Social media is a matter of getting traffic, building reputation to your site. If you are active on social media and getting lots of traffic to your site, then its good for your site. Don't see Social Media as a SEO factors. Make reputation through it..

So my plan is to get its ranking up a bit more and attempt to sell it. and try as i might, my facebook page follows just will not get interested. I've tried asking questions, givng stuff away, holding competitions. I get 1 - refferals max from facebook per post.

Quite precise and impressive answer. But still we do not diversify social media and seo because its a part of seo now. Most of the experts are now in favor of doing social media marketing instead of doing old fashioned seo marketing strategies. Some claim that SMM boost the rankings as well.

Social media DOES impact SEO but in a certain way. Use social media as a platform for acquiring traffic and establish a brand. Put a lot of SEO optimized links and keywords into your social media page and it will rank high in the search engine results. People will find your page and then get directed to your website (if they decide they are interested in your website based on the content you post up). Use social media as a platform for acquiring traffic but also use SEO to make people FIND your social media page.

In short terms old forums with good traffic and high PR afflict SEO most. But if you think in terms of Panda and Penguin I would strongly advise you use social networking sites like FB, G+, Twitter and (if you need european and russian traffic) VK. You can generate good traffik stream and if yor site is good people start requesting it in Google. And your results in SERP become better. It is a long but sure way, pal.

Search engine optimization has not been dependent on a minimal number of factors for a long time now, such as number of times a keyword appeared on a page, and it continues to become a more complex web of on and off-page factors every month. One of the more recent factors that has had an impact on search ranking is social media.
The following infographic breaks down ways that social media influences the visibility of your website in search results, including:

Social media can help search engines find and index your content faster
Likes, shares, retweets, etc. indicates to search engine that content is new and interesting, often leading to a temporary increase in rankings
Your content will increase in search results for people connected to you
Increases domain authority and the number of inbound links to your website

Google has recently updated that social signals don't impact on search engine ranking..but still it is an important part of seo..If a website get lots of shares and tweets then definitely it indicates the site's popularity and a popular site will definitely get linking on other sites..

In the event that an inbound link from a relevant website is viewed as more effective than a link from a non-relevant website, then its feasible that the same holds valid for online networking links. So in case you're looking to construct social networking links to your article about SEO, then links from profiles with partnered areas identified with SEO and the individuals who consistently post about SEO and related practices, would likely be viewed as more significant than links from profiles who hold no importance to SEO.

Hi Buddy,

I am aware Social media doesn’t make a positive impact on your SEO ranking however its vital you use social media for more traffic generation anyways so the more social media you are connected with like Facebook, Twitter,Google+ and Pin interest the better. You can’t go wrong with being more exposed within your niche.

Go ahead get yourself out there.

I hope this helps?
Good Luck Buddy

I agree with them that using social media platforms is a way to gain popularity and brand name to your company especially if many people "likes", "share" or "retweet" your posts. Some says that Google+ business page has a factor to rank high in Google SERP if you are use the platform correctly.

Social media can increase rankings through social signals, only to compliment your other SEO methods. Social signals tell Google that your link or post is interesting that's why it's viral. Shares, likes, tweets, retweets, etc.

Google’s responsibility is to make sure users are seeing the most valuable, relevant content when they search online. If your social media posts are being shared and linked to frequently, the content may rank higher because Google may consider it to be of greater value for users.

Dear the power of social media helps you in both SEO and building reputation. I made a youtube video which was ranked on google in 10 minutes after it was published. The secret is how you launch a particular blogpost and how much demand have you created through social media in the pre launch session.

I only use facebook , twitter and Youtube for everything and it's working great.

Use these resources to the maximum strength.

I hope that solves your query.

Message me if you need more details.

Google + is one of the best websites for SEO, as Google indexs posts and shares instantly, as it's their own service. As there's privacy settings on platforms such as Facebook, this isn't always the best thing for your website SEO.

It really depends on several factors but don't focus on only one thing. If your product is more specific you should look for like for your fan page, if it is something that almost anyone can get interested in try to find shares and likes.

The 10 most important factors in SEO ranking now come from social media, with Google +1s leading the way. Rounding out the rest of the top seven are Facebook Shares, number of back links, Facebook total, Facebook comments, Facebook Likes, and Pinterest. Tweets aren’t far behind, coming in at number eight.
The activity on social networks continues to increase, on the other hand it means that frequently shared content increasingly correlates with good rankings.

Many of the expert marketers has already accepted that Social Shares Are the New Form of Link Building. Link building has always been an important factor taken into consideration by search engines to determine whether other websites across the web deemed your website to be a quality source of information.

Links to your content on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube and other social networks help the search engines understand what websites are credible and should be ranked for what keyword phrases.
