Perhaps one of the reasons Farmville has become so successful is because it does a lot of stream spam on your Facebook wall, thereby giving Zynga free advertising. In most cases, I do not like to participate in the spam and do not allow Farmville to publish updates to my farm on my Facebook feed. However there are certain times when this can be beneficial to your farming buddies. Whenever you get a new ribbon or special achievement, a Farmville notice will appear asking you to “share the wealth.” If you see this button, click on it to post the message to your Facebook wall. This will allow your friends to benefit from your success.
You as well can benefit from your friends ribbons and successes. Just click on the [Get a bonus] link and you can get coins for doing almost nothing. I’ve earned as much as 250 coins from clicking on one of those links. Note that you’ll have to click this link within a certain time period in order to get the bonus. My best guess is that its something like 12 hours.

Hi!
The Blue ribbon gives everyone 500 coins! It gives you 10 000 coins!
Not bad:)
Am I the only one who does not get coins? When I click on a ’share the wealth’ posting and say ‘accept’ my coins do not move. I never get the bonuses. Do you know how to fix this?
Hi Stacey,
YOU don’t get the coins when you share the wealth. Your friends do. That’s why its called ’share’ the wealth! Hope that helps.
