Are there plans for Moz to track social activity for LinkedIN Company Pages any time soon?
-
Currently only Facebook and Twitter can be tracked. My business focuses on B2B and I focus heavily on LinkedIN and would like to track activity from LinkedIN. Any plans?

Hi Dave,
Unfortunately we don't have any plans to integrate with/track LinkedIn data due to how difficult it is to integrate with Moz. I'll pass this along as feedback to our Product team though so we can continue tracking this request. You mentioned on tool that can help monitor your linked in data but another option to look into is Raventools as well. They should hopefully be able to help out here.

Please keep us updated. For B2B companies tracking LinkedIN traffic is extremely valuable. FYI Hubspot is able to track this data.

Hi JP,
Our Product team is looking into this, but as of right now, there is no ETA on including LinkedIn because their T&C's don't allow us to store anything we collect which effects reporting in Moz Analytics. We do plan on revisiting this conversation sometime in the next quarter though. Sorry I don't have better news
Best,

Hi!
The beta for Analytics has actually been live for a while. I can't tell you exactly when you'll be rolled into it, but it shouldn't be too much longer now. Sorry I can't provide any more concrete details!

Hi Sam,
Any idea when the beta will go live?

Thanks for the question!
As of right now, the next social network we plan on incorporating into the Social Dashboard is Google Plus. This has already been added to the Dashboard for Moz Analytics so you'll be able to access this when you transition over to the beta. We do plan on adding other social networks as we go, but I'm not exactly sure which will be added next.
My recommendation would be to submit this in our Feature Request forum for our Product team. They review this on a daily basis and use it to plan our roadmap. They may also be able to shed some light as to whether or not this is being added in the near term or if it's a little farther out on the roadmap.
Hope this helps and hope you have a great day!
Best,
Sam

Google Plus page - keep or delete?
Do you guys think that if we are not going to be able to maintain a Google Plus page, from a SEO standpoint is it better to keep or delete the page? Also, do you guys think there's still SEO value to having a Google Plus page in general? Is it worth it? Thanks! MS

Will posting an article from my website to LinkedIn mean its duplicate content?
Hi everyone, I'm currently writing my first blog post for my new business, and initially it was intended to be written for my website and then have it shared as a link via Social Media. However, I notice now that LinkedIn allow you to post self written articles to it's website directly and that these are then linked to your profile. My question is if I write my blog post as intended, and then publish it separately to LinkedIn, will search engines see this and think I am duplicating content? If so, roughly how much of the content would I have to change in order to avoid this? Thanks!

"Apply with LinkedIn" button
My client is a recruitment company and they've recently added "Apply with LinkedIn" buttons on their site for candidates. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the effects of adding this to SEO? I suspect it will have little impact, but thought I should research anyway. After a lot of searching, I can't find much on this topic with specific reference to this button. I've read LinkedIn are phasing this out too. Can anyone offer any insight into adding this button? Thank you in advance. Paul.

What is the value of having a social media feed displayed on your website?
This is something I asked myself this evening. You see a lot of sites with a Facebook or Twitter feed displayed, but I struggle to understand their value. OK, it shows that you are active on this or that social media channel, but unless you are posting great content consistently on the social media displayed, the impact of your feed could detract from the web page it is displayed on. It could also cause a visitor to that page on your site to click away from your site into the noise and distraction of that social media channel. I don't have an issue with using social media icons to link to your channels, but they are more discreet and the sort of thing people will look for if they are interested enough in your web pages to want to connect with you. Also, social sharing icons are good, but I do not see the value in social media feeds. Do you agree or disagree? I am more than will to be persuaded otherwise. Thanks in advance,

Do bitly and owly shares on social media help out my site for SEO?
Hi Mozzers, Do shortened URLs, such as bitly and owly help out my website in terms of SEO? I know they will help in terms of referral traffic from people clicking on the URLs, but how about increasing DA, PA, etc.? Thanks!

Social media strategy
Hey everyone, I know is this is a bit of an old strategy, but what do you think about building social profiles (blogger, tumbler, wordpress, etc) with a keyword in the url for link building and SEO? Outdated strategy? Unnatural? Has it worked for you recently? Comments? Questions? Suggestions?

How to track the performance of my guest blog posts?
I am doing some guest blog posting.and I want to measure how successful my effort was: when deciding the value of the links from the article Does google take into account how many times the article is read? Because some people do not bother taking further actions (like/share/clicks) even they like it. how do you guys check the amount of reader of those articles? I can't track this article views through analytics obviousely. On the other hand let say the article create valuable info to the readers (many people read it) but no likes/shares/bookmarks would this still be a successful article marketing?

Social Media & SEO
I just wanted to see what your opinions were on this. Does being active on social media help with your SEO efforts. I'm not talking about having a link to your website on your Facebook page, but in general commenting on news stories and having conversations. Would Google prefer you over a competitor if you were more active on social media?
