AddThis is a popular widget for almost all platforms to share the content on multiple social networks easily. Many people are using this widget to their website so people can share their posts / contents to their social network profiles like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ etc. Not only can this but you can also track your posts that how many posts are being shared by users and how many posts are shared on which platform.

They are tracking URL’s so they are adding tracking code to each URL. The tracking code is just 11 letters code placed at the end of the URL. Just like an example given below

http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourpost.html#.PFsM3iO9Dm2

Many users just don’t want this extra tracking code in URL and many bloggers think that this code is raised from a template error but actually it isn’t. Here is how you can remove this tracking code from all of your URL’s. Follow these instructions.

Steps to Remove Tracking Code:

Step 1: Login to your Blogger account and go to Dashboard.

Step 2: Go to Template > Edit HTML.

Step 3: Find the code smilier to code given below.

<div class='addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style '>
<a class='addthis_button_facebook_share' fb:share:layout='button_count'/>
<a class='addthis_button_tweet'/>
<a class='addthis_button_facebook_like' fb:like:layout='button_count'/>
<a class='addthis_button_google_plusone' g:plusone:size='medium'/>
<a class='addthis_button_pinterest_pinit'/>
</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};</script>
<script src='//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-4957XXXXXXXX' type='text/javascript'/>

Step 4: Replace the highlighted code to the code given below.

<script type='text/javascript'>var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":false};</script>

You all have done! No tracking code will be added to your website's URL from now.
