How do I find out the total number of Google +1's my website has?
-
I can't for the life of me figure how to see the total number of Google +1's my site has.
Yes, I've tried Webmaster Tools, but it only shows +1's from the past 30 days. All days prior to that are grayed out.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
-
I'll keep working on it. When i get something that will give you all 10,000 pages, I'll send you a private message.
Thank you for the vote of enthusiasm Jennifer!
-
Whoa! You built an app that quick to help answer this question (and obviously get the information in general). That is so cool! I just tried the app, it's neat. Thanks for doing this!
-
Well my site has over 10,000 pages, so I probably shouldn't do that
Either way, I had forgotten that OSE gives me the +1's for my top 25 pages. Since those are the most likely to get +1'd anyway (at least that's my guess), it gives me a good idea.
If for nothing else, thanks for that reminder.
And keep working on your +1 app, you'd have something very unique if you built the first user-friendly way to get complete +1 data, especially since Google's own Webmaster Tools can't seem to do it!
-
I tried that, but it looks like it only allows me to pull data from the last 30 days.

Oh yes, I realize the call only gets it for that specific domain. The thing you could could do is download a full list of the URL's in your domain, and paste them into the textbox. Then put that into Excel and run a sum on the count column. Sorry if that didn't make sense. If I get my site crawler operational, I may be able to implement a way to just put in the top domain and have it find all the other pages and tally them for you. But as of now, the list is the best I can do.
for instance.
"http://www.apple.com/",13476
"http://www.apple.com/mac/",257
"http://www.apple.com/ipod/",134
The export tool from OSE should have all your pages listed. Given it's not a huge domain, the tool should be able to handle it.
Let me know how you make out, if not, I'll have time tomorrow night or maybe Sunday to improve the functionality.
-
Ah ha! The backslash is the secret.
Here are the results for Apple: "http://www.apple.com/",13476
Unfortunately, that's roughly the same figure I get from OSE (13,472), so I think your application is also only pulling data for the home page.
Either that, or I'm misreading OSE, and it really is pulling +1 data for the entire domain...
-
I didn't get anything for apple.com either. But I checked opensiteexplorer. It looks like the backslash needs to be used.
"http://www.apple.com/",13476
-
Cool idea, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
For example, here's the results I got for Apple:
-
Try Google Webmaster Tools
-
If you exported a document with all the url's of your domain, do you think this spreadsheet program would work? I fooled with it a little, but couldn't get the function to work. There's a Curl call you could try if you're a programmer

Edit: Since I'm a programmer, I thought I'd see if I could make it work. Here's a really quick application of it.

So it does. And the link report only gives the social information on the top 25 pages of your domain... Sorry about that!
-
Thanks, Andrew. I just tried that, but it seems like OSE only gives +1 data for the exact URL.
I need +1 data for the entire domain.

If you have a pro account for SEOmoz, http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/ will give you Facebook, Twitter and Google +1 statistics. I'm not sure how long it takes for them to find them though.
Edit From my reply: I wrote a tool myself as a starting point. http://www.touchoftechnology.com/google-plus-1-counter-for-list-of-urls/

Counting unique landing pages in Google Analytics: social vs organic channels
Remember the technique Rand posted for counting the unique indexed landing pages on a site? http://moz.com/blog/indexation-for-seo-real-numbers-in-5-easy-steps I'm using Google Analytics to compare this result for the "social" channel vs. the "organic search" channel. The idea is to see whether social or search delivers people to more unique landing pages. I would expect organic search to yield a significantly higher count, due to long tail searches for relatively obscure terms. We have an archive of over 500k pages that Google could be indexing, even if only a fraction of a percent of those might be getting social mentions. But that's not what the numbers show -- I'm seeing roughly 10% higher numbers for the Social channel than for Organic Search. Again, I'm counting unique landing pages here, not the total pageviews or visits. If anyone else here is monitoring these metrics, please chime in with your results. What's the baseline expectation for a large website with hundreds of thousands of pages of issue-centric user-generated content? Should search traffic provide 2x more landing page exposures than social? 5x? 10x? or 0.9x, as in my case? In short, I believe these numbers are pointing to an indexing/ranking problem following a recent site redesign.

Merging Google+ Pages and Google+ Local - how?
A client is one brand with several locations. Previously, we had created a Google+ Page for each location - now we're finding out that we should have created only one brand page with a Local page for each location. Two questions: Is this correct? Do we create a brand PAGE, with separate LOCAL profiles for each address If yes, is there a way to merge the work that we have already done on the pages to the Local profiles? We don't want to lose the followers and updates that we've made to these pages. Thanks for the help!

Is there a way to set up a business Facebook page without linking it to a client's personal page or having to use our own employee's personal page?
Our clients want us to manage their FB pages. I need to know how we can do this without having to enter through the FB page of whomever set up the business account. I'm aware of the ability of the person who set up the Business page to allow admin access, but that too requires an our employee to give his or her personal FB info for this access. In the same vein, a former employee set up a client's FB page using his own personal account and now when we enter the client's business page, we do not have access to the search window and we don't have the ability to go to other pages to "like" other pages - the button doesn't even appear if we are signed in and search a FB page through an engine. We do have the ability to see Admin settings and metrics but we don't have the news feed, and we have other limited access/abilities. I would like to have a central access so neither client or our employee has to offer personal FB log in information. Thank you, Julie

Should each domain have it's own social media ?
Hi, were in the process of creating multiple domains and sites for each country we plan to operate in, should each site site have it's own set of Facebook, twitter you tube accounts etc? I realise this will create more work in administrating each site and corresponding set of social media accounts, but does it have benefits ? As we'll need to do it anyway in different languages, does separating the English languages accounts make any difference carry any benefits? Thanks,

Find Facebook Likes and Google +1's Across An Entire Domain?
Does anyone know a good way to find the number of Facebook Likes or Google +1's across an entire domain? It looks like SEOMoz only shows these metrics for individual pages.

SEO w/o Social Webinair experiment - how can RTs of a URL of a google search possibly affect the position of one of the search results?
I missed the webinair but have just been going through the slides. Looking forward to watching the video when its up. I have a question however regarding the experiment conducted by Rand to find out: Is Social Influencing Primary Algorithms (slides 7 - 20) The suggestion is that an RT of a google search URL affects the ranking of one individual ranking site. The +1 side of the experiment I understand completely - it is clear how Google can see that there is a social preference for the site and reward accordingly. But how would retweeting the search result URL possibly affect its rankings? Is the suggestion that those doing the experiment also clicked on the relevant link? And if so, how is Google discerning that this additional traffic is down to Twitter? I feel I am missing something incredibly obvious. Anyone want to help me out here?... otherwise I'm not going to sleep tonight...

Are Facebook page updates indexed in Google search?
I seem to remember an update where Google said it was going to include Facebook page updates into Google search, but perhaps that was a deal that fell through? If updates ARE appearing in Gooogle search, how do I troubleshoot a Facebook page where they are not?
