How to autofollow anyone who tweets/retweets my blog?
-
I'm not sure if here is the right place for this Q but since followerwonk is one of the SEOmoz tools, I thought I'd try.
I want to autofollow anyone who tweets or retweets specific URLs (my blog posts on a large blog).
Does anyone know how to do this? They often don't @mention me in the tweets, I just see them all on topsy.
I get 50-100 a day and at the moment have been manually going through and following all those people.
It's been a useful exercise so far to see what types of people are tweeting my stuff, but now it has got super tedious!

IIRC, you can still use Twitter as a trigger, but you can't read what's going on in Twitter to start something off. Basically, you can do the "that" part, but not the "this"!

Oh, I heard that too, but they still list it? Thought they might have added it back?

My first thought too, but unfortunately IFTTT removed its Twitter integration awhile back.
You can still pull twitter RSS feeds and set up IFTTT alerts, but it wouldn't help with the automation part, as it can't access the Twitter platform any more. Furthermore, I think Topsy provides a clean way of showing who has been mentioning your handle.

I believe this could be an answer to your question -
If this, then that automation engine that allows you to set up action based on channel triggers

How can I find the most liked, tweeted, and +1'd URLs on a domain?
As part of a content audit, I'd like to identify the most popular content on a domain. I've tried Google Spreadsheets + API's from the services, but the call limits have stopped me as I can only check 50 URLs at a time. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this? I can get the list of all pages on the site with Screaming Frog, but then how do I find metrics on those URLs? Any tips or tools would be appreciated!

Your tips on giveaways/competitions.
Hi guys i would like to hear what your tips are on keeping the "professional" competition enterers from flooding your facebook competitions and how you attract quality entries. I've noticed by looking at entry profiles on Facebook roughly 90% of entries i'm receiving are the "stay-at-home-mom-self-proclaimed-professional-competition-enterer" that do nothing other than enter competitions all day...every day. Are they still of any value in your opinion? (other than driving traffic to your site etc) Ciao, Immanuel.

Do Your Social Metrics Such As Tweets Transfer With a 301?
Got asked this today, and I don't know the answer, so throwing it out there to all your mozzers! If I 301 redirect a page that has built up a lot of tweets, likes, shares, even +1's, does that social data get transferred over to the new page in as far as social strength/ authority is concerned? Would Google still be able to see the previous version of this page had x amount of tweets etc, and take this into consideration when ranking the new page?

SEO w/o Social Webinair experiment - how can RTs of a URL of a google search possibly affect the position of one of the search results?
I missed the webinair but have just been going through the slides. Looking forward to watching the video when its up. I have a question however regarding the experiment conducted by Rand to find out: Is Social Influencing Primary Algorithms (slides 7 - 20) The suggestion is that an RT of a google search URL affects the ranking of one individual ranking site. The +1 side of the experiment I understand completely - it is clear how Google can see that there is a social preference for the site and reward accordingly. But how would retweeting the search result URL possibly affect its rankings? Is the suggestion that those doing the experiment also clicked on the relevant link? And if so, how is Google discerning that this additional traffic is down to Twitter? I feel I am missing something incredibly obvious. Anyone want to help me out here?... otherwise I'm not going to sleep tonight...

What Social Media Buttons/Links When & Where?
Our web development team members are having a debate on when and where to add various social media buttons / links. The crux of the debate is when does adding various calls to social media services become detrimental to page load time. We have really been focusing recently on optimizing page load speed using YSlow and Google Page Speed tools to tweak templates and pages as much as possible. Our webmaster argues that we should be selective on what pages we add Google+, Facebook LIKE, Twitter/Follow buttons. e.g. just 'important' pages such as the home page. Here is a forum link that speaks of this... http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4358033.htm Bottom line? What are your thoughts on when and where to place various social media buttons and links for Google+, Facebook LIKE and Twitter/Follow. Thanks,

Roy McClean P.S. We have pretty much agreed to use AddThis button set on our clients' blog pages that includes FB LIKE and SEND, Google+, Twitter and the AddThis general share buttons.1 -
