What social would be good, what buttons to use
-
Hello,
What social media do you recommend for
nlpca(dot)com
and what kind of buttons convert best for a site like that?
We're working on facebook right now:

So far I like the buttons on the top right of this site: weddingmountain(dot)com.
Thanks!

Currently you have a share Facebook button, however a "like" is much easier for the user (just one click) and still shows up in the user's timeline. I'd suggest changing that to just a "like" button. It wouldn't hurt to have a link to your facebook page as well.
Since your page is so new, I'd ask all your friends and family to like your page so that it looks like it has a few more interested people.
I also agree with Phillip that you'll probably need to test what works best for you. There is no magic number or formula when it comes to placing social buttons.
Hope this helps!

Let's focus on facebook. Do you suggest that we just put the basic 'like' button up for now?

It's nlpca (with an L) not nipca (with an i) I think is why you oculdn't see the site. It shows up fine on this end.

You're probably going to need to test to get the answers to these questions. Those buttons on weddingmountain look good, but that's because they fit into the theme of the site so well. Once you have a theme set up you can find buttons that match, and then you can play with placement to see what works for you.
Also, nipca doesn't seem to be a site yet.... I got the default GoDaddy page when I visited it.

Social widgets, iFrames, Duplicate content and more...
Hi guys, I am thinking about embedding a widget on my website that pulls social content from a number of networks. The script (javascript) creates and iFrame and serves up social content which is embedded in an external page ie: Tweet --> embedded on widget-domain.com/page.html --> embedded on my-domain.com via an iFrame. Questions: 1. Will this carry any SEO benefit? Will Google see this as "fresh + frequent" content?

2. Will this carry any SEO penalties? Will Google see this as duplicate content? I hope thats enough info to get some feedback - let me know if I can provide any more.0 -

Facebook Like Button vs Like Box
We want to add the Facebook Like and Google Plus One functionality to our website but had a question. Is it better for SEO and usability to use a global Facebook Like Button for people to Like the home page of our website or a Facebook Like Box to Like our Facebook page from our website? I know that we can specify the URL in the Like Button but I wanted to get some feedback. Thanks!

What Happens To Social Media Love After A 301?
Say you have a WordPress site with a number of posts that have all been given lots of tweets, G+, FB likes and other social media love, and say you are showing that using a social media plugin on each post that shows the counts of all of these. If you 301 redirect the pages to another site, will the social media love counts follow, or will the page on the new site have to start again as far as social media is concerned? QhqeL

Social mentions and 301 to new domain
Hi all, I have noticed that when moving to a new domain your normal links will move along with you when you set proper 301 redirects and use google webmaster tools. But I'm under the impression your twitter mentions, fb likes etc. on the different pages will be lost... I'm looking forward to your comments and ideas. Cheers

Social Media Marketing focus and priorities for SEO
Hello Mozzers, I'm looking at Social Media Marketing and wondering what counts for most in terms of SEO - (A) shares and likes from specific web pages, or (B) followers, likes, etc., on social media profile pages? What does Google measure vis-a-vis your website? Also, regarding Twitter, if a twitterer forwards on a tweet manually (by inserting RT) - and his RT is then shared, does that count for anything, or is it better for clients if RTweeters simply press the RT button. And should I include URLs in tweets, facebook posts, etc? And do backlinks help beyond increasing website visitor numbers - do any of the social media marketing tools pass juice back to websites via backlinks? Thanks in advance :), Luke

Identifying Social Activity of Competition in Open Site Explorer.
Analysing the competition in Open Site Explorer, as you all know the results come back with the following detail: Facebook Shares Facebook Likes Tweets Google +1 There is no link through to the pages that have liked, followed or tweeted the URL. I want to understand what the competition is doing in moire detail. How are these numbers actually defined? Is their any way (or whats the best way) to identify the individual pages that the numbers refer to? Thanks in advance. Justin
