Slow Facebook Script
-
Does anyone know how to improve Facebook script loading (for the FB Page Social Box). It seems to load on my site but Chrome takes for ever to finish the hour glass.
-
Yea, I've already done that but its still loading too slow. Not impressed with them much.

Hi,
There is a piece of code that you can add to page source which will instruct the page to load first and then for the social box to load afterwards. This means that your page will load without being slowed down by the social network's servers if they're experiencing high volumes of traffic.
Below is a good article on how to do it for Twitter, I imagine a similar thing would work for Facebook - http://remysharp.com/2007/03/20/how-to-add-twitter-to-your-blog-without-it-hanging-your-site/
Hope it helps!

Do having social sharing icons such as Twitter and Pinterest slow down site speed?
We are debating a redesign of a travel site and wondering whether having social sharing buttons including Pinterest and Facebook above each image would slow down site speed and therefore have a negative impact on our rankings. We are deciding between having the icons above each image or just in the side bar of all pages. Many thanks, Penny

How do you guestimate facebook brand searches?
Buongiorno from Weherby Uk 🙂 With brands all clamouring to get a stake in Facebook I wonder how many people actually search for brands on facebook. For example www.evian.com promote their facebook page on their bottles but how could you work out how many searches are entered in the facebook search box for evian as illustrated here:http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/facebook-search-volumes.jpg So my question is please: "How do you work out search volumes for search entries via facebook"? Thanks in advance 🙂

Anyone do SEO for facebook business pages? I'm having trouble with timeline layout.
I am working on my facebook business page and am frustrated with the new "timeline" facebook layout which really does not make sense as a business page. I have not found a way to change it to a traditional layout and have read some posts that said facebook does not allow you to go back from timeline. Does anyone have a good layout suggestions for a facebook business page with SEO in mind? Thanks.

ShopTab Facebook App - Duplicate Content Issue?
Hello I've been trialling an app for Facebook called Shoptab where you can add a shopfront to your Facebook page and then users can browse through the items and when they click buy or more info they are linked through to the main site. The app displays the product, title, description etc so I was wondering if we would run the risk of duplicate content issues by loading our inventory to this app? OR would Google see the hyperlink through to the original item and no damage done? It would be very easy to add our whole inventory to this app. Thanks

Facebook Open Graph Tags: Thoughts on OG:Type
I am wondering how Facebook uses the data enclosed in OG Type tags? Facebook wants you to stick to the types listed though it's fairly limited in scope. Our pages are in the accommodation space but they are not HOTELS. In this instance would you list as COMPANY or go with HOTELS. Curious to hear your thoughts - thanks!
