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

For better SEO I understand I should be using Google+, but under what identity?
It appears one way to rank more highly is by using Google+. But should I start to build a community myself or as my company? I have a good Twitter following under my own name, which links to my company page and a facebook page (for my business). I much prefer to be a face on social media than hide behing a logo, but am faced with a dilemma and not sure where to begin: Will Google recognise the relationship between me and my business if I set up an account under my own name? Primarily it's my business I want to promote, so from an seo perspective it seems should I use Google+ as my business, but I really dislike 'corporate' social media?

Buying Facebook Shares?
Would it be considered buying links if you asked your Facebook fan base to share a specific product page, and by doing so they will be entered to win a drawing? How would Google look at this? And could we expect a significant increase in rankings as a result? Or would it just be a temporary "what's trending?" boost you think?
