Facebook comments and seo
-
hi everyone
i wondered if googlebot explores facebook comments and if not, what are the seo benefits of facebook comments module?
As you can see below, techcrunch has added facebook comments in pages
http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/04/facebook-iphone-event-check-ins
So is it useful for SEO purposes?

Hello,
could you say what the name of that plugin?
-
I had the exact same question, and found a Wordpress plugin that makes Facebook comments readable.
-
It may be that using this add on has some benefits within Facebook search which is currently pretty patchy in my experience.
-
my technical team, also thinks that comments are not viewable when googlebot explores the website...
so if everybody thinks so, that means it isn't necessary for seo purposes to use the new facebook comments plugin na?
-
Hmmm, interesting, ill have a play. Cheers Lewis.

Facebook comments are locatable within Facebook but all testing I have seen/done has shown that they are not viewable via Google.
You can check by searching for a facebook comment you have made using site:facebook.com so it only returns results from the Facebook domain.

Hey Franck
I am completely lost when it comes to facebook. Twitter I can understand, it's all public (or most of it, unless you opt out) but facebook activity is mostly private. I am guessing that this mainly relates to public facebook pages and the like but I still don't understand how facebook shares impact SEO and had been meaning to post that very question.
Anyone got the 5 minute skinny on this?

Does Facebook Messages count as a social signal factor?
Hi, We know that social signals are usually referred to as a webpage's collective likes, comments or shares. But what about the Facebook messages generated from the messenger plugin on a web page? Especially on a business page, if one business page receives hundreds of Facebook messages through a landing page or blog page, does that count as social shares? And how effective is social signals are for a website in 2020? Although social engagement is always good for any website, my question is, how logical is it to purchase "social signal gigs" from konker or Fiverr or other gig markets? We run a social media marketing company in Australia, our website: https://www.playchat.com.au and we get a lot of messages every day through the messenger add on from our home page. Will that make any difference whatsoever? Looking forward to hearing from you. I appreciate any help you can provide.

Blogger vs wordpress from SEO perspective
Blogger is under the google umbrella and of course will be in line with google's strategic moves in the future.That includes commenting with google plus accounts and any future integrations. (google plus will HUGE in the future when it comes to SEO)currently there is no way to host blogger on your own servers, which means all your images and video are not really yours from an SEO perspective. Wordpress however does not have as much technical restrictions, but eventually it will be a major competitor to blogger. You can host it on your own servers as well. So from an SEO perspective which one is better?

Running a contest to increase Facebook Likes
I recently read about a well known company giving away a large prize and offering anyone a chance to win by Liking their Facebook Page. Has there been any statements provided by Google on how they view the attempt to increase Facebook Likes through contests. Or if they have not revealed anything, what do you think Google's approach would be based on their history?

Facebook Page not in Search
My Facebook page does not show up within the first 50 results of a search for my brand. I have over 3,000 fans and am relatively active so it should be there. On the second page of SERPs for my brand there is a Facebook page of a spammy looking affiliate with 15 fans. On the third page my Facebook test page appears. Any ideas about what happened with my page? Is it possible Google penalized my Facebook page - and if so, how do I fix that? I checked the admin again and the page is open to the public and when I do a search for "brand facebook" it appears. Thanks for your help!
