I'm still struggling to understand why the Yahoo groups have so much tonnage of visitors. Habbits die hard! Just ask Bibo.

Michael says: For dynamic sites like Vocabulary Teacher Resources and our wordpress sites. Descriptions and titles can be setup when creating the pages.

Facebook also automatically scans the pages for images to use. However, there is a piece of code we can add to dictate which image it will use per page.

Yup. I got one email asking me why I took a picture of the printer. I've thought of going back to tighten my writing but instead, I told my brother not to be such a smart alek.

2011-01-25T08:18:20.032-08:00

Hmmm. I'm not sure. I think if you consider the idea of following people in order for them to be AWARE of you, then whether or not they follow you back might be not so crucial. It would be LOVELY...but might be unrealistic. Like I say...not completely sure on this one.

2010-10-30T06:17:35.102-07:00

It just seems to me that if I were trying to figure out if something were SPAM, I would look at the site first.

I'd assume that the algorithms had already checked the domain history and all the other databased info and that if a person actually gets involved, they would eyeball the site first.

Of course, maybe I'm reading the recommendation too literally and they mean that private domain registration is built-into the spam algorithm.

2010-10-30T06:03:40.789-07:00

Whenever I ask this question to the self-proclaimed social media experts, I get an absolute blank stare.

After a while, they work up to: "You need to figure out some way to test it and what your priorities are.

Gee, thanks. But surely somebody else has already worked through this problem a few times and has a few suggested guidelines or a case study to work from.

I think it's an effective strategy using FaceBook.As we all know that the more friends we get from it, the more we broadened our community so it's really making business opportunities.

Thanks for sharing this information.

Excellent article, it’s pleasure to read your blog ?I don't really understand what makes a firm claim that they're the best seo company Didn't search engine optimization use to be just a smattering of keywords spread out within loosely interrelated text? I suppose not, since for example I was looking at bergstrom-seo.com, and it described their own special strategy, which made me think of a team of people running around from website to website.

But if web trafficking simply means advertising yourself all over youtube and twitter et al, I don't understand why you'd need to pay a service to do all that for you. Does that mean there are straegies of SEO that generate faster exposure to a website than what you could do yourself? I guess I don't know much about online marketing.

Thank you so much for that nicely written piece of text.I've been working on getting my website up and going for a while now. I like how it's looking but I'm really trying to find some of the top seo companies out there to help me get more traffic. I've heard that this is the way to go so I'm really hoping it works. The one thing I'm not sure about is what to look for in top seo companies I've heard so many things that I'm not sure what the real answer is. I checked out www.bergstrom-seo.com but even there I wasn't 100% sure on what I was looking at. I was hoping that you could give me some good pointers and ideas on what really makes these companies the best in the biz.

(my note on a forum)
I'm struggling to get indepth marketing feel for the impact and potential of the various FB icons that I can put on my different forums, blogs, and websites. Any true gurus out there? Here's the sort of questions that I'm wrestling with.

1. Are these the two basic choices?
Like previously friend) - makes the visitor a fan of OUR Facebook page. Can only be used if the webpage has an associated Facebook page. It's done with an iframe.
Share (previously bookmark) - creates a link to the webpage on the user's profile page. Perhaps preferable for SEO.

2. On this forum (digital point), I see a Facebook icon at the top of most pages which is labelled with just an F, has an alt tag of "Facebook Platform", and which produces a pop-up asking permission to:

Connect Digital Point with Facebook to interact with your friends on this site and to share on Facebook through your Wall and friends' News Feeds.
Bring your friends and info<-------> Publish content to your Wall

What exactly does that do? Is it different than the Vbulletin-Facebook interface that will allow Facebook visitors to register using their FB identity?

3. On each thread in this forum, there is a LIKE button which seems count the number of likes. It didn't seem to post anything in my newsfeed or wall. Is it different than the Like which makes the visitor a friend/fan of the corresponding FB page?

4. Bottom line, I'm trying to update our social media icons across about a dozen sites. I'm probably dropping the bookmark approach with the technorati, stumbleupon, delicious, furl (or was it fark) and moving to:
- FB like icon (when we have a corresponding FB page)
- Tweet this (which means that we'll need a default message tied to each site or tweet icon)
- RSS Feed (for blogs or forums that generate it)
- Google reader - user chooses then to add a link on the homepage or put it in the reader
- share with technorati, stumbleupon, and delicious

Thoughts? Corrections? Gurus?

...and by the way - This is kinda cool, too... The the pop-up menu that appears when you hover over the [More] button customizes itself based on the media buttons we use. It reminds me of the behavior of iGoogle, which sorts search results based on the browsing history and what we've clicked on in the past.

2010-06-30T11:04:59.114-07:00

Lets assume the question is about putting Facebook icons on a NON-Facebook page. I have researched it and found two possibilities:

1- Like (previously friend) - makes the visitor a fan of OUR Facebook page. Can only be used if the webpage has an associated Facebook page. It's done with an iframe.

2 - Share (previously bookmark) - creates a link to the webpage on the user's profile page. Perhaps preferable for SEO. http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?...

2010-06-30T10:41:50.660-07:00

I personally put the "Like" button across all of my website pages and
the "Share" button next to my ReTweet button on my blog posts. You
can see this in action at my website here:
http://windmillnetworking.com.

There really is no one answer for this. You could test some top blogs
in your industry and take a survey on how they do it, or even do an
A/B test and see which does better.

Hope the advice helps...

Best regards,
Neal

2010-06-28T15:57:22.405-07:00

OK, I've been looking around, here's what I've found. On another fancy online marketing site: TopRank:

At the top of each post is a Facebook share icon. At the bottom of each post is a Facebook like icon.
1. Is it possible to have one icon do both? Why or why not?
2. Why do you put share at the top and like at the bottom?
3. Same type of question on twitter, why follow for the site in general but retweet on each post? Actually, the twitter logic makes sense to me.
