 * Hi
 * Your screenshots section shows that it can also count views in addition to shares.
 * How is this turned on, does it use js and how does it work with caching plugins?

 * And if it does count views, does it record it into DB and can that info be used
   then on homepage and category pages to show the read counts?

 * Hello recons,
 * This is part of the page impressions addon. Its using ajax and is running on 
   cached websites. The data count is stored in the database.

 * Yes, the info can be used on other pages as well with a little php code which
   needs to be put in place on homepage and the archive.php or category.php

 * Thank you!
 * Am planning to buy your plugin and give it a try. Where can I get that php code,
   by the way?
 * Two things:
 * 1. Did not get promised 20% in the admin profile when subscribing (nothing in
   the email)
 * 2. I chose to enable top and bottom option, but the downside was that google 
   picks its text up into excerpt showing in search results and makes it quite ugly,
   instead of taking first paragraph of the text, it has “10. SHARES. ShareTweet.“,
   for example.

 * 1. Please read here for how to doing it: [http://docs.mashshare.net/article/106-get-page-views-number-in-a-theme-template](http://docs.mashshare.net/article/106-get-page-views-number-in-a-theme-template)
 * 2. You should use a plugin like yoast and specify the meta description of your
   site. That’s the text which is shown in the snippet of the google results.

 * 2. I am using yoast plugin. And, snippet is showing fine in yoast, but as soon
   as I turn on your plugin, google sees your text before yoast snippet and cuts
   that snippet short.
 * 3. I tried to most shared widget… Text sticks/glues to thumbnail, text is in 
   bold with no option to make it regular size.
 * No option to put some kind of thin border around it. Also would be nice to have
   results based on 3 days as well (you have 7 minimum). can you advice how to change
   all these?

 * I would appreciate response to the above.
 * Also, I had to completely disable the images on the most shared for the following
   reason:
 * – I left the 80px setting there, thinking that it is using a lightweight thumbnail,
   instead, it turned out, 10 images added 0.5M+ weight to my pages and google pagespeed
   score dropped from 75-95 range to 50-60 range. My site already generates optimized
   small 80×60 thumbnails for every image, how do I get it to use that?

 * How did you detect this? This is working fine on all our sites.
    Google is using
   the meta description for the snippet if it’s defined with yoast or any other 
   seo tool. If there are no meta descriptions used on your site its possible that
   google is using part of the share buttons in their snippets when they are activated
   on top of your posts – yes.

 * This is a css issue with your theme and needs to be adjusted there as well
 * > No option to put some kind of thin border around it.
 * Someone who knows CSS can handle this easily on your site as well

 * Not planned at the moment

 * — I detected it by doing google search on the title of the post and viewing it
   on google search result page.
 * Regarding 3., yes, that optimization and google score is very important so for
   now I am using the widget without any images.

 * Please let me know a page url if your site and a google search term for this 
   page so that i can verify this.

 * You cannot verify it, because I had to remove the option to show on top of the
   post and it shows on the bottom only now 🙁
