Drive traffic, build quality followers and improve your website ranking

Social Locker is the most popular content-locking plugin for WordPress in the world with attention-grabbing styles and advanced analytics.

The Social Locker locks your most valuable site content behind a set of social buttons until the visitor likes, shares, +1s or tweets your page. It helps to improve social performance of your website, get more likes/shares, build quality followers and attract more traffic from social networks.

Do you still place social buttons on every page of your website? But visitors don’t like/share your content as often as you would like?

You should give people a reason why they need to click your social buttons. Even if people like your content, site or fanpage, they don’t click the buttons because they don’t worry about you, your benefits or your traffic. It’s not their problem.

But ask people to “pay” with a Like/Tweet/+1 to get access to your content, to get a discount, to download, to read an ending of your article, to watch a video or to view a funny picture. And it will start to work as it should be!

With Social Locker, you can lock anything in your content and automatically unlock it after a visitor has shared your page. All you need to do is select the part of your content you want to lock, click a button and you’re done!

It’s nicely designed and doesn’t look at all obtrusive on your site. If you want to incentivize
your site’s visitors to share your content then this is a fantastic solution.

One highly awesome feature of this plugin is the ability to see how effective (or ineffective)
it is on your site. The reports are really detailed and can help you identify what content
is being shared as well as on which social networks.
