How to Move the "Share" Button on Facebook to the Top of Page
Facebook created the “Share” button for web developers and bloggers to put on their sites. This lets readers share the content on their Facebook profiles, letting your site spread via word-of-mouth and exposing it to a wider audience. A “Share” button works best when placed prominently, like at the top of your page. If you have a “Share” button elsewhere on your page, moving it to the top is simple.

Tips & Warnings
If you do not yet have a “Share” button on your site, get the code for a “Like” button at Facebook. Existing “Share” button code still works fine, but Facebook no longer offers new "Share" codes, as it encourages site owners to transition to the newer “Like” format.
