Are you doing SEO on Twiiter and Facebook pages?
-
Seems to be a thought process emerging (CALL THE MEDIA!) that twiiter and facebook are having through various different paths a real ranking effect. Is anyone now doing SEO on a clients Social media page because of this. I know they are no follow. I am not sure they don't pass juice.

Thanks James, Excellent response.
Are you or anyone else actually building back links to the social media page?

Hi,
I think it is evident that many companies in the market are providing best practice for Twitter and Facebook SEO, you show clients how to use these properties effectively to aid SEO.
I mean Twitter can be used for not only link building yet also link prospecting.
Facebook is a bit more difficult for optimization yet you can acquire a keyword rich URL and optimize specific sections of your Facebook profile such as Info/About me which is crawled by Google. You can also do thinks like optimize Facebook comments boxes to AID SEO.
In the end it is not so much about passing juice it is about creating buzz to aid link bait, PR, create noise, I also feel that Twitter has great SEO benefit. Yet you can be still smart with Facebook pages to aid SEO.
Regards,
James Norquay

Twitter and Facebook Back-link Aquisition procedure?
This is another novice question that I hope is easy to answer for someone out there. How do you get a backlink from twitter or facebook? Either Open Site Explorer is not recognizing my accounts or twitter and facebook are not reporting it for some reason. I have looked at other competitors and they have twitter and facebook that show up as linking to them. Do you have to do something special to get a link? Utah Tiger

How do you moderate facebook comments?
I added facebook comments to many pages on my site. Does anyone know how you can moderate (or even see) what comments have been left? If I go to facebook.com/insights for my website it tells me that I have had 15 comments this month. But, if I go to "popular pages" it shows me 1 page. If I click on that page I can see that one comment. But where are the other 14? I really like the idea that when people leave a facebook comment on my page it goes on their friends' news streams and then my site gets more exposure. But, if I can't moderate my comments that would not be good!
