Hi Julianna,

FYI - I moved this question to a new thread so that others with the same question could find it easier.

To my knowledge there is no easy way to do this. It's a bit of a limitation of Facebook, due to the wall privacy setting that many people have in place.

There may be some plugins that display the profiles of people who have shared it. The one I personally use does not. Perhaps the official Facebook wordpress plugin? You could also monitor tracking for inbound clicks, but neither will be all that accurate.

But there may be solutions out there that I am not aware of.

Julianna,

Damn it!  I wish I wouldn't have read this because this is the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night (and drives my GF nuts).

I think the inherent problem is that even though you can track referral traffic by url, the url is likely to appear as someone's newsfeed url, rather than their timeline url.  That said, you wouldn't ever know who originally posted it, for it to show in their friends' newsfeeds.

I'm going to be thinking on this one for a while, but you'll be the first to know if I come up with anything, duct-taped or otherwise.
