Is it possible to see who have liked your blog post ?
-
I was wondering if you have a like button on the blog and people use it to like a post , is it possible to find out who all have liked the post ? ( there is a counter to show the number of people who have liked the post, but could not figure out who have actually clicked the like button )

No, it's not possible for a user to see who has made thumbs up and thumbs down.
There was an interesting discussion about thumbs down on Twitter the other day. Rand said (and I agree) that it does help minimize some flame wars, especially in the comments. Rather than a ton of people saying "that's stupid" or "I can't believe you said that", a thumbs down is a way of more politely expressing disagreement.
I agree, it's never fun to see something you've written have a thumbs down and have no idea why.

Off topic, but a number of youtube negative clicks may be accidental as they have the buttons so small and close together

Is it possible to see who have liked your blog post ?
If only.....
Because the next question is who disliked your blog (or Q&A) response. I had this thought just today. I read a fantastic blog article from Cyrus: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/blog-design-for-seo. This article was everything a fantastic article should be: informative, helpful, thought-provoking, insightful (I'll stop the adjectives here) and overall kick-ass. It even included a world-class infographic.
115 thumbs up, 4 thumbs down. I have absolutely no problem with anyone offering a thumbs down. I just wish they left a comment offering ANY feedback as to what they disliked about the article. Maybe it was a misclick? Maybe they disagreed with one of the 15 points. Maybe anything, but by sharing feedback it would save the author and other readers from wondering what might be wrong and offer the author an opportunity to improve next time.
I run into this same feeling when I watch awesome youtube videos like this one (Bon Jovi + Jennifer Nettles sing You Cant Go Home as they volunteer and help Habitat for Humanity build a house for a family): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CeX5VEo10c. There always seems to be that 1% of people who click thumbs down.
Some people have road-rage, I have evaluation rage. When that 1% thumbs down and don't leave any feedback I just want to.....
Oh well, this reply will probably receive the most thumbs down of any I ever offered, but I can at least laugh about it

Facebook Likes, What are your thoughts on people begging for them?
Hi There, I'm seeing more and more businesses (especially small businesses) setting up Facebook pages and then almost begging people to like them with lines such as "lets see if we can get to 200 likes", etc etc. What are your thoughts on this does it really help and do you think Google will find a way to not count them as spammy?

How to track the performance of my guest blog posts?
I am doing some guest blog posting.and I want to measure how successful my effort was: when deciding the value of the links from the article Does google take into account how many times the article is read? Because some people do not bother taking further actions (like/share/clicks) even they like it. how do you guys check the amount of reader of those articles? I can't track this article views through analytics obviousely. On the other hand let say the article create valuable info to the readers (many people read it) but no likes/shares/bookmarks would this still be a successful article marketing?

Facebooking and Liking - Whis is best SEO practice for Rankings
Hi everyone! , i am a rookie with SEO. I have a very specific question for which i would love to hear your opinions on this. I have a facebook fan page about my company. We try to post quality stuff in regard to the industry we are in. However, we are social people, and i have seen improvements whenever we post more "social" topics such as TGIF, Photos, DIY themes. My question is (Actually two questions) : Is there a direct correlation or metric between rankings and "likes", the size of your facebook community ? If so, which has more power or effect on rankings. Facebook Likes generated from your website , or General Likes of posts within your existing community. Hope to hear from ya! Every advice is good advice. Regards Jesus D Aceromart

Google 'Author' tag question (Guest Blogging)
Hi, It seems like im seeing more and more about the Author tag, its now in Webmaster Tools and Google+. If your guest blogging, is it a good idea to include the Author link back to your Google+ account? If your Google+ account is also connected to your website and Google confirms they can see the connection does the Author links help with ranking when you push them back to the connected Google+ account?

Roundup of Facebook Share & Facebook Like. Which one is better for SEO?
There doesn't seem to be clear cut advice / data on whether Facebook Share or Facebook Like is more valuable from an SEO standpoint. So I'm asking you SEOmoz fans have you come across conclusive evidence or have your own sites / testes proven that one is stronger than the other.

Best place to have blog reside
So... I have a fairly new wordpress blog at myblog.com, but the ultimate goal is to drive traffic and increase rankings for mysite.com. With the rise of twitter/facebook influences do you think best to migrate the blog to a directory within www.mysite.com aka www.mysite.com/blog and then 301 direct all the existing pages to the new pages created or is it better to keep the 2 domains seperate and then just have links in the navigation of both sites to each other? My initial thoughts are to incorporate it within www.mysite.com/blog but not 100% sure? Quick follow up question.. Is there an easy code snipit to add to the .htaccss file to 301 direct myblog.com to mysite.com/blog? Thanks for any help and thought on this! John
