Social data for links
-
Hey can anyone recommend a tools out there, which can look at a list of urls (over 20+) and it will show the social stats for each url (e.g. number of Facebook Shares, Tweets, etc)?
Or a tool which searchers within a certain category or niche (might be based on the keyword you entered), and finds the most shared content?
Cheers,
Chris

If the URLs you want sharing metrics for are in an RSS feed, you can use this tool: http://www.rypmarketing.com/tools/rss-social-analyzer.php

In what sense do you mean not accurate, both tools get their data via the APIs of all the social networks. However as these reports are not generated on the fly it could be that URLs crawled at the front of a crawl could be in accurate when a crawl finishes.

Hi guys, thanks for your responses.
I've used both social crawytics and shared count in the past. I didn't find them very accurate.
Does anyone know of any alternatives?

Hi Chris
To answer your first question, SharedCount.com will give you a list of all of the key metrics for a URL.
If you want to get the data by bulk, there's this terrific guide on Monchito on how you can setup an excel sheet to check thousands of URLs really quickly.
Hope this helps!

Hi Chris,
Have you tried SocialCrawlytics? It will crawl your site and checks the nr of shares/ likes/ tweets for all the pages found on the domain. Very helpful!

Can Hootsuite Really Monitor Competition Activity Across the Facebook, Linked & Twitter?
I'm going round and round in circles with this one as everytime I ask Hootsuite they tell me the same thing and it does not work so here we go... I want to monitor another competitors social media activity. Specifically i want to see if they are active in Facebook, Twitter & Linked in. But am i right in saying you can only monitor social activity of a competitor if you can connect Hootsuite to there social media account via a stream. Put another way imagine Lacoste say - "Right give me a report on what Nike is doing on facebook". Is Hootsuite useless unless you can connect it to Nikes Favebook business page? My misery is best explained by this url - http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/tracking-via-hootsuite-3jpg_zps2fa47469.jpg If Hootsuite has this limitation then whats the point in Hootsuite promoting itself as a socail listening tool when as soon as you want to monitor a competitor you hit the proverbial brick wall. Maybe I'm using the wrong tool & hootsuite is limited or I'm a bit thick & it can be done. Any help welcome, I'm likely to be see jumping out of an office window in a town near you very very soon 😉

Images on Social Media - Can they be Optimized?
My company has been sharing images on its Facebook and twitter outlets which are getting a lot of shares. It seems to be the only thing really working for us. Is there a way to optimize this or use it to our advantage for our website? Or is this just something that will help me gain some edge rank in Facebook?

You have a limited budget of $2,000 (US). Do you buy links or create / seed content?
We have a client who is being told by their incumbent supplier that they should renew their annual contract to buy links on 4 domains by their incumbent SEO agency. It will cost approximately $2,000. We are recommending they produce decent content, like a video, an infographic based on data that is exclusively theirs and seed this with bloggers / real world publications / trade press / etc. The client is struggling to make a decision because he's caught between two SEO's with different approaches. He doesn't have the budget for both. He's scared of losing his position in the SERPs. So, I said I'd get some votes from other SEO's. Which would you recommend? Option 1 1,000's of links on 4 domains Option 2 Create link bait Seed using social media GO!
