Social Signals CONFUSION
-
You know how sharing on social networking sites can act as social signal for ranking but I was wondering that what type of sharing on fb/google + ?
does it has to be our site links all the time or any sharing other than our own site links matters too ?
lets say if we are just discussing something on fb/google+ without our site link does that count too?
social signal is sent only when we share our own sites link on social sites or through any kind of activity on our social fb/google+ page ?
If you want to tell anything else connected with social signal please go ahead ..

Hi Simon, Thanks for your comment. I am very well aware of the things you explained and our social media is doing already great regarding what you said. I was just curious about what I asked in my qn.

In my experience - ANY activity will count! Most important - if you created account that links to your web - treat it like it is your web 2.0 property and you will see results pretty soon
Best,

You need to see it as community building. Don't see social signals as "if I put our link on twitter and get people to RT it it will help rankings"
The idea is to put up quality tweets, interact with your followers and give them information on your company, help them when they have problems and build as sustainable and regularly updated twitter account. Create high quality blogs, put them on facebook / google+ and twitter, If you do this right your followers will talk about you, influencers will retweet / like / +1 and this is how social signals work.
It's fair to say at the moment Google pays more attention to their own social network, Google+, but it isn't as popular as the others at the moment.
The summary is just to be active, put good quality content up on your social networks and interact. Your social signals will follow

Very interesting test on social signals, thoughts?
According to this inforgraphic I found on Unbounce, the most powerful social signal is Google-Plus followers followed by Google-Plus votes. Now these results look amazing, so if this test is correct I need to gather 100 business page followers and a shed load of plus votes and I should see big movement in the SERP's? Thoughts? http://www.tastyplacement.com/wp-content/uploads/testing-social-signals.jpg testing-social-signals.jpg

How does SEOMoz Code its Social Badge on Blog
On the blog section (and most other pages of the site) there is a social badge on the right hand side of the page where it shows the number of followers on Twitter, FB fans, etc. How does SEOMoz pull those numbers? It seems like its not using the normal Javascritps supplied by FB and Twitter, Feedburner. Thanks
