Is using a platform to automatically cross post on the social bookmarking websites good or bad for SEO?

I tend to agree with Valery - it depends a lot on the audience and your engagement. If you're active on a site and have a strong profile, then auto-posting your new content often makes sense. If you're just submitting content to 100s of social bookmarking sites, with no real profile and very low authority, you're not going to accomplish much. Google will likely just ignore it, for the most part.

Hi Melia,
we are using MagicSubmitter since 2 years - we have good results - its like manuel linkbuilding because u can schedule every task (post). MS u can use to pos to almost any side. -
From a pure 'does Google notice and rank this' perspective auto cross-posting doesn't really have a measurable effect that I've seen.
However, it entirely depends on the audience you are publishing to and their level of engagement. If you have people actually reading those social platforms and sharing your content in turn, then it's obviously a slamdunk that you should be doing it. For some clients I've had a tweet live for weeks, getting forwarded around, showing up on blogs, etc.
There's two questions to ask really:
1. Do you have an engaged audience that is going to use this content?
2. How do you tell if it's even being shared/read?
You'll note that I haven't addressed how measurable Google's response to this kind of thing because in my opinion... it isn't really measurable as of yet.

Thanks! How long have you been using Magic Submiter? Have you see any results? Also, what do you recommend on how to use the tool to keep from abusing it? I just want to make sure I am not cross-posting to the point where search engines consider it a spammy technique.

Hi Melia,
we also hav bin using OnlyWire.com - the problem of OnlyWire.com is that they are postin all at 1 time - and all the same so that does not look very natural.You still get links but like I said I dont think google will give the same value to it if they notice that it is automated (all at same time / all same content)
The only tool that works out 4 us to automate some parts of linkbuilding ist
http://www.magicsubmitter.com/ - the page look little spamy but the tool ist the best!hope that did help
-
Thank you for your reply. I am going to use OnlyWire.com.

How relevant is social bookmarking for SEO today?
I've been doing SEO for a little over 4 years. I've never used sites like Digg, Stumbleupon, Reddit, etc. either personally or on behalf of my clients. This past week I had a discussion with another SEO who asked what I'm doing for my clients with regard to social bookmarking. I responded that I'm really not doing anything and they were shocked. I took a pretty good verbal beating over it. She was borderline offended. I have always been able to deliver solid results for my clients without any type of social bookmarking, so I struggle to see the need, but am surprised at how shocked this other SEO was that I don't do it. How beneficial is it and am I really missing out?

Anyone use the new "Social Settings" in Google Analytics?
In the past couple of months, Google rolled out a tab called "Social Settings" in the Admin area (see image). It's an optional setting, and Google is rather vague about what it does. GA already tracks social in "Traffic Sources," so what is the advantage of using Social Settings? If you've used these new settings, what have your experiences been? Were the settings helpful? Did they completely screw up your analytics? Thanks, Benjamin Ri5bY Ri5bY.jpg

Social Media For Doctors Office Help!
I have a client that I am doing web-work for...I recommended for him to claim his Facebook Place page as well as create a twitter account. He's a little skeptical and doesn't think that a doctors office needs a Facebook and twitter page. I strongly disagree with him and would like to show him some facts. Has anyone ever done social media for a doctors office before or know where I can get some good information? Thanks in advance!
