Increasding the number of Tweets & FB Shares
-
Just asking for advice / strategy on increasing the number of tweets & Facebook shares to a particular domain.
We're seriously lacking in this department and I'm not exactly sure how to get started as we're a B2B services company.
We're languishing on page 2 of Google where all the other stats look good enough for us to be in the top 5, tweets and FB shares are 1 and 1 respectively.
Any advice gratefully received - we also have a small budget set aside for an expert to provide a ranking strategy if anyone's interested.
Many thanks in advance,
Tony.

Hi Tony,
I had a very quick look at your site. Content ideas etc. from below are good.
One of the easiest ways to increase this aspect is to make it easy to Tweet / Share. Can you bring AddThis or similar Share services into the design of the site? If people can see these on the site it is easy for them to share. I increased Shares of a TV Advert by 10 times by including this feature (video been on the site for 2 years, one year of which with AddThis).
I hope this helps.
Regards
Geoff

Totally agree with EGOL. Here's my 2 cents to that: Simply ASK your customers, what they want you to write about
Start a mini-survey and let your customers openly discuss your content. Ask them if there's something particular that they don't like about your content. Also ask them on how often you should write something. Sometimes you'd be amazed to hear that your customers either want more or less from you.If users get what they want when they want it, they are more probable to retweet it Even though that may not sound very new to you, it is most often neglected when creating content.

Some tips to increase B2B tweets.
-
Make a blog on the domain, create good content which suppliers and friends will want to share.
-
Contact suppliers about your content see if they will tweet things on their accounts.
-
Make a document for B2B suppliers to download, to download the content they must tweet first.
-
Make corporate video and link it via FB shares.
-
-
If you want tweeted then place something on your site that is highly tweetable.
If you want shared them do something that people will want to tell their friends.
Funny content, free stuff, a great video, a news article are examples of things that people tweet about. What can you do?

How can I find the most liked, tweeted, and +1'd URLs on a domain?
As part of a content audit, I'd like to identify the most popular content on a domain. I've tried Google Spreadsheets + API's from the services, but the call limits have stopped me as I can only check 50 URLs at a time. Does anyone have any tips on how to do this? I can get the list of all pages on the site with Screaming Frog, but then how do I find metrics on those URLs? Any tips or tools would be appreciated!

Blog Sharing Options
We are currently evaluating a long list of blog promotion and sharing ideas for our website and wanted to ask some of the resident experts here. We post all of our blogs on our Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ pages, but would you suggest using any of these services for an internet marketing company? What would be the main purpose to using them? StumbleUpon Technorati Digg Reddit Tumblr Delicious Any missing from the list? Is there a list of great sites to ping through WordPress? I saw they provided a list on the http://codex.wordpress.org/Update_Services page. Is this good to use? Do we need to create accounts at all of those services first? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using BUFFER in Social Sharing
Hello everyone, I am inclining to use a platform from which to post my social content. I use mainly facebook, twitter, linked in, google +. I used Hoot, but found it difficult to include Linked In, and several other social media sites. Somebody has experience using BUFFER? Ive read about it, and it seems great! Would you recommend it? Thanks for your comments,

Number of Facebook likes and shares for a webpage went significantly down.
I noticed that a bunch of "likes" and "shares" had gone down for a webpage I do marketing for, and I wanted to see if anyone had also experienced this. About two years ago, I realized that when I would send a FB message with a link to a webpage I was promoting, the number of shares and likes for the page would go up by one. So, thinking that I had stumbled onto something incredible, I proceeded to message over 500 people on facebook with a link to the webpage. Soon enough, I had increased the likes and shares displayed on the webpage to 635 (as shown in the Digg Digg plugin). Today, I went back to the same page and realized the number of shares and likes had gone down to 160. Has anyone experienced a drop in the number of shares and likes, and has anyone increased their likes and shares by sending a message with a link to a webpage being marketed? (You can test this out by messaging someone in facebook with a single link to webpage that displays the number of facebook "likes" and "shares" -Once you send the message the number should go up by one) Thanks

Is it better to tweet as an individual or a company?
When using Twitter to generate interest in company blog posts, is it better to do it on a company account like @AcmeWidgets or a personal account like @JoeSmith, the owner of Acme Widgets?
