What effect does Google Plus Business Pages have on SEO?
-
It looks like Google is putting a definite emphasis on social signals, through Google+ anyway. Has anyone tested the effect of social circles on SEO yet? Same effects as the "magical +1 button?"
+1 on shifting your time and resources to Social Media?
-
I believe it doesn't have a huge impact on SEO as of right now but I think it will sometime in the near future. I'm in the process of making a marketing plan for my clients based on +1's. Furthermore it's not going to hurt to gain +1's now, it's better to be early than late.

I think it's a little too soon to correlate SEO and the Biz pages for plus.google. That being said, the "magical +1 button" will influence seo at a social level. They're including the results in webmaster tools which shows a huge push from google to get SEO's and marketing teams to focus on the +1 aspects. Obviously +1 and the plus.google initiatives combined with SEO will create what I like to call SEOcial. Bridging the two practices into one seamless result for unique results for all users.

Problems with Google Analytics social tracking
Hi folks, Any GA experts out there available to help with a social tracking problem we've got? In short a client is using a ShareThis plugin, but the data we're seeing in GA doesn't correlate at all with the share counts showing on the plugin. Huge discrepancies in fact. Could do with someone taking a look at the page and seeing what part of the tracking code we need to update/fix. We'll make it worth your while. Please PM me if you can help. Thanks! Matt.

Facebook Page not in Search
My Facebook page does not show up within the first 50 results of a search for my brand. I have over 3,000 fans and am relatively active so it should be there. On the second page of SERPs for my brand there is a Facebook page of a spammy looking affiliate with 15 fans. On the third page my Facebook test page appears. Any ideas about what happened with my page? Is it possible Google penalized my Facebook page - and if so, how do I fix that? I checked the admin again and the page is open to the public and when I do a search for "brand facebook" it appears. Thanks for your help!

Employing Pinterest for SEO gain.
Hi I wanted to see if the SEO team have had any feedback from members who have started to use Pinterest. I've had it for a month or so now and I've been adding pins every day since - (quite addictive actually). What is interesting is the gender element to the people who are following and repinning my pins and boards i.e. female. It would be interesting to understand why this the case, why is it so popular with female users. Ultimately I'm tyring to guage the benefits of employing Pinterest for SEO purposes and whether its worth keeping it in my arsenal of social tools. Any insights welcome. http://pinterest.com/visualizations Best David
