Which is better for SEO Facebook or Twitter?
-
If you could choose between a tweet from an influencer or a post from a Facebook fan "influencer"? Which would you choose?
-
Can you send the link? I see http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors#predictions but don't see a break down of facebook vs twitter
-
Facebook....although everybody is putting a link to their facebook page from their homepage which is is giving juice to FB...unless you really have lots of engaged fans 1000+

Google still does not have access to Facebook data, specifically to private walls of 100s of millions of users where a big majority of links are shared. Google has the tweet links and other data shared on Twitter and tweeted links has been shown to improve ranks even if temporarily. I'd vote for Twitter in terms of SEO at the moment but this might change should there be some sort of data sharing agreement between Google and Facebook.

If the FB mention had a link in it, I would choose the Facebook share. In the ranking factors for 2011 release Facebook has WAY more influence on Seo then twitter (especially now that google and twitter no longer have their "real time stream" agreement)

Grr SEO linking.. I am not understanding why I wouldn't have lots more links.. Please help. Thanks
I have done the whole moz open exploer and I am not understanding why my site wouldn’t have more links registering to my website.. I have lots of sites(directorys and 3rd party) with my website domain in them. The only one that is linking to my site is BBB.com and my advertsing with saint paul press. www.somerersetautodealer.com But if I have links with all kinds of automotive directories why wouldn’t they register? I am sure this a simply answer or that I am not understanding something. Thanks for your help! Scott

Empty href damages SEO? (href="#")
Hello, I'm analyzing a website with thousands of pages.
Link Building | | prozis
I realized that on many of them they have empty links such href="#". I wonder if that will cause any SEO damage, or if Google will just ignore it as there isn't any link? I was reading about it and people seems to not be sure, although they recommend on forums to user the CSS pointer clickable instead of empty link. Let me know your opinion on this please! Thank you in advance!0 -

Is it possible to do local SEO for 2 different business locations in same state?
Since you have to be consistent in all your review website information (business name, street, etc.) is it possible to have a website rank for both of their business locations which are about 50 miles from one another in the same state or do they have to pick just one location to promote offsite?

What are the best SEO agencies for link building?
I am not looking for a full service SEO agency. I just want link building. Not paid links, not link networks, not blog comments, not bookmarks...real, legit, decent links. Does anyone have any experience working with an SEO agency that helped them develop their link profile positively and at a reasonable price? I'm willing to pay for the service, I just want to work with someone who won't buy links or send a bunch of spam our way. If anyone has worked with such an agency, please let me know so I can contact them for more info. Thanks!

Will online PR with optimized anchor-text hurt my SEO efforts?
With Google's recent phishing expedition and increased focus on natural link profiles etc where does this leave PR distribution with optimized anchor-text? Using the pai for PR distribution services has always been a great way to build backlinks but I just wonder whether these will be considered over-optimised in future?
