What social would be good, what buttons to use
-
Hello,
What social media do you recommend for
nlpca(dot)com
and what kind of buttons convert best for a site like that?
We're working on facebook right now:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-NLP-Coaching-Institute-of-California/187804434598142
So far I like the buttons on the top right of this site: weddingmountain(dot)com.
Thanks!

Currently you have a share Facebook button, however a "like" is much easier for the user (just one click) and still shows up in the user's timeline. I'd suggest changing that to just a "like" button. It wouldn't hurt to have a link to your facebook page as well.
Since your page is so new, I'd ask all your friends and family to like your page so that it looks like it has a few more interested people.
I also agree with Phillip that you'll probably need to test what works best for you. There is no magic number or formula when it comes to placing social buttons.
Hope this helps!

Let's focus on facebook. Do you suggest that we just put the basic 'like' button up for now?

It's nlpca (with an L) not nipca (with an i) I think is why you oculdn't see the site. It shows up fine on this end.

You're probably going to need to test to get the answers to these questions. Those buttons on weddingmountain look good, but that's because they fit into the theme of the site so well. Once you have a theme set up you can find buttons that match, and then you can play with placement to see what works for you.
Also, nipca doesn't seem to be a site yet.... I got the default GoDaddy page when I visited it.

Social media signals and their roles in Google rankings
Hello, I keep on hearing that social media signals have a role in the way Google ranks pages and sites, but for now, I haven't seen any hard evidence of that. Like any other company, we have pages on facebook, linkedin, google plus and twitter, to which we post daily. No, there are no clients coming in from social media, so I was wondering if it's worth investing time in adding every day updates, unless those count in ranking on Google. What do you think, is there a link between social media and Google rankings, and how much does this weight in ranking my sites? Thank you

Manual submission vs automated submission to social bookmarking sites for blog posts
Howdy Mozzers! Say we're creating great content on our blog and would like this content to be seen and shared by as many people possible. Should we submit our blog posts manually to social book marking sites or use an automated service like Only Wire? The advantage of using automation is obvious, saves time on submission. Are there disadvantages? Is google bot going to raise an eyebrow and give us a dirty look? Cheers! MozAddict

Social shares: A ranking factor or not?
Open Site Explorer lists them and every so-called SEO expert says social signals/shares are a ranking factor. Everyone but Matt Cutts, it would seem. So if they're not a ranking factor, why show them in Open Site Explorer?

Lost social share count after migrating blog
Hi, Yesterday I migrated our blog to a new domain. It seems it went smoothly and all 301 redirects were implemented and are working properly, however, the social share count was lost across all posts and has returned to zero. Is there any easy way I can recover our social share counts across the board? I am using the **1-click Retweet/Share/Like **plugin for Wordpress. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thank you, from Russell in South Africa.

Google + Buttons
Is the following entirely correct? What would you add or subtract?: Google+ is making its presence known in the Google search results. One of the main benefits of using Google+ for your business is that your Google+ posts are indexed in Google. The more you post, the more likely your content will show up in search results. Things you can do today that will improve your visibility using Google+: Optimize your "About" page. Add keywords to your Google+ profile and links to your website using keywords as anchor text. Add links to your website, social networks, and blog in the "recommended links" section on Google+ page. Add a link (or icon) to your Google+ page on your website, blog, social networks, and your email signature. Add a +1 button to your website. The number of +1s a page gets will show up in the search results, even if a searcher is not logged into Google+. Announce your new Google+ page everywhere you communicate online, encouraging people to add your page to their circles. Your content will rank higher for specific keywords in search for those who have a connection to you on Google+.
