Earlier today we wrote about the TweetMeme ReTweet Plugin For WordPress. After this post we alerted by one of our readers of the BackType ReTweet plugin for WordPress – after which we promptly switched to.

Why? There are several reasons we switched to BackType’s TweetCount plugin.

1. Uses bit.ly API for click tracking (TweetMeme uses bit.ly but not the API)
2. It uses custom Google Analytics tracking parameters so you can measure click-thrus from Google Analytics
3. The button is customizable – notice how it matches our site now? Yay!

What do you think? Do you have any questions on how to integrate Twitter with WordPress?

Behind organic traffic, FriendFeed and StumbleUpon – one of the biggest traffic generators to this website is Twitter. In order to optimize this I’ve added the ReTweet button and so far it’s worked beyond what I had expected.
