Social Media

With so many different social network sites these days which ones really make a difference when it comes to SEO, Facebook? LinkedIn?
I only have limited time with my clients websites and a really want and need to expand their social network exposure
-
you made a good point, so many of my clients keep bringing up budget but if they dont want to invest theirs not much point having an old social media setup, Thank you

I have set up facebook pages for a couple of local sites and the facebook pages themselves have bounced about between page 1 and page 2, appearing on page 1 within a week.
The business owners have tended to leave the pages to stagnate despite my advice and they are still showing on page 2 with no links but a keyword match name.
If the client (or you on their behalf) is prepared to update the status, tweet etc regularly then there may be SEO value but also wider marketing value. If the Twitter page and Facebook page are never updated then it may not be a wise use of your time which you mention is limited.

You have a lot of good info on your site looks good

Amen to that!

cheers buddy

cheers, COME ON MATT RE-TWEET FOR ANDY!!!!

thank you I apreciate that

Personally I use: digg.com, facebook, twitter and delicious - in the exact order posted.
It's a huge differences as far as impact the # of followers you have for each - the merrier the better (friends or likes with facebook, followers with digg and twitter and so on) but even with 0 followers with digg for example you can help some of your pages rank well.
The work involved is limited as far as time (resources) and you can easily spot the ones that work for you best and assign more time to get more exposure with those.
I vote with digg.com at this point as the main SN channel as it helped me a lot even with 0 or limited exposure (followers).
Is not what it was used to be but still it pulses a lot of power - I think it will soon become something like dmoz - it won't get to much direct traffic but you will have a good seo benefit from being present.

Google, Bing and Yahoo all use Facebook and Twitter as metrics, so I would suggest at least using those. But it is also about building up a reputable following as well. For example, if Matt Cutts were to re-tweet an article of mine, it would be a strong signal for the SE's.
Regards,
Andy

Write new articles or republish old ones?
Hi,
Content Development | | Enrico_Cassinelli
we run a tourism information website about a region in italy, and each year, during special occasions such as christmas, easter and so on we publish an article with a "what to do on Christmas / Easter / .... in the Langhe" (collecting events, activities, etc.). Is it better to "reuse" the old articles and change only the year in the title and of course the content (providing that we are gonna keep the URL without year), or to publish a new one? thanks!0 -

Content Writing - it should be for the main corporate site, blog or for social media?
Hi There, I have my main site : example.com and a related blog https://blog.example.com/ My management does not believe frequent content posting on the example.com My Queries 1- Will it help boost ranking of **example.com **if we share frequent content on our blog https://blog.example.com/? How much impact it has? 2- Every body says content is the king, Ok fine, but when you are not allowed to share it on the main corporate site, then where to share it? Blog and social media sites? please help. 3- We are in a business where clients do not bother to go on sites and read, so in this scenario is it correct to say that you hav to create the content for search engine consumption even when your clients dont need it/or have not in the habit of reading it? Hope somebody will enligten me caught in catch 22. Regards Tanveer

If I write a article for a client and use Social Book Marking software, will this add value (or does the value depend on how ofen it gets shared)?
I'm about to start experimenting with bookmarking software. My first step is trying Ping.com (because it's free), but I am also keen to try Onlywire.com (which comes at a cost- darn). My questions are: when I create an article for a client and post to all these social sites will this make a difference? Or will it only make a difference if people share the article? Has anyone been experimenting with social bookmarking software that can tell me what results they have had and how they got there? Thanks a mil!
