How to best promote this content via social media to gain backlinks
-
I have created this content http://www.musicliveuk.com/live-music/the-worst-function-bands-and-wedding-bands-ever in order to promote it via social media. Ideally I want it to be shared across the web in order to gain backlinks. My question is how can I best do this? I know I can post it on twitter, facebook, google plus etc... but is that it? I'm new to social media and don't really understand how to use it to good effect. By posting it on social networking sites am I risking people copying the content and duplicate content penalties? Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Samuel,
Just copy what seoMoz is doing with their blogs :).
Take a look at the placement of social buttons on their blog posts and track them on various social network in order to see how they promote blog posts. Also there are lots of posts and videos related to social networks on this site, so give search button some love.
As for being worried about people stealing your content, don't be. Produce quality content, share it and interact with your visitors. If somebody happens to steal your content, be cool to them, kindly ask for back-link and offer a guest post. Make friends not enemies, after all if they are stealing your content, it must be really good.
Kind regards
Bojan

Social Media Tracking
We currently use Sharing from JetPack to offer people the ability to share our blogs on Twitter, Facebook, and so on. Unfortunately the Site Stats provided are not very thorough and not able to be tracked in Google Analytics. Does anyone have a suggestion on which program is best to use for social media tracking? We would prefer to use one program to gather and show all of the statistics.

How to keep social sharing if we change the URL ?
Hi, We want to change the URL of the blogposts. We want to remove the date, so the URL ... websitename.ca/blog/2012/02/04/name-of-the-article/ would become websitename.ca/blog/name-of-the-article/ For SEO link juice it's OK because we will implement 301 redirect on all URL. But we have many Like, Google + and Tweet on our articles. Is there a way we can maintain our social share (Facebook, Twitter and G+) for each URL if we change them ? We are using Wordpress and we have around 1 500 blogpost. Thanks for your time

Website Competiton - sharing the entry on social media
Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you could help me with this. Basically one of our clients will host a competition on their website soon. Once a visitor completed the entry form I would like to have social media buttons on that page that automatically place text into your social media account if you chose to "share" or "tweet" your entry. For example it could automatically place "I have just entered to win .... You should try it out as well!" into the twitter or Facebook posting field. I have tried looking around, but honestly I am not sure what the look for. How could this be achieved or what it is called? Thank you
