Hello,

Social signals are good for you SEO rankings right?
So I was wondering can't this easily be faked? There are sites like addmefast or bighits4u that offer you the opportunity to exchange social signals. You like someones page, post, follow a person and in echange you get credits.

You can than spend those credits to do the same for your own sites/pages.

You can than easily let people like your site, ore share your site on facebook, twitter, google plus and others. Would this also improve your rankings or does google know about this?

    Likes are not counted as highly as people sharing your site content. Be sure to include share buttons to make it easy for people to share your content on the social networks.

    I don't know for sure, but sites like addmefast etc are probably discounted by google.

      Yes I know shares are better.

      It would make sense if they are discounted however how would they know because the people will share those sites on there own profiles right?
      Maybe because those people will share a lot of sites that the quality will be less

    You start out with a false statement, then make another statement that proves why
    it's false.

    Social signals have nothing to do with SEO.

    Why is this such a trending idiotic topic?
