FB Shares in SEOmoz Keyword Analysis Tool
-
Hello everybody,
I'm quite confused in how to understand "FB Shares" in SEOmoz Keyword Analysis Tool Report. As You may know, this section is under report's "Social Signals" category.
Does this number counts whole FB shares of some website links by ALL FB users? Or is it a number of some website FB account posts? Some clearance would be very helpful..
The same question applies to other social signal reports: Tweets, Google+ shares.
Thank You for your answer!
Happy New Year!

If you are using a 3rd party social media company like ShareThis or AddThis, it should be a little inaccurate. I know what you are talking about because I have a few hundred FB Likes on my site, but SEOmoz shows different. I think it gets it's information from facebook's Open Graph.

Francisco, thank You for your answer!
I do understand what the share is, but it confused me when I saw major inaccuracy in SEOmoz report and some FB account. Maybe it is just matter of update.
I will mark this question as answered.

I don't totally understand your question, but I'll give it a shot.
Go to the bottom of this page and click the Facebook button: http://www.shipoverseas.com/us/ship-car/latin-america/shipping-car-to-puerto-rico.html
That button is a "share" button. "You" are "sharing" that page on "your" facebook wall.
Now if you copy that URL and paste it on your wall, you are also "sharing" that URL.
Sharing is NOT the number of posts I make on the company's wall. That's kind of like tweeting on your own wall. Tweets on other peoples wall is counted, but you can't tweet yourself and have it count. So if I tweet a URL from your website, then you get a tweet in SEOmoz. If I share your url on my FB, you get a share. If I like your URL on Facebook. you get a like.

Why seomoz crawler does not see my snapshot?
I have a web app that uses angularJS and the content is all dynamic (SPA). I have generated snapshots for the pages and write a rule to redirect ( 301) to the snapshot in case of find escaped_fragment in the URL. E.g http://plure.com/#!/imoveis/venda/rj/rio-de-janeiro Request: http://plure.com/?escaped_fragment=/imoveis/venda/rj/rio-de-janeiro is redirected to: http://plure.com/snapshots/imoveis/venda/rj/rio-de-janeiro/ The snapshot is a headless page generated by PhantomJS. Even following the guideline ( https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/specification) I still can't see my page crawled and I also in SEOMoz I can only see the 1st page crawled with no dynamic content on it. Am I doing something wrong? SEOMoz was supposed to get the snapshot based on same rules of GoogleBot or SEOMoz does not get snapshots?

Tracking Local Keywords in Campaigns.
When selecting keywords to track in campaign mode, how should I enter the keywords for a company located in a city that shares the same name as another city in a different state? My assumption is that if you're searching for "Garden City Plumber" within Garden City Michigan that Google will know your IP and show local results (as opposed to results from Garden City California). If I want to track the key phrase "Garden City Plumber" in campaign mode how will SEOMoz know which city to deliver results for? Thanks in advance.

Keyword Difficulty Tool on local results. Is this really working?
I've tried the Keyword Difficulty Tool on "consultant seo" in Romania (that is .ro) The tool says that it's Highly Competitive (59%), but I've got my website on #8 in 2 weeks. Question: Is this tool really working for local results? It seems way off... Actually I was kind of expecting for this keyword to be easy, what is confusing is the "59%" from the Keyword Difficulty results. Thanks for the answers!

What's Your SEOmoz Favorite?
Obviously, SEOmoz is full of awesomeness. But I'm curious as to what sections, tools, etc. of SEOmoz are the users' favorites? For me, it's a close race between the blog, Linkscape/Open Site Explorer, and the search overlay tool on the Mozbar. What are your favorites?
