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.

Should we add a weekly updated website blog (annotated re-postings) that mirrors our LinkedIn updates?.
We currently add original content to our website every couple of months in the form of long form articles we have guest authored for other reputable sites. We also maintain a LinkedIn company site with weekly updates in the form of annotated newsworthy re-postings. We are thinking of duplicating our LinkedIn update feed on our website as a blog in order to build more traffic and improve SEO. Hopefully the additional frequency of site updates will also help. Again, this additional content will be largely re purposed, with the exception of our value-added annotations. Good idea? Waste of time? Suggested tweaks? Should we link back to the original content source, no-follow, or no link?

Do we expect Google+ to continue being an important ranking signal after its recent changes?
I've noticed that Google Plus seems to have a larger influence on ranking than other social networks, especially for one of our competitors. We haven't started using Google Plus, and I'm wondering if, from an SEO standpoint, it's worth putting energy into after last month's changes. TL;DR: After last month's changes, is Google Plus still an important ranking signal?

Does Google prefer YouTube video's embedded on a site or put in a Pop up image class for SEO purposes
Our company is an eCommerce site for aftermarket automotive accessories, we have been posting videos on our site. On some pages we have videos embedded from Youtube and on other pages the videos are embedded but in a Popup Image Class. Below I'll provide an example of one way we put the popup image class on our site <iframe id="vidf" style="display:none;" width="460" height="320" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/MattCutts?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Now concerning SEO would it be better just to embed a video the traditional way or use the popup image class? The reason I ask is because the popup image class hides the video on the page with an image on top then once you click that image the video pops up. Can Google still crawl/see the video? What would be best practice for SEO?

Duplicate Content issue: Amazon book review & company blog
Can my site be penalized for including a book review verbatim in my blog that I also post on Amazon? What are the steps I need to take? I have written a book review that I want to post on Amazon. I am also planning to create a blog post and include the exact text of the review within the post which I will then also promote on my social channels. What do I need to watch out for in terms of duplicate content? Is there a sequence I should follow? We have the rel=canonical tag on our site which is WordPress.

Will Google maintain its search engine power?
Reading through the SEOmoz threads, and also other forums, I can't help but notice that the majority of material covered is about SEO & SERP, white hat & black hat linking, social media blogs and articles, etc, etc. Everyone trying to scramble to the top of their market via Google. If Google brought out a release saying that hopping down the street naked & having a neighbour googling that you had, for improved SERP ratings, would produce a weird downtown scenario. What I am asking, is this: Does Google have too much power in determining to the world what is correct and what is not as a corporation. And are they and what they have a passing phase, or will they lose their dominance like Microsoft etc through technical change?

Can you have FB Comments post to a business page?
I am looking into incorporating Facebook Comments into my site. When commenting it gives the option to the commentor to post it on their FB wall. Can it be setup to post everyone's comments on my site on our FB business page? I tried to use the commenting tools while logged in as a page, but it said I had to be logged in as a person. If not, how do I get notified someone has commented on my website through FB Comments so I can reply?
