Using LinkedIn for Facebook likes?
-
Now I know that shortcuts are usually not a good sign for SEO. However if I am on a group on linked and there are Facebook like exchanges going on I am getting real people in the right market, right?
See picture for more details.
Is this valuable?

If you're marketing to marketers, then it is a bit of a different story in that they may actually be interested in your content. I guess it depends on how valuable you find your other interactions with the group. A lot of LinkedIn is about self-promotion, but I often question just who, if anyone, is listening, especially in groups.

Hey Erica,
This is a marketing related LinkedIn group. Anyone who liked me thru the thread might also like my posts because they are marketing related.
A while back we built a FB ad to gain followers and after earning 1000 likes we still had little to no interaction with our users. It was a promotional ad offering a discount for a link.
In my opinion it might be better to get everyone on LinkedIn in related groups to follow you. They are active and relevant.

I advocate to stay away from this kind of "like" swapping. The fans of your Facebook that you want are going to be those who are interested in your brand and your services/product/what you do. Are these people doing to give you that attention? Are they your audience? Or will they just hide your feed in their views?
Growing fans can be done through things like contests, great viral content, or Facebook ads. With all these things, you can target your audience and the people who will really help you and spread the word. And grow your Facebook Edgerank.

No it does not help : )
Your missing the point...
Im on a thread and if I place my facebook name on the thread everyone on the thread will like my company on facebook in return I must like them all back.
These likes are from relevant sources from within a LinkedIn group. Is this good or bad?

If people are actually clicking and moving to those landing pages via those urls then yes - please measure this seriously via GA - if you are not then you wont know.
Again have goals that what and where do these go after reaching those pages or what actions do they peform there on and then measure the goals or events.
Hope this helps

Can You Aggregate Likes from Pages on Your Site to Your Homepage?
I think the Facebook widget is great for social proof if you have a lot of people who like you. (the widget that shows faces of people who like you) Let's say that you create a resource that gets 100 likes. Do those "Likes" only count at the page level or can they be aggregated into a total "Likes" count that you can show on your home page and on the Facebook widget? Or are "Likes" in the Facebook widget only for people who like your Facebook page? (not those who "Like" your site).

Do facebook shares pass share juice the same way links pass link juice?
If i have a page on my domain say PAGE-A and let's say it's located at: http://www.mydomain.com/something/page-a and this page has quite a lot of page authority from many many inbound links. It is my understanding that if i "sculpt" the internal links on PAGE-A to point at only my primary targets, let's call the PAGE-B, PAGE-C, and PAGE-D; then those pages would gain some benefit from this link juice flowing through. Consider a similar situation where i have a page, say PAGE-F located at: http://www.mydomain.com/anotherpage/page-F and page-F gets 150 facebook shares. would the links on page-F pass this benefit on in any way? Or is only the direct target of the facebook share gaining benefit from this facebook sharing? Furthermore, lets consider a scenario where there are 30 or 40 similar pages like PAGE-F all with links out to my primary targets. Would these primary targets gain anything as these 30 or 40 pages gained facebook shares? Repeat above question, replace 'facebook' with 'twitter'. repeat again for 'google+' ?
