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.

Thanks for both of your suggestions. G+ seems so obvious I'm embarrassed I neglected it.
Digg is something I've heard about before, and again more recently since getting into SEO, but don't know much about. I'll definitely look into it.
Thanks for the quick responses.

I also like to add my URL that I've added content to to web 2.0 sites like digg.

Hi,
If you want fast indexation, your best bet is to promote it via Google+, as Google obviously has direct access to that database.
Facebook and Twitter certainly doesn't hurt, but Google+ is usually faster.

Facebook Lead Ads to email
I am trying to find the best way to get information from submissions that come from Facebook Lead Ads to be sent straight to email. I believe the way to do this is to configure a CRM. Does anyone know though of a free CRM to use that will enable this to be setup?

Tool like Followerwonk for Facebook?
Hi For Twitter using Followerwonk you can gauge the influence on what a person/brand is using a tool like Follwerwonk helping you find the most influential twitter users based on a number of metrics. But is there a similar tool for Facebook which shows which brands/companies Facebook sites have the most influence. Or is the best way to gauge this is just on their number of likes? which is not really accurate

Is it possible to get high page ranking with no social media activity?
I'm curious to know how much social media effects the chances of being more highly ranked on Google. I appreciate it's important to 'be seen' by Google, but if articles/newsletters are being written, does it really matter if a business isn't using Twitter or Facebook, etc?

Facebook Likes not counted
So many of my clients are (very) small businesses and have added a like button to their website home pages that actually has the person liking their Facebook page rather than the website. Without debating the pros and cons of this approach, it would seem that Facebook has changed it so that if someone clicks a like button that is for a page they have not actually visited the like does not show up in the like count for that page? Is that correct?

Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. Is there value in a presence on them?
I have a client (professional practice) whose father is a marketing professor. He is pushing the client that he should have a professional page on social sites. While I believe having FB likes, shares, Tweet links, +1, etc. on the page, I really am ambivalent about building pages specifically for social media sites.
