when it comes to referral traffic from social networks we have to keep services like AddThis, AddToAny or ShareThis in mind. these services provide some easy-to-use widgets for websites to share and spread the content on the internet. according to a recent emarketer blogpost, facebook dominates the sharing-targets nowadays. these numbers originally come from a social optimizations platform Gigya:
Almost one-half of article links, videos, photos and other content shared via Gigya’s widgets are posted to Facebook, with another 29% broadcast through tweets.

it definitely would be of great interest, to have such numbers for other social sharing services, too and bring them together.
