Conent Marketing: Link Building Relationships: What to do on facebook
-
Hello,
We've developed a piece of niche content. We're building relationships with sites in our niche for link building. Below is our engagement process. What do we do on facebook (#5) other than 'like' them? Can you give me some exact ideas of what works?
1. Like them on facebook
2. Follow them on Twitter
3. Add them on G+
4. Read their recent blog posts.
5. Comment in their facebook account about what I liked about their latest blog posts and tweet
6. Post helpful blog post comments

How about guest posting? Asking them to allow you to write a quality post on their site helps to build deeper relationships, which may come in handy in the future if you're looking for support and participation from sites within your niche. Moreover, guest posting lets you tap on the audience of other sites, and gets your name known out there.
Here's an article about how Buffer managed to propel itself to success with guest posting: http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2194396/How-Guest-Posting-Propelled-One-Site-From-0-to-100000-Customers. Worth a read!

You can share to your friends not your fans.
I agree that your fans are fan because you are in some niche but your friends could like the blog posts or tweets like you.

I accidentally clicked your "Good Answer" button before I got this resolved. Could you read my comment and give a response? Thanks.

Sounds like that's usually a good strategy.
Except Phillipe, our fans happen to be a total mismatch for this content. Same general area but a total mismatch. What else can I do?

You can share their content and this will increase their exposure to your friends/fans.

Hi, One of our client has a linked in Profile. He set up with his own company email address and he needs to add ma a user so i can update the profile. However, we just couldn't figure out how to do this. I have an email address with the company's url and added it on my profile. I 'liked' the company but i still cannot figure out how i could add my self. I can't login with client's email address as it is also his own linked profile. I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this? Thank you

Facebook and Google+ Not Properly Picked Up
Hello, I have been having issues for some time now getting my Google+ and Facebook activity to show in the social media section of site explorer. Was anyone else having this same issue? I have verified my website to both pages and the Facebook page receives a considerable amount of traffic so it is very confusing to me. Any help is much appreciated. Thank You Steve

Has anyone else noticed a dramatic drop in Facebook post impressions?
One of the clients I manage has over 5,000 Facebook fans. Whenever I'd make a post, it usually would get ~700-1,000 impressions. About two weeks ago I did my first promoted post. Ever since then, all the regular posts I've done have only gotten ~100 impressions . . . out of 5,325! I'm wondering if Facebook, once learning that you are willing to pay for promoted posts, secretly lowers your impression count so that you will pay for promoted posts more often, or if the timing of my promoted post was just a coincidence, and everyone started to see a decrease about two weeks ago. Does anyone know what's going on?

Facebook Share Metrics
Is there a method, program, or app to view how many Facebook shares each page/content has on a website. Is there a plugin if the site is a wordpress blog? I'm looking to see how many shares or top shared content are on a specific website. Thanks!

Anyway to analyse Facebook Success?
Great news, yesterday we had a nice big spike of referrals from facebook, GA shows them all going to a certain article (an online magazine type site), but only shows them as coming from /l.php (Report: Traffic sources->referrals->facebook.com - secondary dimension landing page) Nobody in the office did anything with facebook and that article, so it must be a visitor; any ideas how we can find out any more details about who or why? It would be great to be able to reproduce as in the 4th April saw more FB traffic to us than March!

What's the best way to get links from images?
I have a few images that I have taken recently and I was wondering what might be the best way to use them. Ideally I would like to get a few links or some interest via social networks. I know I've a few options including: adding images directly to the website adding images to Flickr or similar adding images to Google+ adding images to Facebook adding images to twitpic or similar I was also intending in keeping some images to include directly in posts. Should I concentrate posting images directly on the site or use social networks? Which social networks work well for images? How can I use images to get links?

How would you determine the value of a Facebook fan? Not just a Facebook referral, but an actual fan of your business or website. Is there a set of best metrics or a particular model that you suggest?
