Are you doing SEO on Twiiter and Facebook pages?

[MBayes]

Seems to be a thought process emerging (CALL THE MEDIA!) that twiiter and facebook are having through various different paths a real ranking effect.  Is anyone now doing SEO on a clients Social media page because of this. I know they are no follow. I am not sure they don't pass juice.

Hi,

I think it is evident that many companies in the market are providing best practice for Twitter and Facebook SEO, you show clients how to use these properties effectively to aid SEO.

I mean Twitter can be used for not only link building yet also link prospecting.

Facebook is a bit more difficult for optimization yet you can acquire a keyword rich URL and optimize specific sections of your Facebook profile such as Info/About me which is crawled by Google. You can also do thinks like optimize Facebook comments boxes to AID SEO.

In the end it is not so much about passing juice it is about creating buzz to aid link bait, PR, create noise, I also feel that Twitter has great SEO benefit. Yet you can be still smart with Facebook pages to aid SEO.
