Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Erik,

I'm not sure there's a way to get those shares back. I do know however that Twitter follows the rel=canonical on a page so you might want to try that instead as a test to see if Facebook will honor it as well.

Hope this helps a bit!

Currently you have a share Facebook button, however a "like" is much easier for the user (just one click) and still shows up in the user's timeline. I'd suggest changing that to just a "like" button. It wouldn't hurt to have a link to your facebook page as well.

Since your page is so new, I'd ask all your friends and family to like your page so that it looks like it has a few more interested people.

I also agree with Phillip that you'll probably need to test what works best for you. There is no magic number or formula when it comes to placing social buttons.

Hope this helps!

I'm such a dork. I'll let Jane see if she can get you the answer, if not ping me again. This time I'll pay more attention I promise. haha

LOL! Omg I'm so sorry... SearchLove videos!! haha We just released MozCon videos so I totally thought this thread was about that. Sheesh I'm so so sorry!

Nope! Just make sure you're logged in and it will give you the correct discount.

Actually the only discount is the PRO member discount for $100 off.

Let me know if you have more questions!

Happy to help!

Hi Oliver!

Before coming to SEOmoz I used to work for OntargetJobs which is a company that has multiple niche job boards. Here's what I would recommend:

1. Keep those pages followed because people will link to them and you want to preserve as much of the link equity as you possibly can. So how do you do that?
2. Make sure that when a job expires (or gets removed, whatever) that the page gets 301 redirected to the category page the job is posted under. Depending on the niche, it may be locale based, in that case redirect it to the location. The idea here is to send the user to a helpful page for good user experience and conserve some link equity at the same time.
3. On the page that gets redirected to, program it so when a redirection happens that it displays a message at the top of the page. Something along the lines of "Oops! The job you were looking for is no longer active. However here are similar jobs in XYZ category"

Again as I mentioned above, this is a good way to help user experience, plus keep some of that link equity from the inevitable links job posting pages get.

I hope this helps!

Hi Dave!

So I'm sure other people may have some theories on why they're doing it, but I know that we were getting spammed badly on YOUmoz, we implemented CAPTCHA to the page and that seemed to solve the problem. I mean we still get spam, but only a handful each day rather than say 30. I'll let others chime in as well but wanted to let you know what worked for us.

Oh oh oh! Yes! It's all coming back to me... that's a bug! It should be on your profile page and not your settings page. I'll get a ticket submitted for that right away. I knew the badge looked familiar just couldn't figure out where. doh! Thanks Greg!

Hi guys! Badges have long been on our to-do list but unfortunately the only "official" ones are on the badges page linked to previously. I love the idea of having a PRO badge though, and it's good to know people would like to have them. I'll be sure to let the team know about this thread and that there's an interest.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! We had another question open up about the same topic and our VP of Engineering, Kate left a detailed response. I wanted to add a link to it here as well so if anyone came across this question they'd see the response as well:

Thanks!

I hear ya! I'll make sure our product manager takes a look at this as well. Thanks for the input!

Hi Marcus! This is a really great idea. We've actually passed this thread onto our Q&A product manager so we can get it in the queue. It will take a bit of work but it would be really beneficial to the community. Thanks for the idea!

Yep! As Mark answered, check out our Keyword Difficulty tool: http://www.seomoz.org/keyword-difficulty - Although it only shows the top 10. But you get lots of data on those top ten sites ranking. Hope this helps!

I find that Facebook can be buggy like that sometimes. Usually if you try back a bit later or the next day you'll see it. I agree with Nick, it's interesting but not data you can do much with. It's cool to see how many times your brand has been talked about, but you don't get much more information than that. At least Facebook is trying to improve and give us more info, maybe the next phase will have even more data.

For now I wouldn't worry too much about it not working, give it a day or so and try again.
