Is using a platform to automatically cross post on the social bookmarking websites good or bad for SEO?

I tend to agree with Valery - it depends a lot on the audience and your engagement. If you're active on a site and have a strong profile, then auto-posting your new content often makes sense. If you're just submitting content to 100s of social bookmarking sites, with no real profile and very low authority, you're not going to accomplish much. Google will likely just ignore it, for the most part.

Hi Melia,
we are using MagicSubmitter since 2 years - we have good results - its like manuel linkbuilding because u can schedule every task (post). MS u can use to pos to almost any side. -
From a pure 'does Google notice and rank this' perspective auto cross-posting doesn't really have a measurable effect that I've seen.
However, it entirely depends on the audience you are publishing to and their level of engagement. If you have people actually reading those social platforms and sharing your content in turn, then it's obviously a slamdunk that you should be doing it. For some clients I've had a tweet live for weeks, getting forwarded around, showing up on blogs, etc.
There's two questions to ask really:
1. Do you have an engaged audience that is going to use this content?
2. How do you tell if it's even being shared/read?
You'll note that I haven't addressed how measurable Google's response to this kind of thing because in my opinion... it isn't really measurable as of yet.

Thanks! How long have you been using Magic Submiter? Have you see any results? Also, what do you recommend on how to use the tool to keep from abusing it? I just want to make sure I am not cross-posting to the point where search engines consider it a spammy technique.

Hi Melia,
we also hav bin using OnlyWire.com - the problem of OnlyWire.com is that they are postin all at 1 time - and all the same so that does not look very natural.You still get links but like I said I dont think google will give the same value to it if they notice that it is automated (all at same time / all same content)
The only tool that works out 4 us to automate some parts of linkbuilding ist
http://www.magicsubmitter.com/ - the page look little spamy but the tool ist the best!hope that did help
-
Thank you for your reply. I am going to use OnlyWire.com.

Should I post my upcoming blog series on my blog or on Google+
I am in the process of writing a series of blog posts covering one subject in more detail. Normally, I would just post my blog posts on my blog, but I have heard and read recently that posting content on Google+ is having very good results. So should I post this series exclusively on my Google+ pages instead with a link back to my blog and site or just focus on posting on my blog as I have done before? Thanks in advance, Peter

Tool to get all the Social Shares for a Domain
Does anyone know of a tool that can get you the total, or close to it, social shares an entire domain has received? I know of... http://www.sharedcount.com/ - but this only gets shares for the entered URL not the entire domain. http://www.pagesort.com/ - this seems to dig a little deeper but not deep enough. I know opensite explorer gets some data as well but still seems very limited.

Lost social share count after migrating blog
Hi, Yesterday I migrated our blog to a new domain. It seems it went smoothly and all 301 redirects were implemented and are working properly, however, the social share count was lost across all posts and has returned to zero. Is there any easy way I can recover our social share counts across the board? I am using the **1-click Retweet/Share/Like **plugin for Wordpress. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thank you, from Russell in South Africa.

Are social signals passed with a 301 redirect
Hi all, A question came up today that I don't think I've seen answered before. We hear all the time how important social sharing metrics are becoming to SEO, but what happens to the social signals of a page when it is 301 redirected? Are the social signals forwarded on in the same manner as link juice? Has anyone ever seen any experiments carried out around this before? Thanks very much in advance for any information shared. Cheers.

Social Media Marketing focus and priorities for SEO
Hello Mozzers, I'm looking at Social Media Marketing and wondering what counts for most in terms of SEO - (A) shares and likes from specific web pages, or (B) followers, likes, etc., on social media profile pages? What does Google measure vis-a-vis your website? Also, regarding Twitter, if a twitterer forwards on a tweet manually (by inserting RT) - and his RT is then shared, does that count for anything, or is it better for clients if RTweeters simply press the RT button. And should I include URLs in tweets, facebook posts, etc? And do backlinks help beyond increasing website visitor numbers - do any of the social media marketing tools pass juice back to websites via backlinks? Thanks in advance :), Luke
