I know a little box appears saying "Share this link! [link]", but share it where? How?
1 Answer
Share it in a social manner, eg. Facebook, Twitter, Friends, Blog, Digg, IM, ...
By doing that you are publishing the question to a public outside the StackExchange community.
As for how, just copy the link and paste it. Perhaps give it some explanation so it's more than a link...
Announcer: Shared a link to a question that was visited by 25 unique IP addresses in 3 days.
Booster: Shared a link to a question that was visited by 300 unique IP addresses in 4 days.
Publicist: Shared a link to a question that was visited by 1000 unique IP addresses in 5 days.

- The link contains an identifier which can be used to identify you and thus reward you when enough visits have been made to your link.Tamara Wijsman– Tamara Wijsman2010-10-30 01:06:10 +00:00Commented Oct 30, 2010 at 1:06

- I thought that meant the question was visited by that many before you shared the link, but your answer makes more sense. :)John– John2010-10-30 18:34:47 +00:00Commented Oct 30, 2010 at 18:34
