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

Problems with Google Analytics social tracking
Hi folks, Any GA experts out there available to help with a social tracking problem we've got? In short a client is using a ShareThis plugin, but the data we're seeing in GA doesn't correlate at all with the share counts showing on the plugin. Huge discrepancies in fact. Could do with someone taking a look at the page and seeing what part of the tracking code we need to update/fix. We'll make it worth your while. Please PM me if you can help. Thanks! Matt.

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?

Increasding the number of Tweets & FB Shares
Just asking for advice / strategy on increasing the number of tweets & Facebook shares to a particular domain. We're seriously lacking in this department and I'm not exactly sure how to get started as we're a B2B services company. We're languishing on page 2 of Google where all the other stats look good enough for us to be in the top 5, tweets and FB shares are 1 and 1 respectively. Any advice gratefully received - we also have a small budget set aside for an expert to provide a ranking strategy if anyone's interested. Many thanks in advance, Tony.

Does the value of Twitter/FB shares change depending on the url used?
I have a really hard time wrapping my head around the use rel canonical. I just watched WBF and it brought up a question that I had. I had a situation where some of my pages could be accessed a couple of ways: www.mydomain/question1.php?id=24-keyword-rich-url, or www.mydomain/question1.php?id=24 I used rel canonical to tell the search engines that the keyword rich url was the one to index. Now, we all know that shares on Twitter, FB, etc. can add value to my site's SEO. So, if someone happens to be on the non-keyword-rich url and they click a button to share, do I still get the same seo benefit? Which brings me to a related question...if someone shares your content via a bitly or other shortened domain, is there any difference to the benefit you would get as compared to them sharing the full domain name?
