Thanks for your reply. Engagement seems be a challenge after getting into Social Media. Again there are a lot of other opportunities include PR. What sort of spend percentage is advisable for Social Media?

The idea is that the more people are talking about something, the more popular it is and the more important. This is a life lesson and SEs are catching up to the social scene on the web.
People love to share ideas and information, but not everyone blogs. Some times we just link to other content, or share links that link to other content.
Good practice is to have a Like button on your site, each blog post, each product page, etc. And to have a Share This on each as well.
This is the Facebook Like button. I am posting because it is a bit hard to find : )
I hope this helps

There are a lot of questions right now regarding how links will be valued by search engines and Rand's post that Mike recommended is a great place to start your research.
One other thing to consider is the power of social media to help you earn traditional links. I know that isn't what you are asking about, but it's important to think about. Twitter, Facebook, Quora, etc. can be great tools for building reputation, crafting relationships, and sharing great content with people who like to build links. As such you may get your greatest value not from the Tweets and Likes, but rather from the resulting links your social circle will create.

Re-branding Company Social Profiles
Hi Does anyone have experience of re-branding LinkedIN or Facebook? Can you keep the company page/followers and just change your name or do you have to start again? Thank you!

Links to Social Media accounts, rel=nofollow/follow and rel=me
Hi guys, I just saw this rel="me" attribute and I can't find any reputable recent (within last year) information. I never heard of this and wonder if it's any beneficial in any way. At the same time, should I use nofollow or follow on links from website to social accounts? I've heard different opinions but, again, no recent relevant and trustworthy information. Please, kick me into right direction. However, when kicking, please give me some proof, rather than thoughts 🙂 Thanks!

What's your preference - regurgitate content on social media or just post it the once?
Hi All, Not been on the forums for a while and this isn't really an SEO question. How do you feel about Twitter feeds that constantly regurgitate the same content. It's pretty much industry standard on most pages but if the content is yours, no affiliates or other people are involved - is it really necessary to plug the same 500 word blog post over and over? Personally, I don't like it. I think it looks spammy and unprofessional and in all honesty, I unfollow pages regularly because of it.. What do you guys think? Am I squandering content by not regurgitating? Happy Monday all - Jamie

I have 3 different niches - Should I create 3 different Social Profiles/hubs?
So I have 3 completely different niches. As in B2B vs. B2C, as well as markets that are not related whatsoever. Unless your grandmother that likes to sew, just so happens to also love to demolish giant buildings (lol, I never thought about how polar opposite my niches were until I re-read that sentence). Anyways, I guess the company should also have profiles/hubs, but what about for Outreach? I feel like outreach should be done by a personal profile, since outreach is all about networking and building relationships. Any direction/help/tips here? Thanks everyone, Tyler A.

I'd love to see which URLs on a specific domain get socially shared the most. I know I can use OSE to say figure out exactly how much social sharing has happened on let's say this URL:

Misplaced social media metrics comparison tool
Hello, I can't seem to find a social media metrics comparison tool that showed me the number of Facebook Likes/Shares, Tweets, etc. compared to a site's competition. Does anyone have any idea what this may be? I scanned through all of my SEO Tools and can't find it.
