I want to add to what Braiam has said. Stack Exchange has the following badges as reward for sharing a link with your networks: 

 1. [Announcer][] (Bronze):  
   *Shared a link to a question that was visited by 25 unique IP addresses.*
 2. [Booster][] (Silver):  
   *Shared a link to a question that was visited by 300 unique IP addresses.*
 3. [Publicist][] (Gold):  
   *Shared a link to a question that was visited by 1000 unique IP addresses.*

If you are after more information those badges are specified on the [badges](https://askubuntu.com/help/badges) section.
