How would you determine the value of a Facebook fan? Not just a Facebook referral, but an actual fan of your business or website. Is there a set of best metrics or a particular model that you suggest?

Right now, the way that we value facebook fans for different clients is by looking at our analytics and conversions. How many facebook users are referred to our website from our page, how many of those make a purchase? It really depends on your business, but right now I am seeing that retailers with a facebook page gain more conversions from their facebook page; specially when they post coupon codes just for their facebook followers.

Videos perform poorly on facebook...why?

I have a facebook page with 42,000 Real fans. Images, screenshots, links, questions, etc all perform well. But videos get 0 interaction. If I get 5 likes that is saying something. Why would facebook not send out my videos to people? Is there a way to increase them? It is very frustrating to post our youtube videos to get no response. My fans are most 13-30 yr old gamers, so videos should be right up their alley.

Social media signals from Facebook comment plugin on your site?

If you are using the Facebook social plugin on your site like ThinkGeek does for comments: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ed6b/ Are there any positive social signals from people leaving comments that could impact the SEO of the page? I searched the text of some comments in quotations in Google and it appears that the first few comments are indexed but most are not.

Facebook and Google+ Not Properly Picked Up

Hello, I have been having issues for some time now getting my Google+ and Facebook activity to show in the social media section of site explorer. Was anyone else having this same issue? I have verified my website to both pages and the Facebook page receives a considerable amount of traffic so it is very confusing to me. Any help is much appreciated. Thank You Steve

How to determinate current site situation?

Sorry for probably stupid question. But we are asking it ourself during last few month and can't make a decision. After reading this article (http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whats-better-on-page-seo-or-link-building) it is hard to say which case is for us. We have the eCommerce site, but we are using category pages in addition to eCommerce. So we put on this page images, specifications and videos for a bunch of products. On the specific product page from eCommers we have only general information about products and a canonical tag that goes to the category page described above. This was done to avoid duplication content for similar products. So we concentrated on these main category pages. SEOmoz shows to us: Duplicate Page Content - 179 (why is canonical tag not working?),
Duplicate Page Title - 746 (why is canonical tag not working?), Long URL (> 115 characters) - 117
Temporary Redirect - 1,306(eCommerce login redirect)
Title Element Too Short - 63
Title Element Too Long (> 70 Characters) - 2,357(why is canonical tag not working?),
Too Many On-Page Links - 616
Missing Meta Description Tag - 873(why is canonical tag not working?), For main pages, on-page reports look like: Factor Overview
Critical Factors 4 / 4
High Importance Factors 4 / 7
Moderate Importance Factors 8 / 9
Low Importance Factors 7 / 11
Optional Factors 3 / 5 And according to SEOmoz we have 7,865 External Followed Links So please help us to decide which case from article is the best for us. Thank you. Duplicate Page Title

Google+ and Google Search Plus Your World. Are the results served actually the best results?

I recently started a discussion on Google+ and thought I would get some feedback from the SEO community. https://plus.google.com/106060287111641282262/posts/Hpak5R6uY47 This article suggests that Google Search Plus Your World does not improve search quality for users. When a search is performed, I can imagine that results would be skewed to Google+ content and +1s from people in your circles. Doesn't this mean that if you only follow not-so-influential people who share and +1 not so quality stuff that your new "world" results are just going to be low quality? Doesn't this mean that SEO and traditional linking methods are dying? This would mean that the bigger chains will have more advantage just like what happened after Panda. How does the small business compete with this? Any insight would be of super appreciation.
