Blog Sharing Options
-
We are currently evaluating a long list of blog promotion and sharing ideas for our website and wanted to ask some of the resident experts here. We post all of our blogs on our Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ pages, but would you suggest using any of these services for an internet marketing company? What would be the main purpose to using them?
- StumbleUpon
- Technorati
- Digg
- Tumblr
- Delicious
- Any missing from the list?
Is there a list of great sites to ping through WordPress? I saw they provided a list on the http://codex.wordpress.org/Update_Services page. Is this good to use? Do we need to create accounts at all of those services first? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The question should be not: "What services should I ping?", but what "Social" are the correct for me?
Because, even if they don't look like Twitter or Facebook, all the sites you cited are Social.
So, is it justified for you to share your content in those sites? Is your audience there?
If yes, do it. If not, don't waste your time.

Thank you very much for your response. We are essentially just submitting links to each of the blog posts that we write and then it will send people back to our blog, correct? Also, is it worth sending a ping to all of those services, especially if you are not indexed in their services?

would you suggest using any of these services for an internet marketing company?
Yes, for sure.What would be the main purpose to using them?
Why, Social media provide the direct opportunity to reach the target audience. The medium or which site to use depending on niche. If not all but many of your clients will surely be using Twitter and facebook. The question is how to reach them.
The sites you mentioned in the list are all big Social bookmarking sites and it is always good to share your great/unique content in these sites especially one i personally recommend is Reddit.
Is there a list of great sites to ping through WordPress?
Ping sites are for fast indexing of your content.You make changes in content or added new content.Use this ping service to make search engines that you make the changes and its ready for indexing. come and crawl the site again please.
I suggest you use Google webmaster fetch and index option for better and fast indexing.

Should I be worried about a duplicate content issues between LinkedIn and my blog posts?
I sometimes take my original LinkedIn post and repost it to my blog. Since Google indexes LinkedIn posts, is there any need to worry about duplicate content issues? Or will Google recognize the common author/ownership?

Moderate blog comments Yes/No? Facebook comment plugin?
I was reading outbound marketing and they suggest that a good blog "does not" moderate comments. I have always taken the moderate approach, but their thought was this inhibits a conversation from taking place on the blog. I am wondering what thoughts others may have on this and its potential positive and negative impacts, both SEO and in general. Also I am thinking about using a Facebook plugin with my blogposts. I think this may be a good way to help get social visibility... Has anyone tried this yet?

URL's for videos to increase page value and social sharing value
Hello Everyone, We recently developed videos for all of our products. Upon clicking on each video, we have the video popping up in a lightbox. The videos are hosted on Amazon s3. We would like to implement social sharing for each video and to do so, we are going to have the video load on each page upon being clicked using jquery. My question is how we should structure the urls so that the actual product page gets the share value. So for example, if the page is www.website.com/product1.aspx should we have the video be www.website.com/product1.aspx#video and ensure there is a canonical url on each product page so that the benefit is given to www.website.com/product1.aspx Or is there another way that anyone would recommend doing this? The videos are AMAZING and I'd like to ensure that as these videos are shared on social networks, that the value of the share is directed to the actual product page. Any ideas mozzers? Thanks!

What is more important, tweets/shares or traditional link building?
SMM has a presence that is just growing and growing. I'm hearing all these back and forth talks about how tweets/shares are influencing rankings more than traditional link building would. If so, would this be a short term ranking improvement, long term? What percentage would you say SMM (ranking factor) has when ranking a website in the SERPS.
