If anyone with a WordPress site is not getting as much Facebook "Likes" or "Tweets" as expected, here is a great way of increasing them. Sometimes it is not enough to include social buttons, visitors may just do not bother in clicking them. Now with Social Locker for WordPress it is a different story. We will give people a reason for clicking in social buttons; we will give them something in return. Or should we say, they will not have what they want unless we have their clicks.

The Social Locker for WordPress will lock or hide part of our content until readers do click in one of our social buttons. They may start reading, but when they reach a certain point the access will be restricted for those who "Like", "Tweet" or give "+1" to the post. It is an excellent way of asking for something in return to what we give. With this plugin we will be increasing our traffic and promoting our site through the social networks.

It is possible to set an own URL for each social button or the same URL for all of them. The Social Locker for WordPress also comes with built-in analytics tools to give us information about our visits and visitors, to see which channels bring more traffic. It is possible to customize it, HTML markup is provided to create our own styles for the locker. We can set colors, fonts, sizes, backgrounds, shadows, icons, etc. We also have some preset styles and effects to choose.

The Social Locker for WordPress licence has a cost of $21. The plugin was created in December 2012 and has many updates available in the market. It is compatible with the browsers Internet Explorer 7-8-9, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome. It runs with WordPress versions 3.2 to 3.5.
