How to coordinate blog, facebook and twitter.
-
I have a small law firm with a website including a blog, as well as accounts with Twitter and FB. I usually write a blog on the website then reference and link to that blog from twitter and FB. I also do short blogs that are basically links to other interesting articles about my field, and link to those as well. Is this helpful or correct from he perspective of SEO for the website? Is there a particular way to do this? I have much to learn so any comments are welcome. Many thanks.

Hey Kevin
From a simple perspective, this is perfect. There are tools that will take your blog post and push it out to twitter and facebook but ideally you want to do this manually so each post can be unique.
If your blog content drives inbound traffic and you can convert these folks to social media this will ensure they see more of your content on a regular basis and will build your reputation and credibility (assuming the content is solid).
Google+ can be interesting as well and your posts referencing your posts can contain a followed link and can themselves get indexed and returned in search results so don't neglect this fledgling network.
If you connect with your customers via LinkedIn you could also post a link to your articles there and again keep yourself in the mind of your clients and prospects all the more.
Ultimately though, it sounds as if you are doing the right thing. Build great content, build a readership, share with social.
Hope that helps.

Facebook Lead Ads to email
I am trying to find the best way to get information from submissions that come from Facebook Lead Ads to be sent straight to email. I believe the way to do this is to configure a CRM. Does anyone know though of a free CRM to use that will enable this to be setup?

Facebook Ads Frequency Setting in Ad Set
Hello Guys, I have something which annoyes me already a long time with FB Ads. When you set up a campaign and an ad set and you have in your ad set 3 different ads (which makes totally sense to test them against each other) facebook is deciding really often way too early which ad might be the best ad. Often the algorithm starts to prefer one ad already after a few hundred impressions and the other ads are not getting any impressions any more. I cannot find an option like in Google Adwords that just all Ads are shown the same amount of times and that I can decide then on my own which ad I prefer to run. Unfortunately I cannot find anywhere an option to disable this 'auto-optimization' and I didn't find anyhting in the web as well. Would be pretty happy if someone can help me with this problem! Thanks!

Facebook and Google+ Not Properly Picked Up
Hello, I have been having issues for some time now getting my Google+ and Facebook activity to show in the social media section of site explorer. Was anyone else having this same issue? I have verified my website to both pages and the Facebook page receives a considerable amount of traffic so it is very confusing to me. Any help is much appreciated. Thank You Steve

I just discovered something about Addthis shares, Twitter, and rel-canonical.
Let's say I have a page on my site with the url www.mydomain.com/page1.php?id=234. Let's say it can be accessed by the url www.mydomain.com/page-this-is-a-keyword-rich-url And let's say that the second example is what I have set as my rel-canonical. I wondered what would happen when people submitted the non-canonical url to twitter. We know that Twitter shares count for something in SEO. I didn't want things to go to waste if people were landing on my short urls and sharing them on Twitter. Well, tonight, I shared one of my own urls on Twitter. I was accidentally on the short one (not the canonical), but when I shared it via addthis the long one was shared. So, Addthis must read the canonical and use this to share. Very cool. At least to me. I may possibly be the only person on the planet that understands what I just wrote, but this is a neat discovery for me.
