    Michelle MacPhearson made a post on her blog on this subject. She cited an interview that Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land had with Bing and the Big G. There were a lot of interesting points, but the main one was that one indicator of what is good web content is whether or not people are sharing it with social media like Twitter and Facebook Pages.

    Also, the more influential you are, determined in part by the number of people that follow you on Twitter, the more weight your Tweets have.

    I think the original interview is at searchengineland.com/what-social-signals-do-google-bing-really-count-55389

      IMHO, social networks may be a part of the formula, but definitely not the dominant one.

      would hate to see serps like "breast cancer" or "heart disease shunt treatment" go to some page just because asswipe managed to make a fan page on twitter...

      I think (and I stress it!!!), concept is ridiculous. IMHO social crapworks may be conceived a part of a weight in serp ranking in case when major other relative or same keywords sites also have social crap bookmarked, bot-twitted and alike... just would not be fair.

      heck, mebbe I'm just too old fashioned and there is no thing like moral dilemma in IM...
      or mebbe its just my time to go flip burgers and I'm again too old for this.

    Forget about the search engines and how they MAY or MAY NOT view or calculate social media. Why on EARTH would you not include social networks in part of your marketing plan anyway? That is just stupid in my opinion. Every concept, topic, or niche, can gain exposure through social outlets.

    This update, made me happy. It made me happy reading it, and it made me happy to see that ALL sites I run and manage, had a nice little jump in the SERPS. Some, jumped over 80-90 spots.
