Twitter stats
-
I am trying to increase the position of one of my deeper links (my site.com/targetpage) trying to use twitter to up this page as a new strategy. I have 18 on OSE for my twitter metrics but none on the deeper link (i havent tried yet for this). How do i actually get the a twitter metric score for this deeper link? Does the tweet have to be the actual target page URL? Or is it a twitter share button on the page? Confused how it works.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
Federico is right - there is no good evidence that a large number of tweets directly influences the rankings of a page... it is a good signal, but it is not nearly as directly correlated to rankings as links are.
Definitely not saying that Twitter campaigns are useless: I assume with some confidence that Google analyses content's popularity and spread on Twitter and will have a good grasp on what constitutes real Twitter popularity and what is manipulated or done entirely by spam accounts. This could be used as a signal to indicate a page's current popularity, and on-going success would indicate a good resource. This isn't well studied or proven yet though, so keep that in mind when looking at social metrics from an SEO point of view.

Those metrics show you in fact the times that the URL was twitted. If you publish a tweet with yoursite.com/targetpage then that tweet will count towards that page but not towards yoursite.com
In any case, no one knows the extend of social signals on ranking algorithms... I don't think you are going to get a higher position because you have more tweets... (all those links are nofollow anyway)
FYI: If you put a tweet button on a page, you can "tell" the button which URL you want to tweet or it will use the page where it is placed (same applied for the count that it shows).

I have a list of about 3,000 Twitter followers and would like to segment my followers into separate lists for "emergency preparedness" and "travel." Is there a tool that can help me automate this without reviewing each profile one-by-one?

How do I follow more people on Twitter?
Hi my Moz friends, I like following all of you, a lot! Because I like following you all so much, but not so many of you like following ME, I have been cut off by Twitter and I'm not allowed to follow any more people until I have more people following ME. Sad Face I am sure that more than a few of you have been in this scenario. What should I do? I could dump 10-20 followers but that 's not going to be enough to pacify the Twitter Gods! Thanks guys, Dana

Linking Facebook - Twitter - Website - G+ Profiles
During a spectacular presentation at Seattle Interactive Conference, Rand discussed how Google is able to see linkage between different social networks and a Google profile. Outside of setting up your Twitter feed to send loads of messages to your Facebook fans (or vice versa), is there a best way to communicate the "linkage" between your social media profiles to the search engines? Eg - How do you best signal to Google that your Twitter, Facebook, G+ and your website are from the same entity?

Multiple twitter accounts for Different countries...
Ok, so we currently operate in the UK, Australia, Ireland, Spain and France. Currently we have a different twitter accounts for each Country. This can be difficult to manage as we are going it all from the UK. I can understand that having separate accounts for foreign language countries is perhaps suitable (we have foreign staff tweeting in their native tongue), but my question is this: Is it worth just tweeting all English speaking activity from one account. I mean at the end of the day we are one company, and also our activity in other countries won't effect our followers, in fact wouldn't it just make them realise we are a global brand? What are the advantages and disadvantages of gradually deleting the other accounts and tweeting all English stuff from the one account? Cheers,

Does it make sense to have one facebook/twitter account for multiple websites?
If you have several different websites with related themes, does it make sense to just have a facebook or twitter page for the company to make managing the account more manageable?
