What is a good amount of social shares per week / day?

As the title says.  What is your idea of a good amount of social shares to be given per day or week or month for a website?

Are you talking about sharing on your facebook wall? I would say 20% pimping your product and 80% relevant info.

If you are talking about getting Facebook URL likes, get as many as you can. There is no amount that's too little.

I don't really do much on my FaceBook business page.  Yes social shares.  Like when someone goes through the "addthis" widget on your site and shares your website / webpage.  I'm sure no amount is too little!

Try to put the FB Like button on your conversion page and tell people to click the like button so the Like goes to the home page. Addthis will not work for this so you will need to make a button here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

Thanks Francisco.  I have tried that but have unfortunately had to give up because my WYSIWYG website making program, for whatever reason, can't accommodate, so have decided to forfeit (it seems to have problems with the widgets that are graphically like PNG files).  It can manage widgets that are contained within a box so I'm limited to the little addthis horizontal bar.  My site and pages from it gets 5 to 7 social shares a day on places like FB, G+ and Pinterest, is this good?

Sounds like you're going to need to get a new software for your website. There is no minimum or maximum amount for Facebook likes. This is all going to depend upon your competition which we don't know. Use open site Explorer to see what the competition has. It may take a long time to rack up shares.

In my experience, a baseline number of shares is completely reliant on the content being shared. The type of content is also indicative of the network it will be shared on. For example: We get more shares from Linkedin when we produce "professional" content. We get more Facebook shares when we share time wasting content.

Sorry I could not be more specific. I would be happy to help if you are more specific about your brand/ target market.
