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

Has anyone done any testing on LinkedIn Endorsements to see if they are of any SEO value?
Hi, Has anyone done any testing on LinkedIn Endorsements to see if they are of any SEO value? It is so easy to endorse a persons skills, it seems to devalue the credit given. But, if it is adding any SEO value, why not? Thanks so much, Donna 🙂

Does Twitter and Facebook feeds help SEO
For a new site, I want to feed in Twitter updates and Facebook posts onto the page. I regularly update these feeds. I'm using PHP to directly integrate with the two sites API and grab the data. Is this a good idea? Will it help SEO as its fresh content? Is it a good or bad idea to have a social media feed page on the site that grabs content from these sites?

Help with Brands Facebook page
Hi Guys I desperately need help on this one.......I have taken over the management of a Brand's facebook page and have some concerns as to how it was setup. The account was opened by an individual that has a personal account but they did not open the brands page from their personal account...instead they used a slightly different email address and opened a new page business account. I am not able to comment on any comments on this account and i am assuming it was as a result that there is no "profile" (not sure). Should i go ahead and create the profile with the details of someone at the brand? or how should i proceed to rectify this......am i not able to comment as a result of not having a profile?? help! UpDate: The comment issue has been resolved and it seemed to be browser / firewall related...never happened before...very strange

Anyone know if optimal Twitter use frequency for promoting a keyword i.e how much is too much
Have a Twitter account and theres much confusion over Twitters use of planting keywords into posts and have some SEO benefit from this. Wondering if anyone has come accross an effective use of promoting keyterms on by twitter posting and how often is deemed okay? Generally see some twitter users who are obvioulsy promoting keyterms for their buisness or company who put in as much as five to ten posts in any one day for the same keyword, or keyphrase. while this looks spammy surely this is liable to be flagged by the search engines? Appreciate any insights on this.

Let's talk about Facebook Comments!
Have you seen Jen's post on the SEO Blog today about Facebook? I am really interested in testing out Facebook comments. Are any of you guys using them? Here are my thoughts: Benefits: Will make it easy for people to comment (assuming they have a facebook account) Their comments are shared on their wall and on their friends' news feeds so you could potentially get a LOT of exposure and traffic. Potential Drawbacks: Who controls the content? If facebook decides to pull this feature will we lose all of our comments? What is the moderation like? Do I get to approve which comments are posted? Some people may be reluctant to comment if they know that their friends are going to see what they wrote. What do you guys think? Are you going to use FB comments?
