I really like the way in which it discreetly pops up on the side. Many of these Facebook social plugins are now available as widgets as part of the official <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook WordPress Plugin.<\/a>\u00a0A good option is it allows users to turn on social reading and get more engaged with your site, as well as &#8216;like&#8217; \u00a0it directly from the bar.<\/p>\n<p>It is similar to several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2010\/08\/how-to-add-footer-animated-flyout-like-nytimes\/\">slider plug-ins<\/a> which are becoming popular, as they have the surprise motion element which attracts the user&#8217;s eye and has a higher chance of being clicked. We had earlier tried the animation fly out style plugin similar to that seen on the New York Times and it definitely helped to increase page views.<\/p>\n<p>The Facebook recommendation bar is live on our site right now, and you can test it out and use it on your own site if you like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to increase site page views, install Facebook recommendation bar to your site code and you get a&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,111],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging","category-social-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26838\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
