I definitely recommend Google+ to build circles and share content
Second would be blogging and creating unique content
Third would be LinkedIn to share your blog posts and Google+ content in groups and to your connections

Social Hours: You budget either your hours or a staff persons hours to do social, but need to be laser focused on what will get social traction but also help SEO

To start...
TWITTER
You can use a tool like SocialBro to analyze your twitter followers. There you want more relevant followers and industry influencers to follow you. From there you can begin sending targeted tweets incorporating the @ accounts of your key influencers. Try to follow their posts and blogs and have relevant discussions with them including keyword #hashtags. #FF Fan Friday shout outs are great ways to build good will.GOOGLE+
Build your circles and add great content worthy of +1's and sharesLINKEDIN
Setup a company page and join relevant groups. Then use your posts to target messages that group members and your followers find valuable.Aaron

Re-branding Company Social Profiles
Hi Does anyone have experience of re-branding LinkedIN or Facebook? Can you keep the company page/followers and just change your name or do you have to start again? Thank you!

Social media signals and their roles in Google rankings
Hello, I keep on hearing that social media signals have a role in the way Google ranks pages and sites, but for now, I haven't seen any hard evidence of that. Like any other company, we have pages on facebook, linkedin, google plus and twitter, to which we post daily. No, there are no clients coming in from social media, so I was wondering if it's worth investing time in adding every day updates, unless those count in ranking on Google. What do you think, is there a link between social media and Google rankings, and how much does this weight in ranking my sites? Thank you

Social Media Profile and Diversity
Hey everything, how is it going? I am fully convinced of the importance of Social Media. I already witnessed the power of social with my facebook fan page. I am fully implementing facebook, twitter, youtube, and pinterest. I am starting to use Google +. Is there any other social "must" for companies in order to include them on my social media profile? such as Linked In, Scribd, SlideShare. etc.. I forgot to mention we are specialized B2B Ecommerce company.

Do social media buttons work better "within" a website or "outside" of a website?
Websites like techcrunch.com include the social media buttons (+1, FB like, linkedin etc.) to the left of their articles so they seem to float outside of the content. Some even let the social media buttons wander while scrolling, so that they are always visible (e.g. here: http://www.kirstenwinkler.com/news-from-palabea-and-how-to-prepare-kids-for-tomorrow/). The "traditional" way has been to include the buttons within the content, e.g. on top of the article or on the right hand side. I was wondering which alternative has the largest impact. Intuitively "outside" of the content should be more visible as it "breaks" with the website design. Has anyone done an empirical test which version gets more clicks?
