Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Stephen,

Thanks for bringing this up this topic. To set expectations straight, we have borrowed concept from BenTheBodyGuard and have credited them appropriately on website, please see Credits section. There is no attempt to hide this fact. Original creators have done phenomenal job, they deserve due credits.

We used this popular concept to build pre-launch buzz for Indian market. Local flavors are used to appeal to local audience and convey message. True to expectations, concept is indeed getting great reviews.

I recently launched a scrollable web comic at www.shoutout.co.in. In space of 2 days after launch, i got more than 100 likes. While this is great number, i am not sure if this is best usage of options provided by facebook.

Which option is best share/like/share-with-comment option? Currently i only have "like" implementation. Is this giving less probability of visibility to friends than "share-with-comment" option? stats and numbers from your experience/campaigns will help.

I am starting website focused on consumer complaints/reviews with purely User Generated content. Is there really "keyword strategy" for such sites? I can only think of analyzing competition's keywords and understanding long tail http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-big-is-your-long-tail-whiteboard-friday.

Any experiences? Or ideas?

I am expecting answers/views from social SEO experts.

Should i encourage people to "like" my main page of my website OR FB profile page of website? Which one works better and why?

yeah i have checked , there is no message there

Hi ,

I am considering to use Facebook comments on my site . But  i heard that Disqus  is also a good platform for comments.

So i want to know using Disqus    is having an negative impact on SEO ?

Hi I would like to know why the traffic for the website link http://theindustrymeasure.com/2010/07/15/rediffmail-login has dropped suddenly on google.I used to get around 5000 page views on this page and then suddenly dropped to 15-20 . I still get good traffic from yahoo (around 500). Just before the drop I noticed that I started to get spammy trackbacks from Many questionable sources. I have not approved any of these trackbacks. The trackbacks are regular frequency of. 1 per day. is there any action which I can take to ensure that I get back my traffic. Traffic to other links are fine , only this page seems to have dropped off ever since the spam attack. As per seomoz tool I have a grade a for keyword rediffmail

We are a small startup company looking at starting a complaints website in India   having user generated content(complaints) .

Would some one help me to draw overall strategies  on how we can achieve good traffic over one year.  We realise that there is no magic wand to improve positions in search ranking for a site which hosts user generated content esp. since we dont know what key words to target.

In this context i was looking form some expert suggestion on how we can go ahead with the SEO for the next 1 year ..

We are open to paying for the services if you prove that you have the required experience .  Otherwise  any suggestions from other who have experience in such situations  are welcome ...

There have been several reference on how Google is trying to build author profiles  so that it can effectively measure the authors authority based on the Rel=Author.

I quite liked this idea  , but my site is a user generated content website. So how can i leverage this ? . One thing which i was thinking was  if its a good idea to link to the customers Facebook profile , plan to collect this during sign up.

Hello ,

I am launching a new website which would host user generated content . Based on my brandname i have purchased a new domain . In order to improve SEO  rankings i was considering to purchase a good quality domain (have gr8 link backs)  and then perform 301 redirection of the domain to the new brandname.co.in domain .

Does this work ?  Is there any harm in doing this ? . Does the Link juice pass naturally ?

Hi ,

As we all know that social signals like  FB Like and G+ give a boost to the search engine rankings.  I have several pages we have garnerd 100s of FB likes with a 10s of G+ . Now i want to reorganize my site to so that the contents of the blog would be having a different URL . So i have planned for 301 redirections for the older content to the newer ones. But does the FB Like and G+ also move along with the 301 redirection ?  If not whats is the best way to handle this...
