Facebook comments and seo
-
hi everyone
i wondered if googlebot explores facebook comments and if not, what are the seo benefits of facebook comments module?
As you can see below, techcrunch has added facebook comments in pages

So is it useful for SEO purposes?

Hello,
could you say what the name of that plugin?
-
I had the exact same question, and found a Wordpress plugin that makes Facebook comments readable.
-
It may be that using this add on has some benefits within Facebook search which is currently pretty patchy in my experience.
-
my technical team, also thinks that comments are not viewable when googlebot explores the website...
so if everybody thinks so, that means it isn't necessary for seo purposes to use the new facebook comments plugin na?
-
Hmmm, interesting, ill have a play. Cheers Lewis.

Facebook comments are locatable within Facebook but all testing I have seen/done has shown that they are not viewable via Google.
You can check by searching for a facebook comment you have made using site:facebook.com so it only returns results from the Facebook domain.

Hey Franck
I am completely lost when it comes to facebook. Twitter I can understand, it's all public (or most of it, unless you opt out) but facebook activity is mostly private. I am guessing that this mainly relates to public facebook pages and the like but I still don't understand how facebook shares impact SEO and had been meaning to post that very question.
Anyone got the 5 minute skinny on this?

Does Social Media hold value with SEO? If so then how?
Hey So I've been doing some research and it looks like theres a "human authority" and a "Page authority". I dont know if it is still relevant or if it has all changed because of Panda. Does social media still hold any SEO value? Do social media platforms like Pinterest and Youtube and twitter drive any valuable Anchor texts to your domain boostin your domain's authority or the page that it is linking to's authority?

Explanation of Facebook referral paths in Google Analytics
In the past month I have seen a huge increase in the visits + conversions from Facebook (which is obviously great). However, from Google Analytics it appears that most of my visits are not coming from my brand page. Is there an explanation of what these referral paths mean? Top Facebook referral paths: / /l.php /home.php /ajax/emu/end.php /brand - much less visits than above URLs

Has anyone else noticed a dramatic drop in Facebook post impressions?
One of the clients I manage has over 5,000 Facebook fans. Whenever I'd make a post, it usually would get ~700-1,000 impressions. About two weeks ago I did my first promoted post. Ever since then, all the regular posts I've done have only gotten ~100 impressions . . . out of 5,325! I'm wondering if Facebook, once learning that you are willing to pay for promoted posts, secretly lowers your impression count so that you will pay for promoted posts more often, or if the timing of my promoted post was just a coincidence, and everyone started to see a decrease about two weeks ago. Does anyone know what's going on?

Thinking of trying a SEO Badge Widget project... any advice?
What are some best practices for launching a Badge program? I've been researching this for a large brand... they feel they want to have these badges to promote certain blogger partners within a niche. However, we have no way to "Rank" the bloggers... so it's an arbitrary factor, IMO. What are some of the hooks that other successful badge programs have used? Is there a definitive post around here with suggestions? I'm really on ground zero and have been tasked to execute on this and really seem to be flying blind. Any guidance or suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

Facebook Likes not counted
So many of my clients are (very) small businesses and have added a like button to their website home pages that actually has the person liking their Facebook page rather than the website. Without debating the pros and cons of this approach, it would seem that Facebook has changed it so that if someone clicks a like button that is for a page they have not actually visited the like does not show up in the like count for that page? Is that correct?

Constantly randomly rejected Facebook ads, how to solve this?
Im pulling my hairs out literally, Facebook has been constantly rejecting my ads, throwing away All the work it took the campaigns to set them up. This is getting frustrating since I allways get the same "image" reason. What bothers me is the themes are similar to previously approved ads and I for one cannot find a reason on their lists for the rejection. So I was thinking of just resending the same ads with a higher bid, to test if they approved them or not, but don't know how this will work. Is there a way to contact them to actually tell you what they think was wrong? Is there a chance to file a complaint for the rejection of the same ad with different targeting just on different dates? Im really really stressed out since ive lost 10hours of work dealing with this constant rejection nonsense.
