Blog Sharing Options
-
We are currently evaluating a long list of blog promotion and sharing ideas for our website and wanted to ask some of the resident experts here. We post all of our blogs on our Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ pages, but would you suggest using any of these services for an internet marketing company? What would be the main purpose to using them?
- StumbleUpon
- Technorati
- Digg
- Tumblr
- Delicious
- Any missing from the list?
Is there a list of great sites to ping through WordPress? I saw they provided a list on the http://codex.wordpress.org/Update_Services page. Is this good to use? Do we need to create accounts at all of those services first? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-
The question should be not: "What services should I ping?", but what "Social" are the correct for me?
Because, even if they don't look like Twitter or Facebook, all the sites you cited are Social.
So, is it justified for you to share your content in those sites? Is your audience there?
If yes, do it. If not, don't waste your time.
-
Thank you very much for your response. We are essentially just submitting links to each of the blog posts that we write and then it will send people back to our blog, correct? Also, is it worth sending a ping to all of those services, especially if you are not indexed in their services?

would you suggest using any of these services for an internet marketing company?
Yes, for sure.What would be the main purpose to using them?
Why, Social media provide the direct opportunity to reach the target audience. The medium or which site to use depending on niche. If not all but many of your clients will surely be using Twitter and facebook. The question is how to reach them.
The sites you mentioned in the list are all big Social bookmarking sites and it is always good to share your great/unique content in these sites especially one i personally recommend is Reddit.
Is there a list of great sites to ping through WordPress?
Ping sites are for fast indexing of your content.You make changes in content or added new content.Use this ping service to make search engines that you make the changes and its ready for indexing. come and crawl the site again please.
I suggest you use Google webmaster fetch and index option for better and fast indexing.

Trying to find a WP application (that does not require a FB application) that synchronizes website blog posts with a company facebook page
I'm not a developer and it's been about 5 years since I helped a client synchronize their wordpress blog posts with their FB page. I remember it being much simpler to do this in the past. However recently I'm noticing that all of the WP auto post applications require a Facebook application to get the synchronization to function properly.

Facebook Likes When Sharing
Company A Someone shares a post from Company B on their Facebook page. The post generated 1000 likes and 300 shares. Only a small percentage of likes show up for Company B's page. Why does Company B's page not receive all the likes or at least a higher percentage for that post?

Ghostwriting, blogging, and rel=author
Do you think it's unethical to use ghostwriting on a company's blog? Specifically, I mean hiring a writer to create content for the blog, and then publishing the content under, say, the CEO's name and using rel=author to tie it to the CEO's social identity. Does that undermine the whole idea of AuthorRank? Is it gaming the system?

Website Competiton - sharing the entry on social media
Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you could help me with this. Basically one of our clients will host a competition on their website soon. Once a visitor completed the entry form I would like to have social media buttons on that page that automatically place text into your social media account if you chose to "share" or "tweet" your entry. For example it could automatically place "I have just entered to win .... You should try it out as well!" into the twitter or Facebook posting field. I have tried looking around, but honestly I am not sure what the look for. How could this be achieved or what it is called? Thank you

Incentivisation Strategies for Social Sharing of Product Pages
Hey, What are some great tips for gaining social shares on ecommerce product or category pages? I understand great images and video will go along way, but it's difficult on a large scale ecommerce store. Receiving an offer for sharing something is great - I honestly cant think of a way to track this strategy in a large scale manner. I can send an email after a purchase making an offer to go back to the page to share, but how would I track this? Thanks.
