Twitter Cards via Wordpress/Yoast
-
Hi
I had set up a Twitter card via Yoast interface in clients Wordpress site but now want to change the summary copy.
I have also had a look at Tiwtter dev zone and cant see any way of editing via that
Does anyone know how to do this (edit the twitter card) since seems that once its set up via Yoast you cant edit it ?
Cheers
Dan

any ideas anyone ?

The Yoast window: > Social > Twitter
just shows the below so cant see anyway to edit it and i did add a default description originally which, if i remember correct just shows when not displaying/tweeting a page etc (which does use the info on the page then)
Note that for the Twitter Cards to work, you have to check the box below and then validate your Twitter Cards through the Twitter Card Validator.
<label for="twitter">Add Twitter card meta data</label>
Add Twitter card meta data to your site's section.
<label class="textinput" for="twitter_site">Site Twitter Username: Client account name</label>
<label class="select" for="twitter_card_type">The default card type to use:</label> <select class="select" name="wpseo_social[twitter_card_type]"><option value="summary">Summary</option> <option selected="selected" value="summary_large_image">Summary with large image</option></select> -
You should be able to edit this via Yoast, what info is currently in the summary this this not taken from the blog post / page content?

SaaS to manage Several Google Places/G+ accounts
Hi, how are you? I have a client that is a company that has aproximately 30 franchises. For each franchise, I created a Google Places (now My Business) profile, and then for each profile I have a G+ profile. The problem is that I need a SaaS or a software that allows me to post in each of those profiles automaticaly, like Hootsuite (when I enter with the account I have registered the Places profiles, it catches the G+ profile of that person, not the GPlaces accounts). Do you know any? Thanks!

Content Marketing and Twitter
Hello, I'd like to improve how I use twitter for pushing a piece of content. Here's what I am planning to do currently: First, we created a useful piece of content for a niche where we'll be appealing to the humanitarian side of thing. Nothing like this piece of content is on the web. The subject is not mouthwateringly attractive to other websites, but it is good, very useful, authoritative and uses the information we have in our niche. For Twitter, we plan to pick a website carefully that could use our content and 1. of course follow that site on twitter 2. Retweet 2 or 3 relevant good tweets the site has put out. If the person I want to contact has a twitter account, retweet some of his too. 3. Tweet a general tweet about a good article or blog post the site has with a link to the site and the article. 4. Tweet at a specific person in the site's company (or to the general twitter account if there isn't anyone specific) asking if they need help with content if it is well written and useful, then later tweeting introducing our article. Email will also be used. I'm really new to using twitter for content marketing, any help is appreciated. Facebook liking/sharing as well as blog comment posting along with adding to g plus circles will also be used. Thanks.

Facebook shares/likes not showing correctly
Hi guys, I've been running searches on Opensiteexplorer for our site www(dot)mobileunlocked(dot)com and am seeing Facebook shares as 21 and 0 Likes. However, we have 2857 people who have liked our page on Facebook. I'm concerned that the search engines also aren't seeing our relationship with our true number so is there anything I can do to make sure this is being picked up? Thanks.

Blogger vs wordpress from SEO perspective
Blogger is under the google umbrella and of course will be in line with google's strategic moves in the future.That includes commenting with google plus accounts and any future integrations. (google plus will HUGE in the future when it comes to SEO)currently there is no way to host blogger on your own servers, which means all your images and video are not really yours from an SEO perspective. Wordpress however does not have as much technical restrictions, but eventually it will be a major competitor to blogger. You can host it on your own servers as well. So from an SEO perspective which one is better?

Benefits and cons of hosting video content vs hosting via youtube
Hi if a site is hosting its own videos (not embedding them on youtube) is there less benefits then getting youtube to host it, and then embedding the youtube video. For instance: For benefits such as building channel authority, easy to rank the video in the search engines hosted on youtube, better opportunity to increase visitors and traffic and higher chance for the video to spread and rank for the keyword when hosted on youtube. What do you guys think?

How to best promote this content via social media to gain backlinks
I have created this content http://www.musicliveuk.com/live-music/the-worst-function-bands-and-wedding-bands-ever in order to promote it via social media. Ideally I want it to be shared across the web in order to gain backlinks. My question is how can I best do this? I know I can post it on twitter, facebook, google plus etc... but is that it? I'm new to social media and don't really understand how to use it to good effect. By posting it on social networking sites am I risking people copying the content and duplicate content penalties? Any help would be much appreciated!

How to get a link on Twitter box in Huffington Post?
Hey guys, got a question about the Huffington Post and its Twitter widget - see screenshot attached HuffPo seems to be aggregating links somehow under the "Top links on this topic" heading within the Twitter widget. At first I thought this was an official Twitter wdget; http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets However, I can't find it on Twitter's site and I'm starting to think it's a custom widget possibly developed by HuffPo themselves. My question is how do I get my site to rank under their "Top links"? Is it feeding on Twitter presence or is it feeding from Google News or through something else? Many thanks in advance for any light shed on this topic Edit: Link to Huffington Post page example from screenshot Screen%252520shot%2525202011-10-24%252520at%25252017.26.54.png
