Hello Corn,
In short - No.

It does drives really good traffic if you're targeting credible and high authority sites like BizSugar.com.
I suppose you're not referring to sites like "dofollow social bookmarking sites", "High PR social bookmarking sites", "instant social bookmarking sites" etc.

I would say minimal in my opinion. There was a time when it worked, but that was a time before spam. But at the same time I would say it also depends too. If you have a link that is on a social platform that is never used or shared, I think the benefit is next to nothing. But on the other hand if you have a recipe on pinterest that is shared, pinned, and used frequently, I think that is different. Google looks for what they call "social signals". I am of the opinion that a link really is not a signal, the usage of the link is the signal.

Need to fill out supplier form to pay for Moz Con
First of all, I wish there was an email I could contact for this. I am planning on attending Moz Con next month with my company. However the policy internally is that in order for my company to cover the conference, I need to get someone from Moz to fill out our new supplier form. Is there anyone that can help out with this? Any insight or answers would be much appreciated.
