Infographic/Link Bait idea. Unrelated to my site though, suggestions?
-
Question, been thinking of some link bait infographic ideas for my site www.jobshadow.com
I've got a couple in the careers/job niche but the one I think would be best is completely unrelated.
I study free market economics a lot and want to debunk the whole 'deflation' debate that is on the news these days.
The overall gist would be to do so with a history of Apple products showing why falling prices aren't anything to be afraid of.
Given that it's econ/techie related(even non econ people would find this graphic neat I think) and not specific to the 'career hunting' and job searching my site is I'm curious what people suggest.
Give it a shot and release on our blog anyway? Or trade it to someone else in a more relative niche(assuming the graphic gets built, I know ideas are relatively cheap:).

Hey, great thoughts. Much appreciated!
I could do a survey around job satisfaction pretty easy. Have tons of data there. Was looking into that.
What did you mean by the 'ego bait angle' and top 10 lists? Sounds interesting.
Also, could you elaborate on the inspring people with online presence/profiles. Those seem pretty intriguing/possible.
Thanks!

Or talk about the economic impact of deflation and its effect on the job market...

Hi astahl11,
If you're looking to promote infographics on your blog I would personally be aiming for related topics, whilst the 'deflation' debate around tech products sounds interesting I think you may struggle to get any traction with an unrelated site behind it as such.
Have you explored all the various areas your site could offer in terms of infographic topics?
-
As your site is about mentoring and shadowing a career path, perhaps something along the lines of inspiring people with online presence/profiles. To test the water you could try some top 10 style lists, with more of an ego bait angle perhaps?
-
Stats surrounding apprenticeships and getting young people started in new careers?
-
A survey surrounding job satisfaction? And linking that to stats about changing your career path - how many people have tried it, how many have succeeded, what route did they follow, etc?
Hope that helps in some way.
Thanks, Greg -

By all means produce it and have it on your site. Not only will it bring the possibility of traffic and links, but you are also expanding your brand presence online.
Be sure to include the embed code so that others can link use your image, and it will link to your site.
Good luck!

Facebook.com / referral - What is it?
Hi Moz community! Coming to you today to ask a two fold question about a mysterious source/medium combination and also social medium data in general. First question relates to the attached image named 'Facebook Referral.' We've made sure to apply correct tags to all of our campaigns, both organic and paid, and are having a difficult time figuring out where this source/medium comes from which is a bit troubling as it actually has pulled in some revenue over the past couple of months The second question is around general Facebook data. Our Facebook business manager is vastly over reporting clicks to landing pages. For instance, we saw about 1,700 clicks to site as reported by Facebook business manager, whereas Google Analytics only registered about 950. I know data between the two channels rarely lines up perfectly, but this seems like a rather wide variance. Can someone help me to understand this, and let me know if there is anyway to reduce the occurrence of one or both of the issues we're facing. Thanks! referral.PNG

Leverage other peoples author rank for your site?
Hi quick question, lets say you find writers in your niche and get them to do a guest post for your site and they have also built up alot of author rank (active google+ account, tones of social media followers). From my understanding you cannot leverage their author rank for your site since their google+ profile needs to be connected to your site? Unless it connected, you will not get any author rank benefit? Cheers, Mark

Google Auth and brands/individuals problem
So you can auth pages with personal google+ profiles - and its being suggested by some that this could now help rankings if that person has lots of people in their circles. So what about brand/companies content? why cant they auth the content with their Google+ profile to get the content ranking better. It doesn't seem right an individual blogger can do this but a company cannot who has written lots of guides. An example is a holiday company has written some awesome content on resorts around the World - how to use the auth for that content to rank higher? - currently only possible to link up an individual as writing the content not the brand/company itself. Any suggestions on this much appreciated. I do not want to lose any gain there might be from this new bonus given from Google.

Is it ok to have 'Authors' that write content for multiple sites even if in the same industry?
Hi all, I have a client that has 2 websites (different brands) in the same industry. I have encouraged them to become authors when writing content for each respective website and hook up their Google+ profile to the posts. Is this detrimental for SEO if they are writing for both sites? Or is it in fact a positive thing? Looking forward to your thoughts on this!! Thanks, Elias

Linking Facebook - Twitter - Website - G+ Profiles
During a spectacular presentation at Seattle Interactive Conference, Rand discussed how Google is able to see linkage between different social networks and a Google profile. Outside of setting up your Twitter feed to send loads of messages to your Facebook fans (or vice versa), is there a best way to communicate the "linkage" between your social media profiles to the search engines? Eg - How do you best signal to Google that your Twitter, Facebook, G+ and your website are from the same entity?

Is there a way on OSE or any other site to find the 50 most socially shared URLs on a given domain?
I'd love to see which URLs on a specific domain get socially shared the most. I know I can use OSE to say figure out exactly how much social sharing has happened on let's say this URL:
Social Media | | Almonds
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama But what if I want to figure out the top 50 most shared URLs across all of wikipedia.org. Is that possible on OSE or anywhere else? If not, do you have some ideas on how something similar could be achieved?0 -
