Infographic/Link Bait idea. Unrelated to my site though, suggestions?
-
Question, been thinking of some link bait infographic ideas for my site www.jobshadow.com
I've got a couple in the careers/job niche but the one I think would be best is completely unrelated.
I study free market economics a lot and want to debunk the whole 'deflation' debate that is on the news these days.
The overall gist would be to do so with a history of Apple products showing why falling prices aren't anything to be afraid of.
Given that it's econ/techie related(even non econ people would find this graphic neat I think) and not specific to the 'career hunting' and job searching my site is I'm curious what people suggest.
Give it a shot and release on our blog anyway? Or trade it to someone else in a more relative niche(assuming the graphic gets built, I know ideas are relatively cheap:).

Hey, great thoughts. Much appreciated!
I could do a survey around job satisfaction pretty easy. Have tons of data there. Was looking into that.
What did you mean by the 'ego bait angle' and top 10 lists? Sounds interesting.
Also, could you elaborate on the inspring people with online presence/profiles. Those seem pretty intriguing/possible.
Thanks!

Or talk about the economic impact of deflation and its effect on the job market...

Hi astahl11,
If you're looking to promote infographics on your blog I would personally be aiming for related topics, whilst the 'deflation' debate around tech products sounds interesting I think you may struggle to get any traction with an unrelated site behind it as such.
Have you explored all the various areas your site could offer in terms of infographic topics?
-
As your site is about mentoring and shadowing a career path, perhaps something along the lines of inspiring people with online presence/profiles. To test the water you could try some top 10 style lists, with more of an ego bait angle perhaps?
-
Stats surrounding apprenticeships and getting young people started in new careers?
-
A survey surrounding job satisfaction? And linking that to stats about changing your career path - how many people have tried it, how many have succeeded, what route did they follow, etc?
Hope that helps in some way.
Thanks, Greg -

By all means produce it and have it on your site. Not only will it bring the possibility of traffic and links, but you are also expanding your brand presence online.
Be sure to include the embed code so that others can link use your image, and it will link to your site.
Good luck!

Main Site Social Media SEO impact on different product specific site
Hi, Few months ago I have created a minisite for a particular product category for the online store Giftcampaign.es with a different domain name. The idea was to focus this minisite on selling personalized usb memories and to have a different design, functionality and content that the main one (the site is http://www.usbpersonalizado.es). What I have done here is to link on my site the Social Markers of Facebook and LinkedIn of the parent site GiftCampaign.es, as we are not planning to open and maintain an account for those social networks, and we are already maintaining the ones for the parent site. I would like to know if the SEO Positioning of my minisite can benefit from the links of the Social Networks of the parent site or whether it makes not really an impact in SEO positioning unless I create and maintain new social network accounts for the different minisites that I create with different domain names. I look forward for your response. Best regards, Oriol .

Social media signals from Facebook comment plugin on your site?
If you are using the Facebook social plugin on your site like ThinkGeek does for comments: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ed6b/ Are there any positive social signals from people leaving comments that could impact the SEO of the page? I searched the text of some comments in quotations in Google and it appears that the first few comments are indexed but most are not.

Short Facebook page name/vanity URL
Does anyone know how to go about getting a page name on Facebook of less than 5 characters? I saw Moz was able to claim facebook.com/moz (BTW, congrats on the redesign!), and many other brands also have claimed page names under 5 characters. Has anyone else had success claiming a short page name? Do you have to know the right person at Facebook, or are there other requirements? We have around 35K likes on our page, and our site gets a pretty good amount of traffic. My boss doesn't like any of my ideas that are 5+ characters... she really wants the short URL. If anyone has any insights on what I need to do (or who I need to talk to at Facebook), I'd really appreciate it!

How to autofollow anyone who tweets/retweets my blog?
I'm not sure if here is the right place for this Q but since followerwonk is one of the SEOmoz tools, I thought I'd try. I want to autofollow anyone who tweets or retweets specific URLs (my blog posts on a large blog). Does anyone know how to do this? They often don't @mention me in the tweets, I just see them all on topsy. I get 50-100 a day and at the moment have been manually going through and following all those people. It's been a useful exercise so far to see what types of people are tweeting my stuff, but now it has got super tedious!
