Multiple Social Media Accounts
-
If I use multiple social media accounts to share-reshare on facebook, to increase the number of people that see my posts, do I need to somehow mask my IP from facebook/google?
I only have one personal facebook account right now. I have been reading and am speculating that most SEO's use several facebook accounts. I know you have to build a facebook account that looks/feels real, but do you have to mask your IP address somehow to stop facebook/google from realizing you are one in the same...

Excellent response.
I am committed to writing great content in my niche. I know when people read it, I will indeed get a lot of real shares/likes. My primary concern is making sure people read it through a social push. I've read about the Facebook "edge algo." I need comments and shares to make sure the blog I am sharing gets on people's news feed.
I can't get real shares/likes if I don't have traffic to the blog. I respect your response. Can you give me some advice on getting traffic outside of social media shares? I am not able to generate through organic rank yet. My site is on real estate sales/technology (seo/webdesign). Yes it is different. Please advise
I value the way you don't dismiss the idea but instead explain that another activity would be more productive. Please continue to assist me!

OK Joseph, I think I need to break it down a bit from a point of view.
First, I am not sure what you mean by SEOMOZ says that seo signals are roughly 8% of SERPS and growing. If you are speaking of on page social signals, that is an opinion of a reasonable group of SEO pros.
But, you have to define that and you have to understand there is more than I got 100 likes. If you read a really good post IMO on moz by Philip Petrescu - The Impact of Authoritative Links, Mentions, and Shares on Rankings you will see that there is a lot more than it being a share from thirty FB pages. I think, that you have to read what he says first is the importance of fresh content. (We have 8 copywriters who are good on staff and produce some serious content so I know he is correct). Then, while social media mentions are important, the next piece is WHO is mentioning it? If you get a share from Guy Kawasaki or someone of similar ilk, you will likely get a lot more 'weight' from that than from your sites.
But, even that is not the issue. The issue is: What is your strategy? What amount of your time is spent manipulating a bunch of FB, Twitter, G+ sites? 8%, is IMO a massive waste of time. I would get further with content creation and that content would get legit shares, tweets, etc.
In building a site or improving it, I suggest that you decide how you are going to improve it ahead of time. What time will be devoted to what? When we take on a client or create a company owned property, we do not start until we know where we want to go and how we want to get there. In doing that we are forced to look at cost benefit within various parts of SEO, etc.
So, yes, you can put up a ton and IMO I do not think that Google per se is tracking Cblocks, servers, etc. right this second in terms of social ranking manipulation. (The reason I think this is that in order to grow that social account, there is work involved and to build 30 and handle them is not good time use.).
I think you would be better served creating high quality content for the vertical that begs people to use it/like it/share it.
But, again, its just an opinion.
Best,
Robert

When someone shares a facebook comment that contains a backlink to a page with a blog, then there is SEO benefit in the share, right? There is also the benefit of more exposure, right?
I mean if I operate 30 facebook account then I can share my content 30 times, isn't that a significant seo benefit? SEOMOZ says that seo signals are roughly 8% of SERPS and growing.
The things that google picks up on are shares/likes, right? Having 30 identities is 30 shares/likes when I post.
Please assist Robert

Joseph,
I think that its a reasonable question and will give my opinion(s):
First, I don't see the need to have multiple FB/G+ accounts for us or for our clients. I think then you are back to what is the value of it, isn't it just gaming the system, etc. I think if you have great content and do not over commercialize you will get a good result.
Then, as to the masked IP address, etc. I just don't see that as necessary even if you are doing the other. At some point, I think we end up trying to fix really low % issues and that it takes us away from endeavors that would better improve our rankings.
IMO
Thanks

Managing Multiple Instagram Accounts
If managing a number of client's Instagram accounts, it seems using an app on a desktop might be more efficient than continually logging in and out of Instagram on a smartphone. Can anyone suggest though suitable apps that actually enable this to be done effectively for multiple clients? Ideally managing all on the one platform without having to sign in and out would be ideal. Also a free app would obviously be preferred to paid, but open to both.

SaaS to manage Several Google Places/G+ accounts
Hi, how are you? I have a client that is a company that has aproximately 30 franchises. For each franchise, I created a Google Places (now My Business) profile, and then for each profile I have a G+ profile. The problem is that I need a SaaS or a software that allows me to post in each of those profiles automaticaly, like Hootsuite (when I enter with the account I have registered the Places profiles, it catches the G+ profile of that person, not the GPlaces accounts). Do you know any? Thanks!

Social Signals, do they help? Looking for a solid Yes or No.
Hi, I've read so much lately about social signals and got basically 3 completely different responses. 1. Yes they are going to over take normal link building in 2013 so get on it. 2. Yeah they do help with rankings but not massively, don't focus to much on it. 3. Na they don't help, you need to gain 1000's of signals and even then it will be a short SERP increase and then back down you go. So... What im looking for now is a straight up Yes or No, should you be on social signals now? Should time spent on gaining social signals be increased? If your doing 10% of your time on social should this percent now shift to a larger percentage? Cheers

Social Media and Local Search results
Hello, I have profiles in several social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. When I search with my name on google.com the profiles are showing on the first page, but when I do a local search, the profiles start showing in the end of the second page. I'm very active in my social media profiles, and I don't know why is this happening. How long does it take for the profiles to show on the first page in local search? Can I do anything to speed up the process?
