What is a good amount of social shares per week / day?
-
As the title says. What is your idea of a good amount of social shares to be given per day or week or month for a website?
-
In my experience, a baseline number of shares is completely reliant on the content being shared. The type of content is also indicative of the network it will be shared on. For example: We get more shares from Linkedin when we produce "professional" content. We get more Facebook shares when we share time wasting content.
Sorry I could not be more specific. I would be happy to help if you are more specific about your brand/ target market.

Sounds like you're going to need to get a new software for your website. There is no minimum or maximum amount for Facebook likes. This is all going to depend upon your competition which we don't know. Use open site Explorer to see what the competition has. It may take a long time to rack up shares.

Thanks Francisco. I have tried that but have unfortunately had to give up because my WYSIWYG website making program, for whatever reason, can't accommodate, so have decided to forfeit (it seems to have problems with the widgets that are graphically like PNG files). It can manage widgets that are contained within a box so I'm limited to the little addthis horizontal bar. My site and pages from it gets 5 to 7 social shares a day on places like FB, G+ and Pinterest, is this good?

Try to put the FB Like button on your conversion page and tell people to click the like button so the Like goes to the home page. Addthis will not work for this so you will need to make a button here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

I don't really do much on my FaceBook business page. Yes social shares. Like when someone goes through the "addthis" widget on your site and shares your website / webpage. I'm sure no amount is too little!

Are you talking about sharing on your facebook wall? I would say 20% pimping your product and 80% relevant info.
If you are talking about getting Facebook URL likes, get as many as you can. There is no amount that's too little.

Opinions on offering an incentive/discount for Facebook sharing
I often see sites offering a discount for liking their Facebook page, but very rarely do I see sites offering a discount for sharing a link or their page. What are your opinions of this, is it something that Facebook could frown upon? Are people likely to just share, get the discount and then remove the post etc?

Implementing Pinterest On Site and Social Snippets
Hi can someone confirm, does Pinterest use Open Graph Protocol? If you use the Pinterest Widget builder - http://business.pinterest.com/widget-builder/#do_pin_it_button Will the image you place in the widget replace the image Pinterest selects if it does use the Open Graph Protocol? The site already uses Open Graph Protocol for Facebook and Google+. It also uses Twitter cards for twitter. It would be good if we don't need to add more html (such as from the Pinterest widget builder) for Pinterest. -- Matt

Where to find good SEO freelancers?
Can anyone recommend any good SEO freelancers for on-site and off-site SEO work on a monthly basis? On sites like elance, freelancer, etc. it's basicly impossible to find any good services due to so many bad "companies" offering all the same thing.

Do social media buttons work better "within" a website or "outside" of a website?
Websites like techcrunch.com include the social media buttons (+1, FB like, linkedin etc.) to the left of their articles so they seem to float outside of the content. Some even let the social media buttons wander while scrolling, so that they are always visible (e.g. here: http://www.kirstenwinkler.com/news-from-palabea-and-how-to-prepare-kids-for-tomorrow/). The "traditional" way has been to include the buttons within the content, e.g. on top of the article or on the right hand side. I was wondering which alternative has the largest impact. Intuitively "outside" of the content should be more visible as it "breaks" with the website design. Has anyone done an empirical test which version gets more clicks?

What is the best social backlink checker available right now?
I want a tool that i can enter a domain into and get all the social backlinks available. Preferably the tool that keeps the most recent database of this information. I'm willing to pay for the tool, it does not need to be free. Not sure if i'm using the right terminology here, by "social backlinks" i mean Facebook Shares, Twitter RT's, Google +'s, etc.

Need a good Oracle friendly CMS to host our blog
I'm trying to convince my tech dept to take our blog off of a subdomain and move it to a folder on our root domain. Understandably, they don't want to build it from scratch, so I need some good CMS tools to build the blog. Our first choice is Wordpress but it isn't compatible with Oracle. Does anybody know of any good solutions that are Oracle-friendly? Our platform is PHP.. Thanks!!
