Tracking FB views
-
This is somewhat off-topic, but this seems like a good place to ask.
Has anyone used a script/code/3rd party service that allows you to track who has viewed your profile?
-
Such a script/app is against the facebook terms of service. At https://www.facebook.com/help/210896588933875/ FB states:
Can I know who’s looking at my timeline or how often it’s being viewed?
No, Facebook doesn't let you track who views your timeline or your posts (ex: your photos). Third party apps also can't provide this functionality.
If you come across an app that claims to offer this ability, please report the app.

I am talking about a personal Facebook page. Is there a way to know who has viewed your profile? Any analytics available for persona FB pages?
I know FB does not allow Javascript or GA tracking, but I have read there are ways around it.
Thanks for the help.

PS if you are asking about SEOmoz You didn't specify so I don't believe that is something that they will allow however you are welcome to ask the staff e-mail you the analytics reports on your profile. I doubt don't share that but they might. Once not under view a week or month again you can make any link trackable so where it's accessed matters
your affiliate code would be something that gives your information
-
you can of course mix that with http://sendible.com/ to make a great platform.
If you're asking if you can tell if somebody has looked at your twitter profile I don't believe so that's proprietary to twitter. If you are asking about Facebook no I'm going to say again I don't believe so unless they click a link or do something else or you make the link trackable to access it which you can do with the 1st software I gave you.
You will also not be happy with Google plus as they will not tell you in addition I believe only LinkedIn is the one that spills beans.
However if you have awe.sm link for your twitter profile on your site you will know exactly how many times it's been pushed.
Hope I have helped,
Tom

Absolutely my favorite social media tracking tool and the best as far as making domains that are Twitter friendly shareable and your own.
http://Totally.awe.sm is the website if you want to purchase a domain that is 3 or 4 letters and matches your brand I would suggest domainr.com as it will find the domain you're looking for.

Namecheap is currently having a sale on .PW I saw this 3 days ago so please don't hold me accountable if it's not still for sale however it was only $3 a domain. Regardless SEOMoz pro perks allows us to purchase domains for $5 from name cheap you can find that at the bottom of the page.
Totally.awe.sm integrates with kiss metrics, mix panel, and of course Google analytics you will see all know all and be like Yoda to on twitter.
I hope I have been of help,
Thomas

Should I use FB Share or FB like option?
I am confused between choosing Facebook share and Facebook like options on my website. Like is a one step process but it won't be visible in friend's feed whereas share is 2 step process but is visible in your friend's feed and it reaches more people. Did anyone experiment with these two options and found which works better?

Promoting several posts on FB increases the reach for all posts
My FB page has a reach for 3000-5000 views. I promoted several posts and got 40 000-60 000 views per promoted post. An interesting thing that now when I post on my FB page I got 5000-8000 reach without promoting? Have you similar experience?

Is Moz really able to track G+ properly
Hi, I have invested a good deal of time building a G+ community, from nothing to 137 (as of today) We post regular good quality mini blogs and images. We interact with communities and link back to our our own blog. We don't sell on it, it 100% user friendly content. I am getting 10 or so shares per post and 20 or so likes 2-3 times week. My questions are this: Why can't Moz track page views or post activities for posts on different communities? With all this work we still not able to fully intergrate G+ into our Moz view of the world Thanks James

Blog posts to G+ and FB?
Hi, I was wondering if we should be taking our blog posts and also putting them on social sites as well such as G+ and FB? If so, does content need to change to avoid a duplicate issue and if so is there a "rule" of sorts in terms of how much to change the content up? I was just wondering since we are already taking the time to put together these "stories" on our blog if our other channels would benefit as well?

What metrics does the fb:admins Facebook Open Graph tag actually provide?
I'm considering implementing the "fb:admins" Open Graph tag on our website to provide our social media team with additional analytics. We already have the other standard OG tags in place. My question is twofold: Can you use a Facebook Page ID rather than an individual user's account ID? What data, specifically, will this tag provide? Our site already has an official Facebook Page and I'm curious whether this tag would make any NEW information available, outside of what we can already get within the Page Insights. I would love to see a screencap if anyone has it implemented! Facebook outlines the tag usage here, but it's not exceedingly helpful: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/insights/ Thanks guys!

How to track the performance of my guest blog posts?
I am doing some guest blog posting.and I want to measure how successful my effort was: when deciding the value of the links from the article Does google take into account how many times the article is read? Because some people do not bother taking further actions (like/share/clicks) even they like it. how do you guys check the amount of reader of those articles? I can't track this article views through analytics obviousely. On the other hand let say the article create valuable info to the readers (many people read it) but no likes/shares/bookmarks would this still be a successful article marketing?

How do I track my Facebook page rank?
Hey guys, Probably a newbie question, but I'm wondering if there's a way to track Facebook (or other offsite profiles that I own) pagerank along with my domain? I'm working on a project right now where I noticed we're not on the front page for our search term, but our Facebook page is. It would just be helpful to have that info for a more complete SEO picture. Thanks!
