Will Traffic From Social Media Effects Search Engine Ranking
-
hi,
If i get paid traffic from social media on my website blog. Will overall ranking of my website increase in search engine or not. Share your experience.
-
If the user experience for paid traffic is bad, you'll be losing money. I think this area is mostly self policing. I have seen zero evidence ever that Google takes paid social traffic user experience or volume into account for organic rankings. It doesn't make sense to do that because those users behave drastically different than a user on organic search. Why would you base organic search rankings on paid social traffic?
-
Short answer is no.
For further discussion: does Google Adwords traffic affect your SEO? Answer is no, so how could social media paid traffic help?
hope it helps.
-
It's unlikely. It may help a bit if your traffic's experience on the site is really good, but otherwise no. Sure, if you now have 100 visits/month and you'll get 1000 more, which have good analytics stats, it may improve your case. But if you're already doing pretty well it won't improve your case too much.

CSVs From Social Export are Blank
Hi everyone, I'm exporting social metrics as CSV's, but the CSV's don't have any data. This is happening with both the dashboard and the Facebook reports. There is plenty of data, it's just not exporting to the report. What could be going on? Thanks.

I use facebook which i am not a fan of and i get a lot of traffic from it. Just wondering if there is a knack to getting traffic from twitter or are other people finding out the same as me that twitter does nothing to generate traffic or increase your profile

Would great contents alone, be enough for ranking high?
Hi and thank you everyone for reading this post. Recently I had purchased a business including the domain. The website has been around for over 10 years with some links pointing back to it including couple of links from dmoz. I am in the process of up dating the website but most of the pages are not relevant anymore and thus will not be in the new website. I have couple of questions: 1. Since some of those old pages are getting some backlinks, would it be prudent to keep the url and 301 it to say homepage or another page? I want to work out the best way of utilising the current backlinks. Is this the best way? 2. The website is in a highly competitive industry and I want to add a lot of informative contents. The contents will be well written (professionally) and not for the sake of SEO but for providing valuable information for users. Whilst I'm adding the contents, what would be best way of drawing attention of the potential users to it? If I release the same content as a way of notes in its FB page, would that be considered as duplicate content in the eyes of Google? Or should I just share the link on FB? What are the other mediums available that considered to be effective for sharing contents. I'm also thinking about guest blogging for selected blogs. Would this be an effective way of increasing the authority of my website? I should say that at the moment the site has a PA of 44 for the homepage and DA of 35. Are these numbers OK? Thanks again.

Are social signals passed with a 301 redirect
Hi all, A question came up today that I don't think I've seen answered before. We hear all the time how important social sharing metrics are becoming to SEO, but what happens to the social signals of a page when it is 301 redirected? Are the social signals forwarded on in the same manner as link juice? Has anyone ever seen any experiments carried out around this before? Thanks very much in advance for any information shared. Cheers.
