Can Twitter really help your Google Rankings??
-
Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me if Twitter really does help with your Goolge rankings?
If I go to the trouble of setting up a Twitter account for my business will it really help with me getting higher rankings?
If so is it a case of me just posting tweets all the time and links to my website?
Any help or guidance be grateful guys
Thanks
Gareth

I'd highly recommend not using Twitter solely for higher rankings. Twitter helps you with brand management, customer service, community management, etc. If you're only using Twitter to try to game Google, you're probably going about it the wrong way. I'd focus on managing your Twitter account in a way that will benefit you as part of your overall marketing strategy.

google +, facebook shares, and then twitter in that order help your rankings. Also it seems they can lose strength over time if no new shares are added to that page.

Twitter, Facebook and any other social media site will help you in Google terms but few things here:
first you don't want to post tweets all day and link to your site, that's a big no. keep it natural try to have your customers follow you and give them relevant information of your industry.
sure sometimes you can run deals (i am not sure what you sale or service) and tweet about that , just make sure your site and twitter account linking one to the other.
do the same with Facebook and few others and yea it will help in the long run and not only to your ranking as don't forget ranking its not the all game customers are and if you communicate true social media it will help you in the long run for sure.
hope that help

Shortcut Link and Referral domain in Google Analytics
Hello, One of my clients has a Facebook page for his company, and his social media manager posts some promotional and educational posts on daily basis. the social media manager uses affiliate ID's in the destination URL to track traffic and leads that come from the social media and to make it look nicer he uses shortcut links service - bitly. Now I have a few questions about this: I don't see traffic comes from bit.ly or bitly.com in Google Analytics, my question: is using 301 redirect makes Google Analytics understand that the last website which sent the traffic to my website is not the actual Referral website? Is using shortcut links in the social media damages the links value (even though they are <nofollow>links - but still considered as signals from social media</nofollow> Thanks. LorS1nd.jpg

Should you have both google authorship & publisher set up on a website?
I have read that its a good idea to have both rel=author & rel= publisher set up on a website If so What is the best way to set it up to where rel=author and rel=publisher appear in your website source code? I use wordpress genesis site and have the Yoast seo plugin **In the user profile section on WP there is an area to enter google Authorship link **In the Yoast dashboard there is a place to enter google publisher link. When I check my source code…….I see rel=publisher only on the home page, however ALL my other WordPress Pages and Posts have rel=author. Does that sound correct?

Leverage other peoples author rank for your site?
Hi quick question, lets say you find writers in your niche and get them to do a guest post for your site and they have also built up alot of author rank (active google+ account, tones of social media followers). From my understanding you cannot leverage their author rank for your site since their google+ profile needs to be connected to your site? Unless it connected, you will not get any author rank benefit? Cheers, Mark
