Wordpress Socialize Plugin giving me 400+ 302s. Should I be concerned?
-
Looking at my report and saw I had over 400 302s. When I looked where they came from, it seems it's from a plugin called socialize sending stuff to Facebook.
Does it matter?

Hi Kane,
I just had the same issue as Ioan Said with Twitter and Facebook social login buttons on each article. The content crawl showed that my website has 84 000 links which are 302 links. My concern is that I have only 53 000 links showing 200 response code.
In this case I have a feeling that those 302 might harm my site.
Total website links: 14 1000.
Any Ideas how to deal with this?

Hi there,
302 redirects are only an issue for links pointing to your own site. So, if you have an internal link going through a 302 redirect, that's bad. If you have a link from a blogger who mentioned you're website that is 302ing, that's bad.
If you have links on your website that are sent through a 302 redirect to another website (especially a large one like Facebook), that's not a big deal and can be disregarded.

I think it's always a bad idea to link to a 400 page. So if your site is producing links to these 400 pages then yes, that is a problem. I believe 300s are less troublesome, but if it were my site then I would eliminate as many of them as I could.

My website is quite established.
I just have loads of 302s and the links are all similar to this:
And they all direct to:

It depends from which pages they are coming from. 302 redirects do not pass any link juice to the new URL as Google treats is as "temporary" and not "permanet" (which is 301).
Is your site newly launched? Can you give a bit more information? You might be suffering from a 302 redirect infinite loop

Best reports for competitive social engagement insights? (Moz or not)
My client, in a large industrial sector, is trying to find or purchase good data for their industry as far as benchmarks for social engagement. While the DIY tools have social trackers, many require you to connect to the account you want to measure - so competitive research is a non-starter. What would you use to build a spreadsheet of social engagement metrics from a set of, say, 10 competitors in a niche vertical (e.g. industrial robotics?)

Recommended Social Media Scheduling platforms
I am currently using BufferApp to schedule my social media posts. My scheduling gets messed up at least once per month, where I lose posts or days are skipped, etc. without any changes (and even when I can see the expected schedule). I have used Hootesuite in the past and I like it, but I prefer Buffer when it works. Is there something else that works as good as Buffer used to? Thank you.

Social Signals, do they help? Looking for a solid Yes or No.
Hi, I've read so much lately about social signals and got basically 3 completely different responses. 1. Yes they are going to over take normal link building in 2013 so get on it. 2. Yeah they do help with rankings but not massively, don't focus to much on it. 3. Na they don't help, you need to gain 1000's of signals and even then it will be a short SERP increase and then back down you go. So... What im looking for now is a straight up Yes or No, should you be on social signals now? Should time spent on gaining social signals be increased? If your doing 10% of your time on social should this percent now shift to a larger percentage? Cheers

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

SEO & Social | More SEO effect by liking the page URL rather than the Facebook Page?
SEOMoz Gurus, I am wondering what our best implementation strategy shoul dbe around linking up the Facebook Like button on our pages. Essentially there are two options: A) Linking the button directly to the Facebook Page of the web site so every Like is actually converting into a Facebook "Fan" which can be messaged going forward through our Facebook page. B) Having them like the actual URL which might be more beneficial from an SEO and viral perspective as now a link to the actual URL gets shared on the Liker's facebook wall and it should also be easier to use that lIke for Google & Co. as it's tied to the actual URL not a random Facebook page given that search engines already convert those signals. Both approaches obviously have their benefits. Are there any common guidelines on what is a better approach to take from a pure SEO perspective? Thanks /Thomas
