Facebook Comment Notifications
-
I setup Facebook comments on my site using the iframe setup. I thought FB would notify me whenever someone comments on my website, but that is not the case. Now people are commenting and I would have to look through hundreds of pages on my site to reply to their questions.
I searched the web on how to do this, but I am lost when looking at the steps. Can anyone help provide clear instructions on how to notify me of my website comments on my FB page or by email?

Any time, keep on rocking and thanks for the link.

Thanks for the help. It is greatly appreciated!
I have hundreds of dynamically created pages that I am hoping will benefit from more unique content. Here is an example page: http://www.jwsuretybonds.com/surety-bonds/surety_bond.php?bond_form_id=626&bond_type_id=320
I'll reply here when I know more about the impact.
I searched all over for how to properly hide the output of the FB script, but can't find anything that is guaranteed white hat.

Great, im happy you got it working. Sure, keep it white hat. i would have a look on the Facebook Forums, im sure there are many developers out there with the same issue.
Please keep me updated. Im curious to see how this impacts your traffic.

I implemented the subscribe script at: http://www.jwsuretybonds.com/surety-bonds/commercial-bonds/auto_dealer_bond.htm
Unfortunately, the FB php script displays the text and I am not sure the white hat way to hide it from the browsers since they already see the commments in the iframe.
I also found that FB has a variable for 'send_notification_uid', which you can loust your user id to be notified. I implemented both for now and will see which is better.

Any news? If this helped then please mark this answered for me

basically you will need to add this, making the notify value true, hope this works.
3 down vote acceptedAdd the notify="true" attribute to the fb:comments tag.
FB.Event.subscribe('comment.create', function(response)
{
alert(response);
}| | |

Awesome! I integrated the meta tag so the comments appear in the "Comment Moderation Tool". I COULD just check on that daily, but it looks like it can notify me further. Here is what the documentation says...
How do I know when someone comments on my site?
You can subscribe to the 'comment.create' and 'comment.remove' events through FB.Event.subscribe.
Any idea on how to "subscribe" to something?

Ok cool. From the research i did a while ago i found out that this feature was removed from the API.
I cam across this thread which says admins can moderate comments made on their sites, thus i assume you can view comments / get notified before they are publish.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/
Look at the section that says Moderation Tools
Pleas let me know if this helped or not.

A regular html/css site using the FB iframe plugin. Here is an example page of our site using the plugin: http://www.jwsuretybonds.com/surety-bonds/commercial-bonds/auto_dealer_bond.htm

What type of website are you running? The Facebook Comment, is this running via a plugin or a custom api?

Facebook Share Percentage - On Blog Posts
Hi everyone, I'm trying to find a way to give each post we are creating a quality status. Since bounce rate on this case isn't really a viable option (Blog Behavior) since people could stay 10 mins reading it and then go elsewhere without interacting. I'm looking for a way to focus on facebook sharing, lets say something simple like "Facebook Shares / Sessions" per each blog post, while I can have an idea on my own data, lets say my highest is 4.1% of all people that go to that post end it up sharing it. But I wonder on average what would you consider a good engagement post, what would that percentage might be? Thanks in advance.

Where do the Facebook star ratings come from?
I have a client whose FB page has a 5 star rating (apparently from 5 reviews) but I have no clue from where they are aggregated? I tried Google-ing for answers with no luck! Any idea? This is the page I am referring to... https://www.facebook.com/pages/Partners-in-Womens-Health-of-Jupiter-LLC/310303442400699?bookmark_t=page

Does adding a twitter or facebook feed to a website help rankings in regards of providing fresh content?
I have been asked if this is a sufficient way to provide fresh content to a website, however I am unsure if Google considers this as "fresh content", and I can't seem to come across a clear answer. Any thoughts?

Facebook sharing and referral links. Is there a happy medium?
We have a website with a large member base where users share content a lot. But the SEO problem I have, is that every share needs to reflect a "referral link" so that if a new user signs up, the original sharer receives "referral" credit for that sign up. I really want to be able to take advantage of our huge member base and their sharing, but I'm finding it difficult to do so because each user shares a link that has their referral in it. Can anyone think of an SEO friendly method of sharing that both gives our site SEO benefits, as well as providing the referral credit back to the user?

Do facebook likes have a direct impact on SERPS?
If a post on my site receives a lot of facebook 'likes' does that have a direct impact on the rankings for that post? I notice SEO Moz track them so I guess they must be pretty significant. Also if someone visits my facebook page and 'likes' for example a link to an article on my site does that have an impact on SERPS? I can see that 'liking' something is a vote of confidence or a trust signal that google could use but I would imagine that if someone actually shares my content on their facebook page that would be much more valuable than a 'like'? If facebook is important to SEO then is it worth setting up facebook ads to get my facebook page in front of an audience so that I can build 'likes'?

Facebook: How do you post to a brand's page, as your own brand page?
Eg, if you are an administrator of "Funco" which has a FB page, how do you post on the wall of "Followerwonk" as "Funco", not your personal FB account?

Does promoting a new page on twitter/facebook help it get indexed faster?
I know this probably won't matter much to people who get crawled on a regular basis, but for those of us who don't, does promoting a new page on social media help it get indexed faster with google? My site rarely gets crawled, but I've recently been adding new content. When I add new content I started to promote it on facebook/twitter and I do get minimal traffic from it. I noticed that a couple of the pages seem to be indexing quicker than pages normally do for me, although I'm not sure if it's because I recently migrated to WP or what..? I know T/FB are no follow sites, but is there a chance that promoting a page may contribute to the pages getting indexed? Thanks for any insight you can shed on the matter. It's more for curiosities sake than anything else. Pete S.

Facebook Like on URLs
I have a doubt regarding the facebook LIKES for URLs Case 1: By using a Facebook Like Button (for URL) on my page(s). Here people are coming to my page and giving like directly on my page. Case 2: Here i'm not using any Facebook Like plugins on page, But my page got shared on facebook pages and profiles. And people are giving likes on facebook.com for my shared links. Is this two count as different methods? Explain me please.
