How to get power tweets & Likes for social signals!

[activitysuper]

Hi,

Just been looking into social signals a little deeper.

From what I have read a tweet from one page is not the same as a tweet from another page, the authority and influence is also a big part.

So a tweet from CNN does a lot more then a tweet from a random.

So how do you find these authority and influential pages/users?

I have come across Klout.com which gives a score out of 100, which is one way I guess BUT I have also noticed mozbar stats change for different facebook pages.

Q: Can you use the mozbar on facebook & twitter pages to workout who will generate the best social signals?

Cheers

Building relationships with people in your field is key, Google + is very good for this: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/5-tips-for-managing-community-on-google-plus. Mention people in your niche, comment on their posts, give them value. Then ask them to share your content/tweets etc...

Hi! Unfortunately to answer your last question, I don't think that using the Mozbar on specific pages will be overly helpful to determine those high authority accounts. While it will show you backlinks and overall page/domain authority it doesn't show you the number of followers, how often they tweet, how many retweets they get, etc.

Klout and similar services are an interesting way to finding influential/authoritative users, but it shouldn't be the only strategy. Each of the social sites has different ways to go about this and different tools exist. There are a number of great posts out there that about how to do this on the different platforms. Let me do some searches and I'll add them here!

Thanks,

Jen

Hi Jen,

Thanks for the reply.

That would be useful, social seems like a big area now for SEO and I think maybe even some SEOmoz input on the subject would be great.
