He Mike,
Impressive update again! I don’t know about another product creator who keeps improving his products like you. I am really glad about this. Thanks!
One question:Sometimes I see websites in the Google search results who have extra snippets like : shop,login,products opening time etc. This looks very trustworthy and I wonder if I could set this up for affiliates sites as well?
Those are called Sitelinks and Google determines which Sitelinks to use for listings in Search based on Authority, Content, internal and external linking. They are not generated by Rich Snippets.
Ok too bad :). I am not an authority style marketer..thanks
Hi Mike,
Can you tell me when training videos to 3.0 will be available? Also, can you give me/us a status on the WP Syndicator? I know Twitter syndication is being fixed, but I think posting to Deliceous is broke now. I was able to to do 3 or 4 posts to Deliceous, but the last 2 have failed to post.
The SEO Booster 3.0 Training Videos will be available next week. What are you confused about in particular so I can make sure we address it in the training?
As for the Syndicator, sometimes your server (hosting) timeout can affect posting if using a shared host or a server with limited resources. A timeout setting of 30 seconds for example could allow posts to Facebook and Twitter, yet timeout before being able to process the posts to Delicious.
Hosting is always a limiting factor when using any kind of posting engine like this due to the time it takes to process and memory/ cpu power required to do so.
Mike
Confused mostly on the Google Plus panel fields on individual posts. And Open Graph general settings. For WP Syndicator, I went into a post that failed to post to deliceous the first time and ckecked the Publish Post On Delicious: checkbox and clicked the Update button and the plugin still failed to Delicious. I logged in to my Delicious account and the post is not there, just the first few I published initially. Please Advise.
Another question about the WP Syndicator, do I need seperate accounts for each niche I have or just 1 account per network to post for all my niches?
I am very interested in seeing in the training all the local features so I hope they are covered well (I am sure they will be 🙂 ). Thanks for the update Michael!
weren’t you giving a webinar on how to use social booster plugin ?
Yes, the email about it will be coming out tomorrow.

Hi Mike: this is a great plugin….it’s got pretty much everything you need to optimize social sharing…. I also just downloaded the Social Post Syndicator but am unclear as to it’s purpose. I know it says to check the knowledgebase, but I can not find anything there…..I suspect its a brand new plugin? What is the best way to use this syndicator?
The Syndicator plugin allows you to auto post and schedule posts to Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus (via Buffer), Tumblr, and a few other Social Networks as well. It is a very powerful tool for automating your Social Media Management via WordPress.
Mike
I think I understand…. It lets me post to these sites WITHOUT creating a blog post. So for example, if I wanted to just post a few sentences, and NOT create a full blog post, I could use the syndicator for that, correct?
Yes, you are correct. You can create Social Posts which are specifically created for Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, etc.
Mike
