Legitimate Social Exchange groups or sites?
-
I know, I know, why am I even asking, but I have to it's just in my nature. Are there any legitimate Social Exchange groups or sites where we can exchanges shares, +1's & retweets, ect.

Yeah, I'm not really interested in buying "likes", I am looking for other people that are interested in Social Networking. A network the size of this forum can provide enough real social profiles to create a powerful group.

I'd be careful here Technically you can go to ebay and buy x,000 likes for almost nothing, but they are useless in my opinion and may get you banned from social sites. Exchanging shares is probably not much good e.g. in Twitter your follower ratio is important for ranking. If you have as many followers as you follow, it doesn't necessarily say much good. Also if you drop followers too fast, you can get a closed account from twitter. I wouldn't play around with G+ either. They can log IP addresses and probably tie these in to their search results - they'll know if someone opens 100 G+ accounts from the same/ similar IP in a second, and you don't know whether the people you share with are smart enough to fake IP's etc. I'd really recommend going for genuine followers and participating actively in forums related to whichever industry you're trying to target. Also having 10,000 Likes is a start, but what if nobody ever posts on your page? Spiders like fresh content so again I'd go for an honest approach, as you'll have people engaged with your website better.

Why not try Fiverr?
For $5 you can buy +1s, shares, retweets, etc.... Just beware, as you probably know from the intro of your questions - these are likely to look good in terms of numbers (so potentially helpful for your branding) but are pretty worthless for anything else.

Social Management Software
Hi all Just wondering, what service do you use to manage multiple social profiles ( in excess of 50). Curious as we have used http://commun.it for twitter accounts, but gets tedious as we need to log in on several different accounts, although great service Also use Hootsuite but reporting is terrible ... Really looking for some platform that offers lots of account management, building networks while offers decent reporting. And preferably some platform that expands beyond Twitter and FB only Thanks in advance John

How important are social signals to SEO?
How important are social signals to SEO? Are generating social signals a must? It seems every website out there has some sort of social sharing tool installed, everyone is after a like or a tweet. Are we now looking at getting as many likes/tweets etc from real accounts as possible because actually they effect SERP's a lot. Cheers

Very interesting test on social signals, thoughts?
According to this inforgraphic I found on Unbounce, the most powerful social signal is Google-Plus followers followed by Google-Plus votes. Now these results look amazing, so if this test is correct I need to gather 100 business page followers and a shed load of plus votes and I should see big movement in the SERP's? Thoughts? http://www.tastyplacement.com/wp-content/uploads/testing-social-signals.jpg testing-social-signals.jpg

Automating the brainless tasks of Social Media Management
I'm talking about Scheduling Tweets Scheduling FB Updates I'm sure I'll be pointed to some good resources for the above but what I really need is a tool that allows me to sort out queries/complains/requests that I would need to pass on to my client. Something that lets me tag a comment and gathers it with complete data like user name, time, comment etc. Does something like this exist?! Similarly, something that allows you to filter words that should be treated as spam. Also, suggestions on what other "brainless" tasks of SMM should be/can be automated would be appreciated. Regards, Edit: No responses as yet! Whats up Mozzers?
