Facebook Comments | Massive Overall Increase in Rankings! Anybody else experience this?
-
Last week I implemented Facebook Comments and Addthis to my site. Rankings went up for nearly all my keywords. I have people from Africa, Europe and USA asking questions. Every time someone comments, it is shared on their Facebook Wall.
I want to know if anybody has experienced this besides me?
Here's my site if you want to see it in action.

Interesting...is this common practice?
-
I just took a look at your blog. From my view point, there is no reason for me to click "Twitter’s Online Marketing Possibilities Largely Untapped" when I can read the post right there on the home page. There is not enough content. I would have never reached the page where the FB Comments are.
Your other post "Can Google+ Bring Online Marketing Strands Together?"only has 152 words. I wouldn't have gone to the second page since I would have read the article right there on the home page.
You are getting tweets though. I think people may be tweeting your article off the home page because it's so easy access.
Why are all your images going to Flicker? Why not on the server to keep PR.

I'm going to noFollow the links as SEOmoz did when they used ADDTHIS.

The Facebook Comments would contribute to traffic, and possibly the Addthis has some effect. Yet in my opinion the Addthis sharing buttons are not the best as they have hidden links back to the addthis website so if you have 100,000 pages they get 100k pages links. I would go for other sharing buttons options.

If users are sticking around on your site, adding comments, and engaging more, that data is tracked through tool bars and chrome on google, that equates to a better UX and better scores.
The conventional wisdom is that Panda is updated every X days, but that is not to say that other metrics that Google has aren't included in a more real time manner.
If you just added comments to your site, that is good for your users and you will thus get more SEO etc in the long run anyway.

FB shares, it's possible, but maybe it need more than 1.5 weeks, but possible in short-time too, i will try tonight with new domain name, try to place the facebook comment plugin, with single index.php page, well optimized, and to make a test if i can rank it higher for brand name.
Thanks!

Hey EGOL, I think you may be right. The Facebook Comments is an iFrame, but the amount of FB Shares & Likes are probably what's making my rankings higher. I know people are now naturally linking to me. I can see it in GWT.
-
I know which one you are talking about. I don't want to clutter up my page with comments because it's not a blog. I don't want to confuse the reader. I am totally fine with an iFrame and me limiting comments to 10. It tool about 1.5 weeks. I don't know if it was the Facebook Comments or just the sheer amount of Facebook Shares that made my rankings go up. I'm thinking it's more the FB shares.
-
I will try this tactic too, some days before was one post on youmoz, talking about making facebook comments indexed by google.
When have you started this comment tactic? how many days must vait for an rank effect?
thanks

Great to hear that your rankings are up!
I bet that FB has little to do with it... I would be betting on some juicy links taking effect.
-
What is your site?
-
I have this added to my blog but have really struggled to see any kind of response from comments. Any suggestions or is it just down to the content.
-
Never heard of it, but it seems like a GREAT idea. Glad it's working for you.

Is Anybody Outside of SEO Industry Getting ROI from Google+ ?? Tell the truth!
I have been watching Google+ and see lots of SEOs sharing ideas and enjoying their circles. However, I have not seen anything outside of the webmaster community that I would hold up as an example of business engagement - and certainly nothing that seems to be producing a good ROI for a business. It seems to me that everyone outside of the webmaster community is on FaceBook and doesn't give a hoot about Google+. And, since FaceBook has the massive amount of people why should I open an outpost in the poorly populated Google+? I am not looking for Google+ evangelist answers. Just looking to hear if anybody anywhere has found Google+ to be a better use of their time than FaceBook and working on your website. I do believe that using Google+ as an author verification platform is a good use of your time if you have valuable content - mainly because it helps your visibility in the SERPs. Beyond that I am looking for validation. Anybody want to point to something good happening or telling a success story? Thanks!

Constantly randomly rejected Facebook ads, how to solve this?
Im pulling my hairs out literally, Facebook has been constantly rejecting my ads, throwing away All the work it took the campaigns to set them up. This is getting frustrating since I allways get the same "image" reason. What bothers me is the themes are similar to previously approved ads and I for one cannot find a reason on their lists for the rejection. So I was thinking of just resending the same ads with a higher bid, to test if they approved them or not, but don't know how this will work. Is there a way to contact them to actually tell you what they think was wrong? Is there a chance to file a complaint for the rejection of the same ad with different targeting just on different dates? Im really really stressed out since ive lost 10hours of work dealing with this constant rejection nonsense.
