How to get power tweets & Likes for social signals!
-
Hi,
Just been looking into social signals a little deeper.
From what I have read a tweet from one page is not the same as a tweet from another page, the authority and influence is also a big part.
So a tweet from CNN does a lot more then a tweet from a random.
So how do you find these authority and influential pages/users?
I have come across Klout.com which gives a score out of 100, which is one way I guess BUT I have also noticed mozbar stats change for different facebook pages.
Q: Can you use the mozbar on facebook & twitter pages to workout who will generate the best social signals?
Cheers

Hi Jen,
Thanks for the reply.
That would be useful, social seems like a big area now for SEO and I think maybe even some SEOmoz input on the subject would be great.

Hi! Unfortunately to answer your last question, I don't think that using the Mozbar on specific pages will be overly helpful to determine those high authority accounts. While it will show you backlinks and overall page/domain authority it doesn't show you the number of followers, how often they tweet, how many retweets they get, etc.
Klout and similar services are an interesting way to finding influential/authoritative users, but it shouldn't be the only strategy. Each of the social sites has different ways to go about this and different tools exist. There are a number of great posts out there that about how to do this on the different platforms. Let me do some searches and I'll add them here!
Thanks,
Jen

Competitor Ranking in Positions 1 & 2
I have seen an increasing instance of where the same company, one of our main competitors, are ranking in positions 1 and 2 for the same search phrase. It appears that both the homepage and dedicated service page relevant to the search term are ranking, but surely having them at position 1 & 2 is not something search engines like Google want to encourage? I have also seen other instances of the same company ranking twice on page 1 but not necessarily in #1 or #2. Is this an anomaly or just something I have to live with?

Does collapsing content impact Google SEO signals?
Recently I have been promoting custom long form content development for major brand clients. For UX reasons we collapse the content so only 2-3 sentences of the first paragraph are visible. However there is a "read more" link that expands the entire content piece.

I have believed that the searchbots would have no problem crawling, indexing and applying a positive SEO signal for this content. However I'm starting to wonder. Is there any evidence that the Google search algorithm could possible discount or even ignore collapsed content?1 -

Get value out of buying another domain
How do you transfer value from another domain to your domain? Specific scenario: I'm a new startup selling coffee online. A large online coffee retailer just shut it's doors and asked us to bid on its remaining assets, including their domain. It currently receives 20,000 unique visitors organically. If I were to purchase their domain, how would I use this domain to make my site rank better in search engines and drive traffic to my site? Links? 301 redirects? Or would it not really make a significant difference?
