Is social media is the best SEO method?

11 years ago

I don't think any social media is best for SEO except Google+. Social media is good for attracting traffic to your website, but Google doesn't consider it much. Perhaps other experts can tell you here differently, this is what I have learned over the years.

you need quality back-links, keyword optimized pages, and other white hat SEO for getting a good ranking in Google. Especially if we're talking about long term.

Well, you can say it's an imaginary part of SEO as social media things are all about SMO optimisation they are like two different direction in Search Engine Optimisation we optimizes the website for getting more visibility over the SERPs while with the help of Social Media Optimisation what you do is you build brand reputation i.e you try to make yourself familiar with with the users round the Globe ! Its more like saying "Hey this is ... from .... would you like to ..... "

I want to say that Social media and SEO both are different techniques. Social media will not help you to rank on search engines. It is a good source of relevant traffic.

No, social network activity appears to have no direct SEO value. Remember Facebook etc... are just websites.

Still has value like any website that can send traffic your way.

Take Warrior Forum, posting links here has no direct SEO value (they are nofollow links), but someone might visit your site from a link here and decide to add a dofollow link from their blog or business site... The dofollow link will pass direct SEO benefit, so posting on Warrior Forum could indirectly impact SEO.

Facebook is the same, Google doesn't have access to all of Facebook, the parts it does have access to links out using nofollow and Google doesn't know how many likes/shares your site has... So Facebook is just like Warrior Forum, no direct SEO value.

Google+ could be different, although on the face of things Google+ is exactly the same as Facebook (nofollow links), Google owns Google+ so could use Google+ shares etc... as a ranking factor because they have access to the data and it's unlikely Google will block Google from the data :-)

Note this is a could, there's no evidence they do use Google+ shares, but unlike Facebook likes/shares they could use Google+ data.

I find my time is better spent on direct SEO methods, building content and backlinks.

Some people will say that getting links from a social network site won't have any real SEO value for you. But, there's no actual proof that these links are worthless.

Even Google won't say how much relevance they place on social network links and no follow links.

The only truth that remains is that even if you can't get a do follow link from a site, you should opt for the link that is on the most prestigious and authoritative site possible.

And, a social networking site such as Twitter would qualify.

This should just be ONE of the many types of authoritative/high page rank sites that you use when backlinking.

A nofollow link is not more powerful than a dofollow that does not mean someone should skip sharing their webpages on the sites you have mentioned above.

Google has all records of links of both dofollow and no follow. It is known that posting links to social sites are easy therefor Google don't take it too seriously as backlink but it enhance the link popularity of the site. And within the 200 algorithms that Google uses has the place for social shares where a share indicates that a page is well accepted by people and valuable.

SMO and SEO is totally a different thing. Yes, I know that. Getting traffic from Social media populairty and Ranking a site on Google search(Organic traffic) is very different.

But to get a success online a webmaster should do both SEO and Social media marketing so that he will get maximum traffic.

If we talk about links then the shares on social media sites are not actual backlinks in the eye of Google. But Google crawls every social pages like other webpages and links also. This does not mean you can rank a site with just social links. It is hard to say that the social presence has no contribute in a website ranking on search engine.

Different people have different opinion. The success online is always customized. No fixed way. So it's all about personal experiment.

The truth is nobody here can tell you what the exact formula for SEO is that works. There are too many factors in play . It depends on what you are trying to rank for, how much competition there is etc...

I've been working as an SEO consultant for some fairly significant online firms fro about 4-5 years now and as anyone in the business can tell you there have been a lot of changes over the past few years.

A good friend of mine runs an SEO/SEM firm and these days he relies almost entirely on content generation and social media to obtain and maintain rankings for some large clients.

Social signals have direct results on search engine rankings in 2014 - particularly Google +1s. I have correlated campaigns consisting of nothing but content generation and social signals. I don't care what anybody at Google or anywhere else says about that - there is a definite relationship. Nevetheless, I still feel that effective link building from non social sources is paramount to ranking well - especially in competitive niches and markets.

The bottom line is that the closest thing to a formula you are going to get is this:

QUALITY UNIQUE CONTENT + RELEVANT CONTEXTUAL BACKLINKS+ SOCIAL SIGNALS = better rankings.

The real question you should be asking yourself is what do you really care about, rankings or traffic?

If it is a site that is only white methods of promotion, if it sells page or spa earnings that can be applied to black promotion methods including spamm and creation sites pads or the creation of a new phenomenon landing pages, or in other words capture pages and follow their progress in a general way many looking for something to apply.

Social Media and SEO both of the are very different to each other and SMM is Not a SEO technique. Social appeals directly to people and the audience. Search engine optimization appeals to a robot, As you know social media posts and twit's appear's instantly and you can get result with in some minute's or hour's while Seo can be slow and uncertain it may take's month's and some time year's to build up enough credibility.

SEO (search engine optimization) and SMO (social media optimization) both are different. If you want to get ranked over search engine then both techniques are good. In search engine optimization, we use various on page and off page technique, but in SMO we use different social networking sites as Facebook, twitter, google+ etc.

I really don't think social media is connected with SEO. It is a different approach because it focuses more in engaging with targeted audience. But in SEO, it focuses more on ranking your website on page one of Google search. But social media engagement is one of the best methods that you could ever perform, because it can give you direct and targeted customers or audience, but you need to give value to them first or else they might flag and ruin your reputation.

However, if you want to know what would be the best SEO method, you should consider taking up SEO training courses that are effective and up to date that complies with the latest Google algorithm. I hope this helps you a lot, at least you gained ideas and put it into action.

Cheers!

If I were you I would focus on quality content. The more quality content you produce the more visitors will share and like it in a natural way. It also will lower your bounce rate and engage your visitors to stay longer on your site, view more pages etc.

In my opinion it all depends on giving your visitors what they are looking for.

No, they are not. That makes no sense at all. Optimizing something unrelated can't be part of SEO.

In my opinion it goes like this:

- Marketing
-- Internet marketing
--- SEM
--- SEO
--- SMM

So SEO and SMM are siblings, and SMO is a sub category of Social Media Marketing.

Just noticed that this also happens to be the categorization that Wikipedia uses.

No doubt Social Media is Good, But with social media you should work on other methods also.
Only social media is not sufficient for Quality Optimization.

Yes social media has become an integral part of SEO, Google algorithm has become intelligent and considers the link popularity of a website across major social media networks.

It also mean, if you don't have a social media link popularity you can still rank but with social media link popularity you will rank quickly and your rank position with be stronger and will not drop easily.

No, it has not. Google would have to painstakingly develop connection to each platform they'd want to target, and keep constantly changing their code. If they'd do this, they'd probably cover just a few major social media platforms.

It would be such a major change to their algorithms, and huge effort on their part that they'd make sure you know about it.

First post!

No, social media and SEO are two sides of the same coin. They look at different methods, but they are as important.

Though I've read that Google considers Google+ posts, and apparently, it indexes Twitter tweets, using social media is never SEO.

Think of it this way:

SEO builds your website's authority, while social media allows you to increase traffic and reach customers.

Hi,

SEO and SMO both are different. SMO can get more traffic. SEO will give unpaid results which are long lasting.

Social media is actually one of the best and fastest way to market your business.
There are only few link building techniques left that actually work depending on your intentions. If you want to rank on SERP, then you don't just focus on SEO alone but rather on your target audience.
