Social media unclarities

Dear community,
I've tried to find the answer in the Q&A but without any succes.
www.facebook.com/onlinedesignmeubel.nl is our facebook page for our webshop. We have 563 likes, but in opensiteexplorer we only have 1 FB like. It is most likely an easy question, but i couldn't find the answer.
My question is how the opensiteexplorer only found 1 like? How does this work exactly?
Best regards,
Martin

Thank you for your responce. Can you stimulate people on clicking on it? Or do they have to do it vai the website? I will try it out anyway, to see if it works.

Hi Martin
The likes in open site explorer show the likes for the root domain, rather than your Facebook page. Therefore, your open site explorer total will only increase if people like that URL. There are a few plugins, such as DiggDigg that can give your users a quick way to do this.
So in short, Open Site Explorer doesn't count Facebook page likes - it counts the actual likes on the URL.
Hope this helps.

Myth or Fact: Social Media Dashboards Bad for SEO?
I want to start using HootSuite to pre-schedule Facebook/Twitter updates, but am plagued by nagging concerns because I have heard that HootSuite may impact SEO in a negative way. Is this truth or bull? If it i true, how so, specifically? And can anything be done to mitigate the negative SEO factors? Also, does anyone prefer another dashboard over HootSuite? Thanks in advance for your inputs!

Social mentions and 301 to new domain
Hi all, I have noticed that when moving to a new domain your normal links will move along with you when you set proper 301 redirects and use google webmaster tools. But I'm under the impression your twitter mentions, fb likes etc. on the different pages will be lost... I'm looking forward to your comments and ideas. Cheers
