Do Your Social Metrics Such As Tweets Transfer With a 301?
-
Got asked this today, and I don't know the answer, so throwing it out there to all your mozzers!
If I 301 redirect a page that has built up a lot of tweets, likes, shares, even +1's, does that social data get transferred over to the new page in as far as social strength/ authority is concerned?
Would Google still be able to see the previous version of this page had x amount of tweets etc, and take this into consideration when ranking the new page?

Happy to help!

Awesome, thanks Jennifer.

Sadly the answer is no if you only do a 301. Mike King recently wrote a great post on Search Engine Watch though that walks you through how to make it happen: http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2172926/How-to-Maintain-Social-Shares-After-a-Site-Migration.
Hope that helps!

Im not 100% sure but I would assume no. For google +1 the user must +1 each individual page(s) so the metric is on the page level. with face book and twitter those are also directed at individual pages unless it is ur actual company page. my logic says no but i could be wrong. hope his helps

Is it possible to get high page ranking with no social media activity?
I'm curious to know how much social media effects the chances of being more highly ranked on Google. I appreciate it's important to 'be seen' by Google, but if articles/newsletters are being written, does it really matter if a business isn't using Twitter or Facebook, etc?

Tweet or ReTweet?
So which is better for SEO, Tweets or ReTweets? We have a tweet button on our blog which seems to work pretty good. But I have noticed a few sites that instead of tweeting, they have a ReTweet button where you are actually ReTweeting an original tweet. Any thoughts?
