Invite a Facebook user to Like a Company Page
-
Hi All,
Was looking at our Facebook company page last night and was going through our recent posts and noticed that the individuals that liked our posts had an "Invite" button next to their name.
I've been testing this and is it true that I can only send an Invite to like my company page if I'm actually friends with the user? The "Invite" button is there for every individual that has liked a post on our page, but I've only had success sending the invite to people I'm connected with.
The frustrating thing about this is that the button changes to "Invited" regardless of whether or not they have actually received the invite.

Hi Brandon!
I've been using and loving this feature on Facebook.
From my experience, you're able to invite any and every person who reacts to your content on Facebook. I've seen great success with it since launch, and it has certainly given us a huge boost to our followers. These are not people that are friends with the admin on Facebook; these are just engaged users.
As for the "invited" issue, I have sent people an invite, but they may not have clicked the notification. I've had my team test it out for me, and it seems that it gives a notification for the user to like the page. Whether or not they click that notification and follow-through is on them. If they haven't received the invite, I would have them update the app. If that doesn't work, I'd check their business support forum for further help.

Facebook Instant Articles - will it hurt SEO?
I am intrigued by Facebook IA and am thinking that putting some of my company articles on it would be beneficial for marketing. Question is, will it hurt SEO if I take an article that is on my website and also submit it to Facebook IA? Will it register as duplicate content in Google? Could it have other benefits/risks?

What percentage of people will Like/Share something on Facebook vs. Liking/Sharing from a website?
I asked this on Quora and am curious what the Moz community has to offer: http://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-people-will-Like-Share-something-on-Facebook-vs-Liking-Sharing-from-a-website If I have a blog post that I share on Facebook and I receive 1,000 Likes and/or Shares, what's the percentage of those Likes/Shares that will come from people interacting with the post in their Facebook news feed vs. people Liking/Sharing the article on my blog? I realize many factors are at play here (type of content, audience, time of day, blog design, etc.) but have there been any studies that attempted to address this question?

Hey I own a few websites and always wondering whats better in terms of SEO. Having a like button directed to my website or having it directed to a fan page of my website. Looks like most Seo tools count the "directed to website". is it because its easier? or is it because its better to SEO? Thanks Idoz

Facebook Shares and the rel="canonical" tag
We use canonical tags for multipart videos, using part 1 of the series as their canonical tag. The logic behind this is that if you have eight parts, it's better for part 1 to get all the link juice for the entire series, so that when someone searches for the main keyword, part 1 is the highest ranked part to appear in search results, and the link juice from every part is aggregated into that one page. The problem is the Facebook made changes to their URL sharing practices to reflect the canonical tag. So as long as the tag is used Facebook ignores the image and description from say part 2, and uses the description from part 1. Can this be waived by using Facebook Open Graph Protocol? Thanks!!

Are Facebook page updates indexed in Google search?
I seem to remember an update where Google said it was going to include Facebook page updates into Google search, but perhaps that was a deal that fell through? If updates ARE appearing in Gooogle search, how do I troubleshoot a Facebook page where they are not?
