    You use facebook in your title but not your description. There are conceptual differences between sharing and liking a website, recommending a website, between liking a website and a facebook page, and affiliate schemes. You probably need to define more exactly what you need to achive in order to get a useful answer.

    There's several facebook recommendation & sharing plugins for wordpress, and there are other wordpress plugins that can handle affiliate links & sharing of your site to other users in a non-facebook way.

    I'm not aware of one that combines all of the above, as you describe it could violate Facebook's page rules that likes cannot be used as a voting mechanism.

    Take a look at the article on the new Facebook for Wordpress plugin anyway as it might be of use to you.

    There were 443 "Facebook" plugins for WordPress last time I checked. My biz partner did a blog post/video review of a few of them here just this week.

    If you're looking for something with more specialised requirements you might need to have it custom coded - before doing that you'll need to describe exactly what you need very specifically.

    Nice, I must try out the Socialbar/Facebook Like Button, hadn't come across that one before

    I'd recommend trying out the new WordPress developed plugin I linked to previously as it seems really neat - you'd probably get a decent review post/video out of it.

    Already work in progress - keep an eye on the blog linked above if you're interested :)

    thanks for the response trojan. i want a plugin whereby if someone shared my site to say, 10 people, i could reward them with a discount code to get 20% off a t-shirt

    is there a plugin that could do that?

    thanks

    If you are using woo-commerce plug in for Wordpress check out the Facebook tab shop integration plug in from woo commerce and the viral coupon code plug in on themeforest.
