Hi Mozzers,

I'm trying to build a google spreadsheet to import only bios of users followers on twitters (followerwonk generates a little too much for what I need). i have tried every different importXML i can think of. Anybody have any suggestions to get it out using importXML on Google Docs.

Thank in advance,

Chris

Have you tried this?
1. Add your list of users or followers in column A.
2. Add this in column B: =ImportXML(A1, "//span[@class='bio']")

Autoposting to Twitter

Hi all, I have a Twitter account. I have some data i receive from a third party. When new data arrives (these are football lineups) I want to post this to my Twitter. The data arrives approximately 60-30 minutes before matches start. So if I use twitterfeed i can get the data checked each 30 minutes - but this can result in tweets with data for matches that already started. How can i post my data automatically...and almost instantly upon reception? Not sure if this issue is for the MOZ forum, but I am pretty certain that there are some good developers out there that could help me? -Rasmus

Where is Schema, Twitter cards and OpenGraph code need?

Hello, I've adding OpenGraph, Twitter cards and Google's Schema code to my website to help these services pick the correct information about my website. I'm doing this as per the Moz SEO cheatsheet. Does these rich snippets need to be on the index page only, or should they appear on every page?

OpenSite Explorer doesn't show Twitter

When I type competitors sites into opensiteexplorer it shows their Twitter page as one of the tops links back. However, my site, our Twitter page isn't even on the links back. Does twitter even though no follow hold any value? Why can't opensite explorer see it? If OSE can't see it then do you think Google isn't?

Do any short url's pass link juice? googles own? twitters?

I've read a few posts saying not shorten links at all but we have a lot to tweet and need to. Is googles shortener the best option? I've considered linking to the category index page the article is on and expect the user to find the article and click on the article, I don't like the experience that creates though. I've considered making the article permalink tiny but I would lose the page title being in the url. Is this the best option?

Our Twitter App

Hi Mozzers, We had a question about our twitter app http://www.arenaflowers.com/flowers-fun/flowers/home This app sends messages out to tweeters for their Birthday, to say congratulations etc. Our question relates to the fact that we are generating 1,000 of pages of content (like this:http://www.arenaflowers.com/flowers-fun/flowers/message?id=394447 ) with some unique content, but these orphaned pages aren't really linked to and only have short-term traffic influx. Our question is whether these small, orphaned pages are likely to be seen as lots of random, low quality, low content pages - and whether that might hurt our Google ranking. Sometimes the virtual cards are linked to by blogs and tweets etc, so we don't want them not indexed but equally, we don't want our rankings to be damaged by them. Wonder if anyone has any thoughts, opinions or any similar experience? Thanks, Arena Flowers

Value of Twitter Links

Let's ignore the "social metric" value of Twitter links and mentions and look at it from the pure link juice point of view. Twitter accounts such as http://twitter.com/randfish used to have their own PageRank and were treated as separate URLs. Twitter changed that to http://twitter.com/#!/randfish consolidating all their content to a single URL. When I search for "randfish" in Google, however, the result is the first URL version. Some clarification on this matter would be much appreciated.
