      Hello,

      Do you recommend using the buttons (facebook, twitter and google +1) on pages with adult content?

      For adult seo marketing google uses this metric?

      Thanks,

          Think about it but Facebook Adult content is banned via user streams so if some one likes content then it is aggainst policy.

          But yes Twitter and google+ the rules are a bit more relaxed in this area so I guess adult web master have been getting away with it and seeing good results.

          I read an article recently saying that Tumblr was a very popular social place to syndicate adult based content too, so that could also be an options possible.

          Sorry I do not really deal in the adult niche so I am not an expert I only read bits and piece online 😃

            Erica, good testing insight.

            I could not find anything on Twitter either...I recall at SMX West one of the speakers was discussing banned content and I believe it included adult links.

              I couldn't find anything if Twitter does have rules against adult sites.

              I think it is worth it. Certainly people who run adult sites network together and sites that allow anonymous usernames were people can have their hidden accounts from people who don't want their adult content interests under their real names. Which give Google +1's argument for real names only, it might not be worth your time with them.

              I'd set up a test on a couple popular content pages and compare if people do indeed share if there are buttons that allow them to do so and if the rate is at a level to justify doing it on all your pages.

              I'd also take a look at your current analytics to see what percentage of your traffic is coming from socials sites people have more manually put in and if that traffic is worth it.

                and twitter?
                But addressed the question of the topic, it is worth letting the social buttons to allow adult content?

                It is worthwhile to make some buttons to social sites?

                  Google +1 doesn't have any regulations against adult sites.

                        Google Indexed Images: Website Vs Social Media

                        I use Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram to post images that are already featured on my website. I have been following a routine of uploading the images to these social media platforms only after I can see Google has indexed the image from my original site. My website is ecommerce and the product images drive sales more than any other factor. The thinking behind my method was that when these images are posted on Pinterest, Twitter and the various Instagram crawler sites (I realise Instagram images aren’t indexed directly), Google would recognise that the image was already attributed to my website. The ‘duplicate’ image would not therefore be indexed and the originally uploaded website image would remain in ‘Google Images’. After completing various searches and reviewing other Q&A’s on Moz, it seems as though this is in no way guaranteed and images reposted on social media platforms may still replace the already indexed image from the website. I am assuming this is because Google views these platforms as more authoritative than mine. I usually change the image by adding logos, text, backgrounds, borders etc before posting on Pinterest and this seems to have worked most of the time (both the original and ‘amended for Pinterest’ versions are often indexed) but images posted on other platforms are usually identical. Does it make sense to continue with my method or am I shooting myself in the foot by reposting these images on social media at all? I obviously want customers searching for products, who then click on an image, to be directed to my site rather than one of my social media pages or worse, an image reposting site. Additionally, If I post images on social media before they are uploaded to my website (for example to tease a product launch), would Google likely class these images as the ‘original’ and therefore be less likely to index the website version of the image once it is uploaded? Any thoughts are appreciated.

                        On a website, is the most effective user experience for the social media icons to open new tabs?

                        There is debate around what is most effective for user experience. When a user clicks on the social media icons on our site, should a new tab be opened for the social media page or should the website redirect to the social media page?

                        Deleting Poor Performing Social Media Accounts for Businesses?

                        I'm the Internet Marketing Manager for an ad agency and in charge of not only our social media and SEO but advising and hooking up clients with successful campaigns. I've taken the liberty of signing us up for almost every major social media account. Some are very successful (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, Vimeo is ok (we use it over YouTube), Vine is picking up) and others are very not doing well (Flickr, Foursquare, YouTube really is low, Google+ is very mediocre).  I’ve been wondering if it would be more beneficial to just delete certain accounts.  I think I need to keep Google+ (Google values it and we are not doing terribly on it) but all the others listed in the bad column I think are really cancerous to our SEO (and make us look bad b/c we are doing poorly on them) but I really don’t know.  I used them kind of to see if they would work for us and to demonstrate that we knew what we were doing in these social networks, but I think they may be doing us more harm than good both from a PR standpoint and SEO.  Doesn't it hurt your website for Google to see poor performing social media accounts, just as the opposite would be true (good sm accounts and mention/activity would give you klout & SEO...)? What do you think? I'm no novice but no master either.  Love this forum.  Thanks in advance.

                        UK home improvement - building links or social shares?

                        Hi We are a regional UK installer of double glazing windows, doors and conservatories and I am looking to build the amount of quality links to the website to help improve our search position - 1st page for keywords such as conservatories, double glazing, pvc doors, pvc windows, composite doors What is the best approach to do this? Search for double glazing inurl:forum pvc doors inurl:forum and locate forums, but what is the best approach answer questions with the web address in the signature of the post? Looking at the major national players in opensite explorer such as anglianhome.co.uk
                        safestyle-windows.co.uk
                        greenwayupvc.com
                        everest.co.uk
                        valuedoorsuk.co.uk
                        yaledoor.co.uk/ Their backlink profiles look quite spammy? as they mostly point to web directories So is there a gap that I can take advantage of? We have little budget for sponsored articles on sites like what anglian have been doing looking at the backlinks but are there any other articles that I could write for our site that would help improve quality links to the site for keywords such as conservatories, double glazing, pvc doors, pvc windows, composite doors Same with their social profiles they seem quite poor, what would be the best approach on Facebook and Twitter to attract local followers - the majority of social followers I have seen have been fellow marketers or rival companies on the follower lists of twitter Many Thanks

                        Myth or Fact: Social Media Dashboards Bad for SEO?

                        I want to start using HootSuite to pre-schedule Facebook/Twitter updates, but am plagued by nagging concerns because I have heard  that  HootSuite may impact SEO in a negative way. Is this truth or bull? If it i true, how so, specifically?  And can anything be done to mitigate the negative SEO factors? Also, does anyone prefer another dashboard over HootSuite? Thanks in advance for your inputs!

                        Social Sharing - Reducing Button Size

                        I'm looking at implementing social sharing buttons throughout a site that I'm working on. I've souced the icons from one of the well known providers however when I test the pages with Firebug I get this: <colgroup><col width="303"> <col width="58"> <col width="86"></colgroup>
                        | Version | File Size | Transfer Size |
                        | | | |
                        | Home Page With Social Media Buttons | 1.02MB | 487.7kB |
                        | Home Page Without Social Media Buttons | 238.3kB | 218.8kB | As you can see the buttons alone have a rather alarming impact on the file/transfer size. I want to reduce the size, has anyone got any ideas/been here before? Justin
