Twitter Tool Question
-
I've been searching for a tool that will allow me to send mass tweets to multiple @accounts?
For example, I use Topsy to see who's shared my content and want to send a follow up tweet to everyone who has, but find it time-consuming to do this manually.
What I have in mind is something where I can upload a spreadsheet of Twitter names, write one tweet and for this to be tweeted at everyone on the list.
I haven't found what I'm looking for so far. Does anyone know of such a tool?
-
Yeah I've seen that Chris, thanks. I think it pulls this in from the @connect tab on Twitter.

Hi Matt,
Hootsuite you can add a tab called "mentions" and "retweets" and you can then see anyone that's talking to you and reply from there its a bit more manually maybe but would let you communicate.
You can also track your mentions so over time you can keep an eye on it. My only regret I find with using hoot suite is it would be helpful for a bigger notice of a reply (sound or pop up etc.)
Hope that helps.

Chris, Jonathan, Christy, thanks for your replies. I'm really sorry for such a long delay acknowledging these, I've actually only just realised there were answers to my post.
@Chris, I already use Hootesuite and find it really useful, but for this particular task I don't think it's up to the job. This is the scenario: I created a piece of content that got over 100 tweets. I wanted to very quickly send a follow up tweet to these people, basically to add fuel to the fire and keep the conversation going. Hootesuite does not do this, as far as I am aware.
@Jonathan, I've not used Tweetadder. Sounds interested and could possibly be what I'm looking for. I'll check it out. Thanks for the advice.
@Christy, not simply a thank you tweet as such, but something to continue the discussion and hopefully get more shares for the content. You're right, mass tweets isn't the best way to go about things, but individual tweets was simply not possible on this occasion.
Thanks to all 3 of you for taking the time to reply.

Hi Matt, what did you end up going with?

Hi Matt, do you mean that you want to send the same thank you tweet to multiple people? If so, I highly discourage this. It will be highly obvious to your followers what you are doing, and possibly more insulting than appreciated. Automated DMs and replies can actually cost you followers. If someone takes the time to share your content, and you truly appreciate it, isn't it worth the time to send them a personalized tweet? (And it will definitely encourage them to share your content in the future, ahem.) That said, while you are most likely to maximize engagement if you respond organically -- as soon as possible after your content is shared -- I realize this isn't also practical. If this is the case, I would consider hammering out that list of personalized thank you tweets on a spreadsheet and scheduling them in advance (staggered, so you don't flood your feed with thank yous and overwhelm your followers.) Hootsuite makes it super simple to do this. Hope that helps! (Christy)

I too am not sure if it completely fits, but I use tweetadder.com
I am assuming you want to put in the "@name" at the beginning of each tweet. Tweetadder will let you import a list of tweets, and then it will tweet this out at a schedule (times \ intervals etc). Its also a one off fee.
I use Tweetadder to auto retweet, find followers (relevant), set scheduled tweets, manage followers etc. It is very good.

Not sure if it fits completely fits but have you looked into "hoot suite" ? it has a free trail type thing (so you can at least test). You can submit the same message to multiple accounts.

E-commerce Question
I have a bunch of pages that I want to remove from one of our ecommerce sites www.macdecals.com I understand that it's recommended to check the backlinks of each of these pages to determine if they have any incoming links before removing them, to see if I should even bother doing a 301 or not. (We have a good 404 page) What about checking if the pages have any social media interaction? After removing these pages is it recommended to update and resubmit our sitemap.xml file to Google Webmaster Tools? I feel like once Google Webmaster tools finds the 404s and we have resubmited a sitemap, we can mark all the issues at hand as fixed. Thought? Are we on the right track?

Question on RyanKent's Identifying Link Penalties 2012 Article
I have a question about this article: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/identifying-link-penalties-in-2012 Specifically the Section Titled: Other Google Link Penalties _"Google often manually penalizes sites and does not inform site owners of the penalty. Furthermore, Google makes many algorithm changes each year. Most people are aware of the major algorithm changes, but you should also know Google makes about 50 algorithmic changes each month which could lead to ranking changes or an "algorithmic penalty". With the Penguin update specifically, we are unsure if there will be further refinements and rollouts as has happened with Panda. On May 25th Google rolled out what Search Engine Land calls Penguin 1.1. _ What advice is available for a site owner who wants to know if they have received a link penalty or at risk in the future? Check your anchor text distribution to see if it appears natural. You can perform a fast check in Open Site Explorer of your top 20 links as follows: Go to http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/ Enter in the URL of your site and press <enter>or the SEARCH button</enter> Change your drop down box settings as follows: Show [followed + 301] links from [only external] pages to [pages on this root domain]…..then press the FILTER button. These settings will remove the “nofollow” and internal links which are not evaluated by Google as part of link penalties. You will now see a list of all links to your site which may cause you to incur a penalty. For now, focus only on the Link Anchor Text column. If 50%+ of your top 10 links show the same or very similar anchor text, that is a warning sign of a very unnatural link profile. Of course, a deeper analysis is desirable but this method offers you some idea of the problem in just a few seconds. Hopefully your anchor text distribution looks more natural than the below example. Notice how all the links show anchor text? A natural distribution would show a high percentage of links with simply the site URL. When anchor text is naturally used, it is often far less than ideal." Anyway, with anchor text looking the same - would this have a negative impact if i was syndicating content to 10-15 blogs, or if i used onlyshare and did it to 50 or something. Would this impact me eventaully in a long term sense. I tend to write articles at least weekly for these sites so that i make sure i have fresh content, if me syndicating them/sharing the excerpt to my blog pages w/ anchor pages back to my main article is hurting me by having multiple pages linking back w/ the same exact anchor text, that would be a good thing to know. Any input on this would be much appreciated. Keep in mind i'm not creating 10k blogs and having one blog post on them. They are actively posted to. With my established site they seem to work great- but with a new site, would popping 10-15 links real quick like that set off any alarms? thank you, -Travis Gross

Anyone know if optimal Twitter use frequency for promoting a keyword i.e how much is too much
Have a Twitter account and theres much confusion over Twitters use of planting keywords into posts and have some SEO benefit from this. Wondering if anyone has come accross an effective use of promoting keyterms on by twitter posting and how often is deemed okay? Generally see some twitter users who are obvioulsy promoting keyterms for their buisness or company who put in as much as five to ten posts in any one day for the same keyword, or keyphrase. while this looks spammy surely this is liable to be flagged by the search engines? Appreciate any insights on this.

Is facebook and twitter always a good idea to promote a website and improve Google rankings?
I'm attempting to promote a fresh seafood market / restaurant here on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. I have not found a lot of examples of people using Twitter and Facebook to promote this type of business here. Is it hard to justify the time for return here? One benefit I thought for twitter is we could have tweets displayed on site giving us some dynamic content which would hopefully keep Google spider coming back more regularly is this correct? Is there any link building advantage to using these social media sites?
