Using LinkedIn for Facebook likes?
-
Now I know that shortcuts are usually not a good sign for SEO. However if I am on a group on linked and there are Facebook like exchanges going on I am getting real people in the right market, right?
See picture for more details.
Is this valuable?

If you're marketing to marketers, then it is a bit of a different story in that they may actually be interested in your content. I guess it depends on how valuable you find your other interactions with the group. A lot of LinkedIn is about self-promotion, but I often question just who, if anyone, is listening, especially in groups.

Hey Erica,
This is a marketing related LinkedIn group. Anyone who liked me thru the thread might also like my posts because they are marketing related.
A while back we built a FB ad to gain followers and after earning 1000 likes we still had little to no interaction with our users. It was a promotional ad offering a discount for a link.
In my opinion it might be better to get everyone on LinkedIn in related groups to follow you. They are active and relevant.

I advocate to stay away from this kind of "like" swapping. The fans of your Facebook that you want are going to be those who are interested in your brand and your services/product/what you do. Are these people doing to give you that attention? Are they your audience? Or will they just hide your feed in their views?
Growing fans can be done through things like contests, great viral content, or Facebook ads. With all these things, you can target your audience and the people who will really help you and spread the word. And grow your Facebook Edgerank.

No it does not help : )
Your missing the point...
Im on a thread and if I place my facebook name on the thread everyone on the thread will like my company on facebook in return I must like them all back.
These likes are from relevant sources from within a LinkedIn group. Is this good or bad?

If people are actually clicking and moving to those landing pages via those urls then yes - please measure this seriously via GA - if you are not then you wont know.
Again have goals that what and where do these go after reaching those pages or what actions do they peform there on and then measure the goals or events.
Hope this helps

Does posting links in comments on Linkedin count as blackhat?
Hello, I noticed a competitor site has started writing a post on linkedin and then adding the link to the article they are referencing in the comments section. I started to dig into this and came up with this useful post https://growthrocks.com/blog/linkedin-abtest-link-in-comment/ to me that all screams black hat, spamming and scamming... What does the Moz Community think? Sincere thanks for feedback and I hope you're safe - wherever you are... Rhiannon

Facebook Contests
Hey Moz Community, I've been reading some articles that Facebook no longer likes if Business Pages run contests on their Pages. I was thinking about doing something super simple with a "Like, Comment, and Share" type of an entry. Does anyone know if this is still allowed - I can't seem to find a concrete answer. Even the guidelines for Facebook seem a bit vague. I could always take the contest offline and use a landing page on my website to generate traffic but that also doesn't help with my social following. Thoughts, insights all welcome. Thanks!

Facebook Ads Frequency Setting in Ad Set
Hello Guys, I have something which annoyes me already a long time with FB Ads. When you set up a campaign and an ad set and you have in your ad set 3 different ads (which makes totally sense to test them against each other) facebook is deciding really often way too early which ad might be the best ad. Often the algorithm starts to prefer one ad already after a few hundred impressions and the other ads are not getting any impressions any more. I cannot find an option like in Google Adwords that just all Ads are shown the same amount of times and that I can decide then on my own which ad I prefer to run. Unfortunately I cannot find anywhere an option to disable this 'auto-optimization' and I didn't find anyhting in the web as well. Would be pretty happy if someone can help me with this problem! Thanks!

Facebook Fan Page Title
I am creating a new fan page for my company. The page will definitely begin with my brand name. Is it a good idea to add keywords after the brand name (3-4 word short description of what the brand is) or is it better to keep the name just the brand? Thanks!

Facebook "Voting" App
I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a "voting" app on Facebook. We have some user-generated recipes that we want to post and allow our fans to vote for their favorite. Similar to this: http://www.facebook.com/New7WondersofNature#!/New7WondersofNature?sk=app_114026852036251 I've contacted Woobox but they only allow users to choose between 2 options and we would need 5. Any thoughts?Thanks!

I'm having a problem implementing facebook sharing
Hi. Hopefully someone can help me out here. I have created a quiz on one of my sites that hopefully will be good linkbait. But I'm having some issues with figuring out how to best get users to share this on facebook. The quiz consists of two pages. The first contains each of the questions. I use jquery to hide and show each question. Then, the second is the results page. The results page has a dynamically generated title and shows a sharable badge depicting their results. So, for one user the results page may say, "I scored 100% on ABC Quiz!" and show a 100% badge. Another user may see, "Apparently I know nothing about ABC! I scored 16% on the quiz!". (Just examples, of course.) If I use the facebook share button, the url that gets shared is the results page and obviously I don't want knew users ending up on the results page. I tried using a rel canonical on the results page (pointing to the original page) but then the dynamic title doesn't get shared. Can anyone help?
