you to the post, but after a second it redirects to showthread and nothing is there..

    It doesn't do that for me. Which tweet are you clicking? Can you link to the specific status entry (click the time, i.e. "about two hours ago")?

    That certainly is odd. The only thing I can suggest is consulting the vBSEO support forum as it works fine for me.

    Also, how did you get it to convert to a bit.ly URL on-the-fly?

    I fixed it. If you are using

    Replace post number link with Permalink
    Will replace individual showpost links with the "Permalink" link. Note: Posts will no longer be accessible individually.

    You cant link to a post...DUH LOL
