GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 27 - February 2014

#10 bigspudz24 (Private Member) I used to have quite a nice community going on one of my sites’ Facebook pages. It had plenty of interaction and didn’t involve a high ratio of spamming site pages. However, it was very time consuming and I wasn’t really rewarded for the time I put into it. Nowadays Facebook does barely anything for us. Over 3,000 natural fans, but any update we make which includes a link to our site will be seen by no more than 2 percent of our fan base. We normally get no more than around 30 clicks through to our site per day and that can be after posting four or five new articles. “ Reply With Quote #11 RacingJim (Public Member) It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it. Never has this been truer than with social media. “ Reply With Quote #9 vijaygaya (Private Member) We usually post three posts in a week on Facebook or Google+. “ Reply With Quote FROM THE GPWA FORUMS #13 Rostick (Private Member) Daily and multiple times per day, but I have constantly updated content. “ Reply With Quote #14 GaryTheScubaGuy (SEO Moderator) If you only have one or a small number of sites to maintain I would set up auto-tweets (Tweet Attack, TweetAdder or even Twitter itself) to post 1-2 tweets per day for a few days using a keyword as content and hashtag. You’ll be impressed with the results. Use Analytics, Monitter, TweetReach and/or a URL shortener to track distribution, shares, retweets and actual reach. Raven has a nice combo tool for a premium. Further to this I use IFTTT.com to post to Facebook, Tumblr and a few other social media venues to repost. WordPress is great for all of this as there are plenty of automated tools besides IFTTT that will auto- post. I use this one – http://gpwa.org/370 – but I also tick the “auto-post” box while posting. “ Reply With Quote #15 GaryTheScubaGuy (SEO Moderator) Originally Posted by UltimatePokerBonus Wouldn’t that look a little suspicious having the same post on 30+ sites? I do see Facebook and Twitter allow you to sync up, which I haven’t tried yet. For me, my Facebook posts can be longer than what Twitter allows so that could be a problem. Google doesn’t see the association between the accounts in most cases. And if this were the case, Google (which owns Wildfire) wouldn’t have developed apps that are specifically designed to do this. “ Reply With Quote From the GPWA forum
