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 Virality Metrics Compared To Open Rates
I'm trying to put Facebook's Virality Metrics in a framework I understand better. In email marketing, if you consistently get 25% to 30% open rates on newsletters, you're doing solid in most industries. What would you all say the equivalent for that is in Facebook Virality? Thanks, Ruben P.S. If it's drastically higher than 4% - 6%, I'm going to be very sad.

Like .vs Share Button - for SEO which is better?
I personally from what I have read believe the share button to be more powerful when it comes to SEO but I don't know for a fact so anyone have any input on this subject? One thing I do know, is it's a lot harder to gain a 'Share' then a 'Like' and im talking about these buttons being onsite maybe in a blog post. If you gained 100 shares and 100 likes which one would generate the best signals? Thanks

Employing Pinterest for SEO gain.
Hi I wanted to see if the SEO team have had any feedback from members who have started to use Pinterest. I've had it for a month or so now and I've been adding pins every day since - (quite addictive actually). What is interesting is the gender element to the people who are following and repinning my pins and boards i.e. female. It would be interesting to understand why this the case, why is it so popular with female users. Ultimately I'm tyring to guage the benefits of employing Pinterest for SEO purposes and whether its worth keeping it in my arsenal of social tools. Any insights welcome. http://pinterest.com/visualizations Best David
