Facebook Like Button or Like Box
-
Hi,
A client has a FB like button on their website but is frustrated that those "likes" are disconnected from their company FB page.
It is possible that they could change their website like button, to a like box, which will then mean people are liking their FB page and give them a greater opportunity for on-going engagement through FB.
However, from an SEO perspective is it better for them to attract likes & potential sharing of their website content rather than their FB content?
Thanks.

IMO a simple like button in the header of the website works great. This way it's easy for a user to "like" you from any page in the site, still keeps them on your website (rather than redirect to fb page), and retains their attention as you make future fb posts.

Hi Blaine,
From a purely SEO prospective, it's better to share just the site's link on Facebook.
However!
I personally prefer to have** people like a Facebook account** because it allows your todirectly interact with visitors following your site. And it's great for visitor retention and brand loyalty.
Regards,
Ben

Hi guys, I need to create a subscribe end-off to my YouTube videos. I need something like this - https://www.youtube.com/user/SeattleCoffeeGear - where the red gear at the bottom pops up with a bright red "subscribe" CTA. How do I do this?

Facebook Share from personal wall to fan page
Is it possible to share a post from someone's personal FB wall to a company fan page if they have the permissions set to allow this? I often get a message that a share was denied and I'm not sure if shares from personal to business fan pages are always denied or if this is controlled by the person's privacy settings.

Where is the Link Site button on Google+?
I want my content authors to be able to associate their work with their Google+ profile. I read about an update rolled out in June that included a Link Site function on the Edit Profile -- About Tab. I don't see where to do this. Can anyone help me figure out how to enable this function?

I can't see the new Facebook Insights.
Is anyone else having trouble seeing the new Facebook Insights page? If I click on Insights I get a message at the top that says, "Take me to the new Page Insights" but if I click on it it does nothing. Apparently people are "talking about me" and I can't see the new stats!

Facebook code used in Huffington Post
I like the call-to-action button that HuffPo uses on its FB button, where with one click, a user on their site can 'Like' their main page on Facebook without actually having to go there (assuming that they're logged in, of course). I'd love to use it on my site but... I'm trying to understand how this works. It seems like it's a custom wrapper, as i'm not seeing the toolset in dev tools (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ etc) Anyone know about this?
