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
http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/04/facebook-iphone-event-check-ins
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?

Facebook won't spend my ad budget. Any recommendations?
What do you do when Facebook won't spend your ad budget, no matter what you do or how high you bid? We've tested a large audience (2.2 million reach) under a single ad set versus many smaller ad sets with tighter targeting (50-150k reach). We've tested auto bidding versus manual bidding with bids as high as 1000% higher than Facebook's recommended bid. We've tested many versions of creative with and without text overlay and our relevance scores are high. Nothing seems to work. Our Facebook rep and Facebook technical support keep recommending to stay with one ad set and one ad, but that's not spending either. Most days we are getting less than 20% budget utilization. Has anyone experienced this situation before? Does anyone have any recommendations?

Facebook comments plugin moderation
Hello I am trying to integrate the Facebook social plugin http://developers.facebook.com/docs/...gins/comments/ into my website. So far I have included the HTML 5 code in my site and it is visible, but how can I moderate the comments before they are being posted? I have included into the header of the root of my site but when viewing the comments area on a page within my site I cannot see any moderation options? Hope this makes sense and someone can help Many Thanks

Fiverr offers services like 1000 likes for $5!!! (and they seem to deliver) Sounds great but what is the catch? Has anyone tried out these type of services and more importantly what are the potential penalties?

Pintrest and SEO
Can a company benefit from Pinrest? and if so what type of Company? I know that some companies can for example, if I sold hair supplies and I placed images of hair styles when a user clicks on my picture it directs them to my site which is relevant I know they will likely interact, However if I offer a service like an SEO service, can Pintrest hurt my SEO efforts by creating a higher bounce rate. Someone clicks on my picture or repins it when they get to my site they lose interest. Does this influence my results for better or worse? and I know that Pintrest is nofollow, so I don't expect to get any link juice from an image link.

Buying Facebook Likes
It's quite easy to buy Facebook likes & fans these days. You can get 200 for five bucks at fiverr. I am sure that most of the likes are from fake accounts. But do you think it will have any affect anyway? And is this black hat SEO or is it just collateral from trying to boost the # likes / fans?
