Matt, I've been using data-counturl from the start and still seeing 0 counts.
Here is the source for the button on http://blog.snowballfactory.com/2010/08/15/tweet-button-with-shortening-for-wordpress/ which is showing 0 tweets: <a href="http://twitter.com/share"; class="twitter-share-button" data- url="http://awe.sm/59O75"; data-counturl="http:// blog.snowballfactory.com/2010/08/15/tweet-button-with-shortening-for- wordpress/" data-text="Tweet Button with Shortening for WordPress" data-count="vertical" data-via="snowballfactory" data- related="jhstrauss:Author of the post">Tweet</a><script type="text/ javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";></script> As you can see, BackType is indexing the tweets correctly: http://www.backtype.com/page/blog.snowballfactory.com%2F2010%2F08%2F15%2Ftweet-button-with-shortening-for-wordpress%2F/conversations Yet Twitter search doesn't appear to be: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.snowballfactory.com%2F2010%2F08%2F15%2Ftweet-button-with-shortening-for-wordpress%2F >From what I can see, the issue appears to be related to what short URLs Twitter is choosing to index for the count.
