Question about influencers
-
Hello,
Can a twitter, facebook, linkedin or instagram business page be considered an influencer
Or
Does an influencer need to absolutely be a person ?
Thank you,

This is a pretty good question, and I admit I never thought about it. Anyway, thanks for the answers.

Really informative thread. Thank you so much for sharing this information with me.

An influencer can absolutely be a travel guide or comparable company rather than only an individual. We run and operate Totally Boise as this purpose, to highlight great things to do and places to see in Boise, for tourists and local. Just keep in mind, influencers should be focused on providing the highest quality content for your query. Dont be a pushy inlfuencer selling goods and services that are not needed. Be a value, as Im sure your plan is to be.

Good to hear that as long as there is someone behind the account that is an influencer. It confirms to me that a company can be an influencer. Good to hear ! Thank you,

Hello there! Influencer marketing can be used in many different ways today. I think an easy way to look at it is... "who are the people or accounts that my target customer/persona etc. are following, sharing content, and engaging with the most and how can I build relationships with these people?" By building relationships with and engaging with these "influencers" you have the opportunity to broaden your reach and hopefully they will share your messages to their followers who likely fit your target market. Another benefit to having "influencers" share your content is that oftentimes people will listen more intentionally to people they know and trust. That's why if an influencer is sharing your content and their following is in your target market you are trying to reach, then it is a great way to get your message in front of the right people!
Back to your original question, I agree with Meisha. As long as there is a person behind the account and that account is being followed by your target audience, it might make for a great influencer partnership!
Hope this helps!

Hi there. Did you have a specific page/example in mind? Generally, when I think of an 'influencer', I think of an individual person. I can see the lines being blurred by parody or anonymous accounts where the person running the show isn't public, but at the end of the day, a person is behind the content and interactions.

Standardising of Company Name Across The Web Question
Good Morning All There are two variations of our company name on the website. Sometimes the name is listed as "name and name" and sometimes listed as "name & name" The domain is obviously www.nameandname.co.uk I believe I am correct in saying that we would be wise to go through and standardise, using one form or the other? Secondly, my main question is would we be wise to use "name and name" as the default, as the word "and" and not the symbol "&" is in the domain itself? Many Thanks

Footer anchors question
A few months ago, we changed the anchors in all of our websites footers to rel="nofollow". We did this so we could drop the possibility of getting hit by the penguin update. So first, we had anchors in the template of every website that read something along the lines of "web design by bluetone media". This was on every page, so we quickly changed every link in our footers to nofollows so it would show Google that we were using that space for mainly branding purposes, instead of stealing juice from clients. However, after monitoring our link analysis, we have severely dropped in domain authority, domain moztrust, domain mozrank and more. I believe this is due to the lack of followed links, so would it be best to go back and remove all of the links from the templates of our websites and just leave the dofollow links on the homepages of our websites, or just wait it out and see what happens. This crazy decline in domain authority has only recently happened, should I expect a bounce back soon?

Duplicate Content Question
I have a question about duplicate content. We have our mission statement on our home page, a few paragraphs. When I searched Copyscape the only pages that came back were sites like Google Plus, Manta, Linkedin, AngieLists ect. All of them have the same exact copy. Would this be something that is hurting us for duplicate content??

It is our mission statement so we kind of want to be the same across those sites. Any input would be great. Thanks, Scott0 -
High authority brand expanding product line, domain question
Hi MOZers, I've been given a handy little domain puzzle to deal with and would love insight from the community. Here's the situation: We're retailers of one specific, big, nationally known product. Let's pretend it's the Snuggee (IT'S NOT). People search for it and buy it from our site, or from Amazon or other retailers that we distribute it to. We're about to expand to carry a bunch of related, but different products - so from a one-product brand to 5 or 6 different items, relating to different keyword searches. Imagine Snuggee people want to start selling a whole bunch of products that solve the same needs of warming the front of your body and making you look silly. The owners want to change the main domain from [specific product] to [name similar to specific product, but is more general]. What concerns me is how to handle the fame of the branded product in terms of domain names. Current domain, based on that product, has a ton of links and a decent age. Owners are thinking to redirect everything to fresh new unestablished domain. While I know 301s will pass most link value, it will also be a home page that will be about a bunch of products - not just that main known one. In fact, we're considering making a URL for each product as landing page, of which old famous product would be one of 5 or 6 pages. Two main options we're considering right now: Keep old domain as a doorway page featuring just old product, with same look and feel, and from which any links would point to the new domain. Try to keep this as ranking for top result for this search, which should be easy. Unify everything under new domain, with old product being featured on a separate page / subdirectory. Hope that new home page still can rank pretty well for our old product, even though it will be talking about other products now as well. What we'd stand to lose would be the SERP for old products featuring too many big box retailers that sell our stuff and take a chunk out of our margins. The goal is to help us become known for many things, while still being always the best search result for what we're already known for. Which of those two options seem best, or is there another I'm missing altogether? Thank you!

Video Hosting Question - host on website via wistia type solution or upload to youtube and embed?
I have a client that owns a Video production company. They have a lot of video examples of all their different types of services i.e. commercial production, TV broadcast production, business videos, training videos, etc. Where should I host their portfolio of videos, should I: A: Use a paid video hosting solution like wistia B. Upload to youtube or vimeo and embed to my own site The only videos titles with keywords that I could see bringing any type of conversions for their business would be their demo reels, for example: "Atlanta Corporate Video Production Demo Reel." The other videos would be the name of the video "Court TV: Cop On Trial For Killing Wife" and therefore wouldn't bring the kind of visitors that are searching for a video production service. This is why I'm curious about what the best hosting option is. Any advice would be a great help.

A question on what you should always track on your users
For any website it obviously useful to know about as much of your user behaviour as possible - and part of that involves past user behaviour. This is generally done by cookies and would involve things like: Last Visit Date Number of Site Visits Number of pages viewed etc etc I'm trying to build up a list for my developers so they are trackign the information that, although may not be explicetly useful now, but may be useful for future functionality. So does anyone have a list of the key things you should always track?
