Twitter interactions
-
We would love for some feedback as we're facing an internal dilemma on how to utilize twitter for our business. We are launcing a new travel site that will connect travellers based on their activities and also serve as a booking platform.
One part of our marketing team suggests we make two seperate twitter accounts; one 'formal' that follows a structured guideline in posting relevant material and one for the Social Media manager to reply to people as site official.
The other part suggests we reply and interact using the 'formal' account; no second twitter account needed for interacting.
What would you suggest?

I would agree focus on one twitter account. The only reason you might want a second twitter account is from something like customer service. However very often you will find that this just leads to confusion and customers will mention your marketing twitter account rather than your customer service twitter account. As for the tone of the account that is something that you have to work out on your own. You tone on twitter should reflect your brand. But remember it is a social medium and so generally the tone is more conversational. Hope that this helps.

Thank you for the answer, has anyone else anything to suggest?
-
Maintain the single account. You want to concentrate your efforts into a single location for interaction and max SEO benefit (testing done you naysayers so shush about it not being beneficial)
Studies have show an optimal interaction (tweet) rate is roughly around 4-5 tweets a day. I have a feeling this is because people are sick of seeing what others had for lunch or when they went to the restroom but keep these numbers in mind.
I would suggest a business keep it below 10 tweets a day at max as you are not an individual user.

How Should I Optimise Feature Images for Google+ Interactive Post Snippets?
Hi there, I'm in the middle of optimising my site to create decent sharing snippets to improve the overall experience and quality for visitors. One thing I've come up against though is trying to balance site design with the requirements of schema.org and Google+ I've recently just altered the layout of my site to now visually display a brief post description to go into the Rich Snippet Google+ creates, but the images Look a little bit shorter than what they could be. I'm curious to how I could perhaps serve a dedicated image for the Google+ snippet (a square cropped version of the large feature image that's given to each post) while avoiding forcing all users to load a second image I don't even really want to show. I'm also in the middle of deciding what content to prefill the post text with, I'm thinking about tagging my own Google+ id and maybe using some post relevant hash tags too. Does that sound like a good idea? Thanks for 95e0ec7c46e6e66c0a966089d7805813

Does adding a twitter or facebook feed to a website help rankings in regards of providing fresh content?
I have been asked if this is a sufficient way to provide fresh content to a website, however I am unsure if Google considers this as "fresh content", and I can't seem to come across a clear answer. Any thoughts?

Automated twitter accounts
I have about 100 city-based automated twitter job accounts which tweet jobs as they are posted. 5 of them are indexed, but the rest do not appear in the twitter index. We diagnosed the issue a year ago because all of the accounts were flagged when we tweeted out the same message across all of the accounts. Then I made a couple of account adjustments (follow, unique description and link), and the 5 started indexing. We unfortunately waited a month and tried again, but the same actions did not lead to indexing. So there we are. Anyone have nay other advice for getting these out of the spam penalty box?
