Are you doing SEO on Twiiter and Facebook pages?
-
Seems to be a thought process emerging (CALL THE MEDIA!) that twiiter and facebook are having through various different paths a real ranking effect. Is anyone now doing SEO on a clients Social media page because of this. I know they are no follow. I am not sure they don't pass juice.

Thanks James, Excellent response.
Are you or anyone else actually building back links to the social media page?

Hi,
I think it is evident that many companies in the market are providing best practice for Twitter and Facebook SEO, you show clients how to use these properties effectively to aid SEO.
I mean Twitter can be used for not only link building yet also link prospecting.
Facebook is a bit more difficult for optimization yet you can acquire a keyword rich URL and optimize specific sections of your Facebook profile such as Info/About me which is crawled by Google. You can also do thinks like optimize Facebook comments boxes to AID SEO.
In the end it is not so much about passing juice it is about creating buzz to aid link bait, PR, create noise, I also feel that Twitter has great SEO benefit. Yet you can be still smart with Facebook pages to aid SEO.
Regards,
James Norquay

Facebook Likes count and site migration to HTTPS
Hi everyone, We are currently migrating our website to HTTPS and, in the process, have read lots of different things about what happens to the social share counts afterward. My primary question is about the Facebook "Likes" count that is displayed on a website's Facebook page - does anything happen to that data when a website switches to HTTPS? My hope is that this data would not suffer at all, but I wanted to pose the question, because i can't seem to find info about that. Thank you in advance for your help! Eric

Is it important for SEO that YouTube and Google + be used under the same Google Account?
Hello - I have a client that has their Google Plus and YouTube under separate Google accounts. My thoughts are that it'd be best for SEO and awareness with Google that their active YouTube channel to be under their active Google Plus account. My question is: Is it recommended for SEO that we upload the videos to her prominent Google business account (they only have about 100 subscribers)? If we did this we would delete them from the other account to avoid dup. content. We are in a position where we can make this change easily if it is recommended and good for SEO--which I would think it would be. So we would like to know now if we should make this change before we grow the YouTube channel further, or if we should leave it how it is. Any insight would be very helpful! Thank you!

Extremely useful facebook app. Which is it ?
Hi, Just noticed what to me and our ecomm site seemed like an extremely useful way of advertizing on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/?sk=lf#!/lindexnorge . At the time of writing its the 2nd one on this facebook site. This which I assume is an app gives in this case 30% off on dress of your own choosing. Clicking the box sends you an email from facebook with info. It specifies in pop up after clicking that your mail adress has not been shared with the ecom site. There is also a smaller line on bottom were default is to share this with your friends on facebook. You have to change this in order not to. Within 24 hours this one is up to 20k uses and that is quite a lot in a small country like norway. Anyone understand which app this is or how it can be done ? Dan Lærum

Facebook Fan Page Title
I am creating a new fan page for my company. The page will definitely begin with my brand name. Is it a good idea to add keywords after the brand name (3-4 word short description of what the brand is) or is it better to keep the name just the brand? Thanks!
