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.

Add Tracking Parameters to Website Links on Facebook/Twitter
does anyone know of a way to add tracking parameters to facebook/twitter website links in the about us section so that we can understand what traffic is specifically coming from that page? I already add tracking to posts, but I am more trying to track each standard link on these social channels. I am currently running into character limits or the result looks like a long url that will most certainly deter clicks because it looks suspicious.

How to customise twitter feed
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/twitter-feed-exclusion-2_zps1f3c01bb.jpg Hi... the above link explains what I'm trying to do but basically i want to add a twitter feed to a website but be able to exclude certain sites. For example you add a feed to a client and they then ask for you to remove competitor messages. Is this possible? Thanks,

Twitter Tool Question
I've been searching for a tool that will allow me to send mass tweets to multiple @accounts? For example, I use Topsy to see who's shared my content and want to send a follow up tweet to everyone who has, but find it time-consuming to do this manually. What I have in mind is something where I can upload a spreadsheet of Twitter names, write one tweet and for this to be tweeted at everyone on the list. I haven't found what I'm looking for so far. Does anyone know of such a tool?

There are even crossovers most notably in Graphic Design Industry 2 different clients want to engage with Graphic Designers. Would prefer to handel all through my own account but don't want people to think huh SEO guy he just cares about links. Best way forwards seem to be to set up client specific accounts? Any thoughts?

Why aren't social interactions showing any data? It was last week, but now displays nothing? Anyone know why this is?
Hi, As I look through the various accounts I work on I can no longer see any data from the social interaction on Facebook or Twitter. This now means that no data is displayed about growth rate etc. Does anyone know why this is? Thanks, Adam

How much weight do Twitter Lists carry in Google's determination of user influence?
I have come across a number of Twitter users that have 1000+ Followers, and they typically follow 1000+ people. I've noticed as of late that many of these people are found on fewer lists. I also know that many twitter users are selective about who they actually allow in their main twitter stream and therefore create lists to manage who they follow. Any thoughts on if /how twitter lists contribute to a user's authority and/or influence from the SERP's perspective?
