Best Social Sharing Platform for B2b sites
-
Guess that title of the question says it all. What is the best social platform for dull b2b sites? The kind of content that you wouldn't want to share with your friends and family.... Not that type of content before anyone gets the wrong idea

Result!

Thanks Mat, you have actually given me a great idea for an article.

I've just watched a stunning video about how to de-rag a pump in 2.5 mins! OK - I'll admit you've got a challenge on your hands.
I'll assume for a moment that a link based piece that focuses on all the innuendo surrounding pump deragging is out of the question. However I can't help think that there is a slightly naughty tumblr to be had here pulling off some meme type images.
The video I just watched seemed to be based entirely on the sales pitch of speed. Is that something that you could do an interesting thing around? Maybe a video of a deragging race? Or one of someone deragging a pump in less time than it takes to boil a kettle (ending with them sitting down for a cup of tea to underline the time saving).
Probably not quite right - but it shows that dull topics don't have to be presented in a dull way.

Thanks Mat. Maybe I was approaching the question the wrong way round. I should make the dull content more interesting rather than trying to promote dull content.
If you're interested Google 'pump de-ragging' this is the kind of $£** I have to deal with.
btw: FollowerWonk is a great tool.

I know it's easier said then done, but is there something you can do to make it interesting ? Think some sort of interesting infographics or something that could make it interesting enough to be shared. That reminds me of another seomoz user, who's active here and also written about it - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/a-small-success-story-inspired-by-seomoz-and-its-contributors

Wow - sounds like a fun project! Are people really going to share anything that dull though? Sounds like the content is the issue not the platform.
I'll assume you mean "niche" rather than "dull". If it is interesting to the target audience then you have a chance. If not then you're stuffed whatever platform you use. So - interesting, but only if you are the right type of geek.
You just need to find where those geeks are hanging out. I tend to find twitter is good for those smaller niche groups, but that is partly because they are easier to find thanks to tools like followerwonk. It is very dependent on the niche though.

How to migrate social likes when moving blog domain?
Hi, Our blog currently is hosted at wordpress.com and we are planning to move it under mysite.com/blog. I've noticed that at the moment in the existing individual articles there are social likes for the reader to likes/follow the page. And we do have some likes from these social buttons e.g. in a particular article I receive 4 twitter likes/5 facebook likes from those social media buttons after the article body. After moving the blog would the articles lose the social likes? How would I manage it not to? I know that there is a wordpress plugin available to purchase: http://store.wordpress.com/premium-upgrades/redirect/ If I purchase it would it resolve my problem? Please help Thanks!

Why isn't SEOMoz using Wistia's social sharing feautes?
I noticed that SEOMoz does not make use of Wistia's social sharing buttons such as a Facebook Like button. Is there any disadvantage to using the like button via Wistia rather than copy/pasting it in static HTML?

Synnd.com and Related Sites
What is everyone thoughts on Synnd.com and other sites that try to manipulate the "social signals" aspect of SEO. Am I right for thinking that it is waste of time because it is not related to your niche and all the accounts in the network are just spam accounts with lots of spammy looking links that add no value. I just feel time spent getting a retweet about your site from related authority sites would do far more than a ton of crap ones.

How are the metrics measured in Open Site Explorer?
I am using Open Site Explorer to measure some metrics. The Facebook Shares, Facebook Likes, Tweets, and Google +1 metrics make no sense to me. Where and how are these being pulled? Is there a timeframe attached? Can I assign a timeframe to them? I have a ShareThis account that states one of my pages was liked over 3000 times but the metrics say 1 like. Very confused. Thanks for any help! Ari
