Social channels, tools sites for promoting a blog or article
-
Hello,
I would like to promote blogs, articles etc.
Can you give me some tips, advice on how to promote these?
I guess everyone starts with Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
After that, Reddit, StumbleUpon.
Any other good ways (penguin proof) to promote a blog, article etc?
Any tools you use: SocialOomph or something similar?
Thanks!

In addition to everything that Anthony said (AKA, build relationships) you can also promote the blog article through writing other guest blog articles. I know this is going to take a lot of work, but that's what inbound marketers are good at... Hustle.
Find someone who will let you write a guest post for their site, and then fiind a way to organiclly mention your blog article in the middle of your guest post. This will help your first blog article rank higher in SERPS, and it will send more refferal traffic to your blog.
Good luck.

Hi Thomas,
I think the key to promoting a blog online is to build some online relationships first. If you just set-up a twitter page and a facebook page, you will essentially be broadcasting to no one.
Create your accounts and interact with the people who you want to read your blog posts. Comment on their blog posts, help them find useful articles, thank-them for sharing something interesting. Get them to notice you and to become friends. In return, they will take a look at your content and share it if it is worth sharing.
I've had way more success interacting with people than just submitting a post to a site. If you are not a part of the 'community' on the platform you are sharing on, your post/tweet/submission will get very little attention.

Are Social tags beyond Structured Data still required?
Hello: I have a client that has Structured data set up correctly to include their social profiles for FB, Twitter, and Google+. But when I run an audit tool it tells me that they need < re=Publisher > tag for Google Plus. My understanding is that we don't need any additional code beyond the Structured Data tags. Is that correct? Thank you Rosemary

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.

Finding authoritative sources on Google+ - is there a tool?
I'm looking for a way to find authoritative sources on Google+ on certain subjects. I define an authoritative source as someone who is in a lot of people's circles, and the content they curate gets shared, +1, and commented a lot. The subjects are variable, but for an example: What's the best way to find authoritative sources on Google+ on the subject of auto technology. Does anyone know of a tool that can do this?

What Social Media Buttons/Links When & Where?
Our web development team members are having a debate on when and where to add various social media buttons / links. The crux of the debate is when does adding various calls to social media services become detrimental to page load time. We have really been focusing recently on optimizing page load speed using YSlow and Google Page Speed tools to tweak templates and pages as much as possible. Our webmaster argues that we should be selective on what pages we add Google+, Facebook LIKE, Twitter/Follow buttons. e.g. just 'important' pages such as the home page. Here is a forum link that speaks of this... http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4358033.htm Bottom line? What are your thoughts on when and where to place various social media buttons and links for Google+, Facebook LIKE and Twitter/Follow. Thanks,

Roy McClean P.S. We have pretty much agreed to use AddThis button set on our clients' blog pages that includes FB LIKE and SEND, Google+, Twitter and the AddThis general share buttons.1 -

Google Plus for Website - Should the button be available on the homepage or just blog posts and other sticky content?
I am trying to understand if I should add the Google +1 button to my client's homepages in addition to "sticky" content. Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.
