Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Bob,

This is interesting, the code you have there looks right and usually if you have the age set to 13+ it's not a problem. One thing, did you add the Javascript to your page? I'm assuming you used this page: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ to create the box right? And selected the HTML5 option? If so, then also make sure the correct JavaScript was added right beneath the tag.

I did a little searching as well and found this post on stackoverflow that might help http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7268100/facebook-likebox-showing-fine-but-only-if-logged - although it sounds like you're doing it right.

Hopefully this helps!

Sadly it looks like there isn't an option to change the color. Maybe they're trying to compete with the Pinterest button.

This is a great thread Alan! And not just for new Mozzers, but for everyone really. As you said this is a collaborative forum so please mark questions as answered, thumb up good answers and mark as "good answer" if it helped you!

The SEOmoz staff can't be everywhere and we count on the community to help each other out. We really appreciate all the contributions and I absolutely love hearing stories about people getting jobs through Q&A or gaining significant help, etc. Let's keep that stuff going!

Thanks again for bringing this up Alan, it's great to have the reminder. And Thanks to everyone for being so helpful!

Hmm I don't know, but can't you search for the URL? or search for some of the text in the URL? I'd definitely reach out to them, they have great customer service!

It looks really great!

You can use http://rowfeeder.com for that! Depending how much you're going to need, it may even be free for you. You enter your search terms, then it creates a Google Spreadsheet for you with the Username, name, actual tweet, their home page (listed on their profile), location, followers, friends, and time of tweet. It will backfill as well as track going forward as well.

We use it all the time here at SEOmoz. Hope this helps!

Hmm you're right, there definitely used to be a way to do this, as we did it on our SEOmoz page (I think). I'm not sure if this is totally helpful, but you might start with this: http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=111476422280048#How-do-I-claim-a-Facebook-Place-for-my-business-and-link-it-to-my-existing-business-page?

The links all point back to your site right? This seems like it wouldn't be an issue with duplicate content since your pages are already established as the original owner of the content.

I don't know too much about ShopTab (maybe Kurt can explain more) but if it's pulling it in from an iFrame it may not be an issue at all.

Either way, I wouldn't worry too much about this being duplicate content. If you are worried though, you could start by adding just one subset of products first, see how that goes, then add the rest. If you have an example page to look at it I'm happy to check it out for you as well.

Thanks!

I have tried it out and you should definitely do the free trial! You get some really interesting data. Let me know what you think!

Sorry for being a bit slow to respond to this one. I agree that the less aggressive option might be best here. I see that there area a ton of comments on that already. You have quite the community there!

Hi! I think you're on the right track with your thinking. I'm sorry this is a bit late and I haven't checked if you've already started the giveaway. I like the idea a lot of having people comment on the post, and that will start some conversation going there. We did something similar with giving away a book for our book club on LinkedIn.

How do you have your newsletter set up? It might be easier to actually have people send a specific tweet to get an extra entry rather than to sign up for the newsletter. Perhaps you can push signing up for the newsletter another way. You really want people who care about getting the content and not just a bunch of numbers, right?

I would always keep SEO in mind as you write posts, but I think you're right that it's not something you'll need to be overly optimized on with this one. There are times where you want your post to rank for specific keywords, and times where the focus is current content, not necessarily something that people will care about in 2 months.

Hope this helps a bit! Let us know how it goes.

Hi! for SEOmoz specifically we use Bronto for our newsletter, our Moz Top 10 email and many other emails. For Client management we use Infusionsoft, although we also have lots of info that we've built into our own database.

We're also lucky to have really excellent in-house designers who help us with our website and keep us consistent and usable!

I hope I was able to answer your questions. Please feel free to ask more!

Thanks,

Jen

Hi! Are you talking about the videos on Whiteboard Fridays? joeyoungblood is right, we use Wistia for video, it may be something they can fix on their end? If you give me an example I can check it out.

Thanks!

I just tweeted this from the SEOmoz account, so we'll see if you get some more responses

Hi guys! Unfortunately don't have specific training courses like this where we train people on using our product, however we do have weekly Help webinars where you can talk to us directly and ask questions. You can sign up for them here: http://www.seomoz.org/dp/welcome-webinars.

Additionally, Distilled has some great conferences in the UK and the next one coming up is LinkLove. You can get more information about that here: http://www.distilled.net/events/linklove-london/.

Hope this helps!

I also just responded to a similar question: http://www.seomoz.org/q/benefits-of-1ing-a-sub-page-vs-root-page#post-66917 that I think will be helpful as well!

In essence, it might not even make a difference for Google. But, what I like about +1ing a page is that it then shows up in your feed so others will see it and you'll probably get more eyeballs on the specific content.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dylan! So I'd definitely say that having people +1 a specific page is going to be useful because it will show up in the SERPs if it's relevant to the query. However, check out this post from Rishi: How to Get a Celebrity to Endorse ALL You Products on Google. He shows where Aaron Wall shows up as +1ing the UK ebay site, but he never did. He did however +1 the US site. So Google is showing his +1 for essentially any page on the subdomain.

Major takeaways:

1. He DID plus eBay.com, and NOT .co.uk. Google merged it to the .co.uk domain.
2. He later REMOVED his plus. Google ignored the fact.
3. He plussed the root domain. Google indicates that he plussed  the SPECIFIC Ad Page.
4. Its false endorsement, manipulated by Google.

In other words, it may not even matter! Hope this helps.

Hi Nevil!

I highly recommend you read through this article: The Ultimate Google+ SEO Guide from AJ Kohn. He's put in a ton of work to try to figure out how to make Google+ work for you from an SEO perspective. One part that jumped out to me from the post that seems quite relevant to your particular question is this line:

Content from people you engage with more often or content that is more popular overall will rank better.

I'd definitely read through his guide, as it's by far the best one out there for info on Google+ for SEO purposes.

Hope this helps!

Hi guys! Robert is correct, the info does exist now in campaigns and yes we do have it in the plan to add it to reports as well. It would be great if you could add and/or upvote the request on this page as well: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests. Thanks so much!
