"Apply with LinkedIn" button
-
My client is a recruitment company and they've recently added "Apply with LinkedIn" buttons on their site for candidates. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the effects of adding this to SEO?
I suspect it will have little impact, but thought I should research anyway. After a lot of searching, I can't find much on this topic with specific reference to this button.
I've read LinkedIn are phasing this out too.
Can anyone offer any insight into adding this button?
Thank you in advance.
Paul.

Thank you very much.

Like most social media buttons, any link involved is tagged nofollow. There are really no SEO effects to adding a button like that onto a site.

How can I work out who pressed my Google +1 button?
With Facebook likes it comes up on Facebook, telling you who pressed the 'like' button. You also get the number of people that like it. Is there something like this for the +1 button? I can work it out through webmaster tools, but this is delayed data, unlike the Facebook 'likes' which is instant. Is there a way of knowing who pressed your +1 button straight away, like on Facebook?

Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. Is there value in a presence on them?
I have a client (professional practice) whose father is a marketing professor. He is pushing the client that he should have a professional page on social sites. While I believe having FB likes, shares, Tweet links, +1, etc. on the page, I really am ambivalent about building pages specifically for social media sites.

LinkedIn and SEO -- Is there a relationship?
I've analyzed the link profiles for 12 sites recently. I noticed that none included a link from LinkedIn, though each company had links on LinkedIn (I suspect this is because LinkedIn redirects outbound links). Are links on LinkedIn really good for SEO? (IE DO THEY PASS LINK JUICE !!!!!!!????) SuperStock_1491R-1130365.jpg linkedin.jpg linkedin-243x300.jpg
