Google+ & Twitter, what do I post?
-
Hello,
My site is bobweikel.com
What do I post on Google+ and Twitter?
How often?
Can my posts be the same for all 3: facebook, google+, and Twitter
-
I agree; it's open for interpretation. However, each also has their own community behaviors. To repeat the same thing across all three, well, then why would I bother reading G+ if I can just get it with Twitter? Think about the user's perspective/
It may be more worthwhile to read up on social media best practices to better understand the expectations of those social communities so you can tighten your strategy and execution.

Bob,
You are certainly in a tough niche with NLP and tackling items of weight loss. I will say that I agree with what eyepaq says and would add the following items to focus on specific content to share:
- What questions/comments have you made to your coaching clients that make them really think "wow, thanks Bob"
- What are the biggest challenges that your target market faces
- Do you have existing articles/white papers that have been well received? (these are a gold mine for taking out the headlines in your docs and making them updates)
- What are your competitors scared to say? (breaking the norm is a great way to spark conversation)
Hope that helps.

That's some wise advice, eyepaq. Thank you! Let's see if anyone else has anything to add.

Hi,
I would say that's open for debate. In our case we usually post based on the audience and the audience is very different between facebook, twitter and g+.
In a lot of cases people that are following you on twitter there are also present on g+ and/or facebook and posting the same on all 3 will only annoy them.
My best sugestion in this case is to first put focus on what type of people are following you on each channel and then adjust your posting strategy based on that. (what are those people also sharing, what other channels are they following , circeling, likeing and what type of posts are those other accounts are pushing online.
It will take time but it's the safest way to grow.
However in the beggining I would say you will need to drive blind for a while and do trial and error.
You can use aps like Socialbro for example (www.socialbro.com) for Twitter in order to see who is staying, who is leaving and so on - just to adjust your strategy.
best bet in the begining is to see what other similar accounts are sharing and if those accounts are successfully or not.
Hope it helps at least as a pool of ideas.

Will posting an article from my website to LinkedIn mean its duplicate content?
Hi everyone, I'm currently writing my first blog post for my new business, and initially it was intended to be written for my website and then have it shared as a link via Social Media. However, I notice now that LinkedIn allow you to post self written articles to it's website directly and that these are then linked to your profile. My question is if I write my blog post as intended, and then publish it separately to LinkedIn, will search engines see this and think I am duplicating content? If so, roughly how much of the content would I have to change in order to avoid this? Thanks!

Google+ for Business
Google+ has thrown a bit of a monkey wrench into my SEO plans. Over the last few weeks, Google+ listings started showing up in the SERPs for my money keywords. The good news is that once we launch our new site, we have a good chance of getting into the Google+ 7 packs. The bad news is that SEO on a national level just got tougher with the local Google+ listings crowding natural listings down the page. Questions: 1. How does Google+ determine who goes into the 7 pack?
Social Media | | CsmBill
2. Is there always a 7 Pack? Can there only be a 4 pack?
3. I see Google+ listings for companies that don't have a Google+ page. How is that possible?
4. Through my keyword research, I have about 20 keywords that are triggering Google+ listings in the SERPs. Some SERPs are only showing 2-4 G+ listings. Is it safe to assume that this is because no one has put those keywords in their Google+ description, and hasn't optimized for those words on their site?0 -
SEO difference between having a Google+ Brand and Google+ Business page?

Google+ - Is it worth it?
I've been looking at putting some of my companies on Google+ but I've just done some quick research and it doesn't seem like many of our competitors or even any in our industry is on there. I have heard that by having a Google+ presence it will help your organic search ranking. However, I'm not sure how true this is. Is it worth setting up a Google+ page if it's likely that you're not going to get much activity on it?

Regaining Twitter
Our Twitter account had been hijacked by an ex-employee who refused to give it back. However we filed for copyright infringement and got access of our Twitter account back. The sad part is that Twitter could not leep our followers intact and we lost our fan base of over 30k followers. Now that we have control of the account, how should we go about regaining our followers? Just to give the community a better idea i'd like to point out that we are a leading news organization (dawn.com) of Pakistan. (Yes, we have internet and no we don't ride on camels!). We posted a message on our FB account that has an even greater following but didn't get a good response as most followers on FB are local whereas 70% of our readership comes from the US alone! So how would you suggest regaining followers and also, is it better to operate an RSS feed or manually select the links to share on Twitter. Thanks!
