Best strategy for optimizing Facebook annotations in Bing & Yahoo
-
My website has a page on Facebook with around 32K connections, these are not showing up in Bing's serp annotations because Bing is not associating my page with the website. Unsure why because I have closed loop links and used their Page Like Box to generate those 32K connections. I have Facebook insights and Bing webmaster tools authorized for the domain
Does anyone know how I can ensure Bing makes that connection?
If that's not possible, would it be more advantageous to drive likes to my sitewide domain or specific pages?
My testing on Bing suggests the domain level like is most likely to trigger annotations, even for deeper pages with no specific likes.

I've been testing a few solutions, but nothing has changed yet. It may be an issue of Bing's index and timing still, so I'll wait a few more days before trying something new.
- My facebook page id was correct in the open graph meta tags, however the URL linter said it was displaying twice.
- On another website I own, Bing properly attributes my fan page, without any open graph mention of the page id. Assuming it just follows the links that reciprocate.
- So, I've dropped the page id from my problem site to see if bing can make the connection on her own.

Facebook and SEO
Hello, recently we've noticed my companies Facebook page (www.facebook.com/dishcostsless) is not being crawled by Google. When you type in DISH Costs Less Facebook it does not show up, even when you type in the exact URL there are no search results. We used screaming frog to check out the back end of the page and there are no meta tags like there are on most FB pages. Also we noticed there were two re-directs; one from the http page to the https page, and the other directed the https page to the http page creating one giant cycle. We think this has something to do with the problem but not sure. Is there anyone who has had a similar issue, and how did you fix it? We'd love to be assured that the search engines are tracking our interactions on Facebook for SEO purposes.

Help with Brands Facebook page
Hi Guys I desperately need help on this one.......I have taken over the management of a Brand's facebook page and have some concerns as to how it was setup. The account was opened by an individual that has a personal account but they did not open the brands page from their personal account...instead they used a slightly different email address and opened a new page business account. I am not able to comment on any comments on this account and i am assuming it was as a result that there is no "profile" (not sure). Should i go ahead and create the profile with the details of someone at the brand? or how should i proceed to rectify this......am i not able to comment as a result of not having a profile?? help! UpDate: The comment issue has been resolved and it seemed to be browser / firewall related...never happened before...very strange
