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

Should I use FB Share or FB like option?
I am confused between choosing Facebook share and Facebook like options on my website. Like is a one step process but it won't be visible in friend's feed whereas share is 2 step process but is visible in your friend's feed and it reaches more people. Did anyone experiment with these two options and found which works better?

Do you need legal rights to pictures in Facebook posts
When I add an image to a Facebook post (for a FanPage) does it need to be something I own or have credited, or can I use whatever images I like? Is this something that is at all monitored? Thanks!

Good idea to include links in Facebook posts teaser-text?
Hi guys, I'm wondering; is it a good idea (for the engines primaliry) to include links with targeted keywords in facebook posts. From a user perspective I would say it's not desirable. But I'm wondering how Google and co treat links which they find there. They are nofollowed, yes. They are indexed however but when I want google to show me the text-only version of the cached page I receive an 404 error which is odd. Anybody else getting the 404 from google? Eg. clicking on this cache-URL: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:jsC_26QVKbgJ:www.facebook.com/echoonline/posts/156674087731661+site:facebook.com/echoonline&cd=3&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=de&client=firefox-a and then on "text only" leads to this page which does not exist: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/echoonline/posts/156674087731661?_fb_noscript=1 Looking forward to your ideas on this topic.

Facebook likes v fans
Hello, When I look at my site in opensiteexplorer it says my site has 79 Facebook "likes". But actually, it has 4,070. In another part of the PRO dashboard it correctly identifies 4,070 but calls them "fans". I thought if someone hit the "like" button they became "fans". So why is SEOmoz reporting the vastly different figures?

Focus Facebook Likes and +1 to URL or Page?
We are considering adding the +1 and facebook like widget to the footer of all our pages, but we can't decide whether to point them to our URL or to our respective Google Plus / Facebook Page. Ideally, we would prefer poiting them to our pages instead of our site URL, but I'm not so sure if we would get as much SEO advantage that way. I was looking for feedback towards the SEO advantages / disadvantages of this at what strategy you guys use. For example: Having +1 our URL would be shown to their friends at the organic results. Having +1 our page would grow our profile, allowing us to communicate with them and would also enable people search +Duplika at Google (like it happens with big brands). What do you suggest?

What would be a good way to drive traffic to a temporary post - job posting / classified ad?
I was wondering what would be the best way to drive traffic to a posting that will only last 30 days. I didn't think linking would be the answer, but wanted to get opinions. I was thinking pinging and social media (Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter)... What would your strategy be?
