facebook, Google plus, twitter and pinterest

Hi socialapps

Your question is very general. The best social network for what? Each has its positives and negatives

As for the best for SEO, I've heard Google rewards your search engine position if you have a Google+ page for your website

All social networking websites you mentioned here are the best from both perspectives user & search engine. They have their own identity among folk and use on daily basis. If you want to get maximum benefits of these websites then you will need to share quality and engaging contents.

Hi Dude ,
Each and every website have their own Advantages. It really depends on your Business Niche.

I have not a lot of experience with Social bookmarking for SEO, but from what I have read and what I think is that it would be more more powerful for SEO to use all of these social networking websites than just one or two. You can promote all of them at the same time so your following on those networks will increase dramatically faster than just promoting to one of those networks.

All of them are really great depending on what niche you are in and what your goals are. The common mistake people make is they try to do social media marketing in these sites but they fail to determine how these sites can help them.

I think it depends, but I know for sure that Pinterest is great for food, and health related websites--topics.

Hi I'm Lish a Social Media Manager based in the Philippines. Is $500 a month ok for a full time Social Media Management work?

Hi socialapps, In my opinion all these sites are best on behalf of their services & parameters. I use all those sites to increase my website traffic.

In today's competitive online world, you can't simply say, which one of these social networks is best. You need to use all social networks, not just Facebook. You must establish a presence on all social networks and be active to corner the market in your niche. Your closest competitor is hoping you will say, Facebook is more important than Twitter or Pinterest. That way they can get the leading edge over your site.

Each social site is viable depending on a market you're targeting. From what I've learned when I managed my client's social media accounts, here's what I have observed:

Google+ : recommended for techies, demographics are generally men.
Pinterest : members are mostly women aged 20-40 years old, if you have plenty of interesting images that caters to women's interest (shoes, shopping, clothes, food, housekeeping, etc.) this is a good platform to start with.
Facebook : good for customer engagement, use eye-catching titles and pictures to stand out in Newsfeeds.
Twitter: This is good place to curate some good contents and build links to your blog posts or products. It's easier to get more followers in Twitter than in Facebook, in my case.
Tumblr: this is good if your market is geared towards teens or young adult.

Each one has its advantages over the other and can't tell which one is better because it depends on what it's for. Here's how I view things:

Facebook: After your own website, Facebook is the next thing consumers search for. It sort of acts as a validation that you're still relevant. It's a good way to keep your customers engaged, to announce your newest offerings and having a promo. Photos, I think, are very important. Photos pop out in the newsfeed and are easily shared. Although I'm not a fan of "pay so all your fans can see your post" thing, I'd say if you don't have a lot of time and resources, focus on Facebook first.

Twitter: Twitter, for me, is where consumers go to read up on the latest news about anything under the sun. Consumers tweet you when they want to learn something about your product NOW. So if you're not online most of the time, skip it. Also, unlike Facebook where customers' negative posts can be hidden or deleted, when someone posts a negative thing about your business on Twitter, anyone can read it and you can't do anything about it. Twitter's also great if you want to be proactive and reach out to your customers.

Google +: Just started using Google+ and did so mainly because it helps your ranking. Right now what I can get from it is you get a really focused following.

Pinterest: Great for products! And services that are visual in nature.

Tumblr: Skip it.

Linkedin: If you're looking to expand your team, make one. If not, you can do it later.


Research can do wonders. Determine your target market and figure out their social media habits like what social media site they use the most, do they use their mobile, what kind of content appeals to them, what time they are online etc. Start from there.

I love all the sites you mentioned!
As for SEO, Google + is the best for me.

If SEO purpose, I use them all.

If good relationship purpose, I use Facebook and Google +.

Each social site has its own unique use - you need to find which one works best for you. Google+, pinterest and Facebook are great for visual advertising where as Twitter is a constant flow of content which sometimes gets lost on peoples timeline. I find Google+ very effective, posting my content in related communities. The interaction I get from doing this is greater than that of a post on Twitter. Pinterest to me seems to be full of images of fashion and travel.

All of them are very usefull for seo purpose, social signals are the great way to increase your rankings. specially links from google+ are very important.

They are all good.. But if you can combine it the right way, you'll be the best..
I use Pinterest more than FB and Twitter right now, since it can gain more US people (i'm in Indonesia).. And in Pinterest you can see all the post in Timeline from all over the world.. Not just from your friends..

It depends on product/sevices you offer and content you have. Facebook, Google Plus and Twitter is content rather, Pinterest photos. If you have in your offer really great photos (for example you have online clothing store) go for Pinterest. Our first campaign let our customer's site reached the top of Google only with Pinterest.

Use all 4 the more you get your message out there the more exposure you get. Don't be the preverbial "one trick pony" diversify as it will give better results

You can of course have automatic updating on all, but I think you should focus on one platform to really understand it and make sure it's the one that makes most sense to your niche.


Just my 2 cents

There are advantages to all of them. Google+ is a Google property so those interactions are helpful. Pinterest has become a large traffic driver for me. Facebook is a great place to develop a loyal fan base that will drive viral traffic to your site.

According to SEO point of view, Google Plus is the best in social networking because all of g+ links are crawled by Google too. That helps to increase in Google Rankings too.

Google Plus is best social Networking Site.

HI

social media is very important for seo,and all the websites you mentioned are a part of social media

hi....

According to me all social sites are popular and beneficial for website promotion......

Twitter is a popular microblogging system that enables users to send messages of 140 or less. It first started as a means to communicate within friends, family and coworkers and has evolved into a powerful social medium as a great and extremely fast way to disseminate information.

as compare to all facebook is much better social media. it will definatly going to provide you more traffic for your websites. you can share your stuff, links and many more

All social websites are important in SEO prospective.

Every social networking website is best for SEO and sharing photos, chatting with friends, and lots of fun.

You need to utilize all 4 that you have listed also do Onlywire and Tribepro. These are good ways to market your content.

Do all of them there is no such thing as over doing it---spread your word around and you will start getting followers

I like Tumblr best, thats where i easiest get more new followers, likes, and shares, great way to spread your content

Facebook is better than all social networking sites...

Hello, MySpace, Bebo and Facebook being the most widely used in now-a-days.

• Pinterest: Pinterest is a pin board-style photo-sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections such as events, interests, and hobbies. Users can browse other pin boards for images, "re-pin" images to their own pin boards, or "like" photos.

Have a nice day

Social Media Sites are for brand promotion,building online reputation,generating traffic..don't look at them from SEO points of view..if you are popular socially,then you don't need to worry about seo..

All the social sites (Facebook, Twitter, G+ and Pinterest) are helpful for deriving traffic. All these social sites have their different criteria, like: Pinterest allow link on images, Twitter has limit of 140 characters, Facebook has limit of 5k friends and G+ page need verification for better results.

It's you, who'll decide which social network is good for you.

Use all of them you can't go wrong having multiple groups that you are a part of. Some people like or only a part of certain ones so you if don't advertise using one you could miss out

It varies from person to person, google plus and twitter are what works best for me but loads of people rave over facebook.

Pinterest can be fantastic if your business is visually appealing.

If you ask me, each of the website you mentioned have different characteristics from each other. They have different audiences and people use each of them for different purposes.

You can try all of it if you can! You can attack the audience with different contents that belong to different niches. That should work for your plan.

Good luck, Nate.

I agree that you should probably use more than one of them in order to get the best results. Though I highly recommend something like hootsuite to help you stay on top of it all, it makes life so much easier.
