Anyone know if optimal Twitter use frequency for promoting a keyword i.e how much is too much
-
Have a Twitter account and theres much confusion over Twitters use of planting keywords into posts and have some SEO benefit from this.
Wondering if anyone has come accross an effective use of promoting keyterms on by twitter posting and how often is deemed okay?
Generally see some twitter users who are obvioulsy promoting keyterms for their buisness or company who put in as much as five to ten posts in any one day for the same keyword, or keyphrase. while this looks spammy surely this is liable to be flagged by the search engines?
Appreciate any insights on this.

The spam mindset works on the basis that enough will get through to make it worthwhile. I don't get it either...
FWIW, we're seeing increasing Twitter traffic to PRNewswire.com and we're experimenting with a mix of accounts. he full list is here http://www.prnewswire.com/contact-us/prnewswire-on-twitter/
There's also good case study on the SEO value of tweets here http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-tweet-effect-how-twitter-affects-rankings-12781
Good luck

Thank you for the adivce Rod. Though cant help but wonder how those who do post those numerous keyterm riddled posts in a day get on. Certainly they appear irritating, I'm sure, to most prospective followers but they continue to do it. Ive seen the automated kind (ugh the worst) and the spammy feeds. surely common sense would dicate that they should cease if theres no benefit? yet they continue, curiously why? I'm with you on the Human engagement value, but curiosity remains. Much appreciate your reply.

Keep it 'human' would be my advice. Search engines are looking for automated or spammy Twitter feeds and have said they give more weight to real people tweeting or retweeting over bots. So it's fine to do a few duplicate tweets, but don't just broadcast, be on hand to respond or thank people for their retweets.

Hi Eric, Much appreciate your reply, This is something that has been a source of uncertainty for some time.
Theres a new Twitter (follow/like) button which will be looking to implement as well as the new Google + 1 (although the code page reference for the button I received in a notification alert email didn't access the page). These should help a little too.

Don't be concerned with how often your account/s should tweet specific keywords and/or custom shortened URLs. Button up your on page factors first. Then, figure out how to let people know about your awesome pages and how to motivate them to share, and link, to them.
You can rest assured that having 5 or 10 small, but topically focused, Twitter accounts tweet your stuff once is more influential as far as social signals go than having your 1 large account tweet your own stuff 5 or 10 times.

Facebook Ads Frequency Setting in Ad Set
Hello Guys, I have something which annoyes me already a long time with FB Ads. When you set up a campaign and an ad set and you have in your ad set 3 different ads (which makes totally sense to test them against each other) facebook is deciding really often way too early which ad might be the best ad. Often the algorithm starts to prefer one ad already after a few hundred impressions and the other ads are not getting any impressions any more. I cannot find an option like in Google Adwords that just all Ads are shown the same amount of times and that I can decide then on my own which ad I prefer to run. Unfortunately I cannot find anywhere an option to disable this 'auto-optimization' and I didn't find anyhting in the web as well. Would be pretty happy if someone can help me with this problem! Thanks!

Extremely useful facebook app. Which is it ?
Hi, Just noticed what to me and our ecomm site seemed like an extremely useful way of advertizing on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/?sk=lf#!/lindexnorge . At the time of writing its the 2nd one on this facebook site. This which I assume is an app gives in this case 30% off on dress of your own choosing. Clicking the box sends you an email from facebook with info. It specifies in pop up after clicking that your mail adress has not been shared with the ecom site. There is also a smaller line on bottom were default is to share this with your friends on facebook. You have to change this in order not to. Within 24 hours this one is up to 20k uses and that is quite a lot in a small country like norway. Anyone understand which app this is or how it can be done ? Dan Lærum

Twitter, Please direct me to background image guide
Hi guys, I'm having trouble coming up with a proper twitter background. I'm just going to start with a simple solid green with branding info in the top left. Do you guys know of an article that gives me the exact dimensions and placement to put things as far as where to put my logo and name in the background image and how wide and tall to make my logo and name. Or you can just tell me, but an article would be fine. The articles I've read are not consistent. Thank you!
