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.

Social data for links
Hey can anyone recommend a tools out there, which can look at a list of urls (over 20+) and it will show the social stats for each url (e.g. number of Facebook Shares, Tweets, etc)? Or a tool which searchers within a certain category or niche (might be based on the keyword you entered), and finds the most shared content? Cheers, Chris

Has anybody else noticed that Google has made a significant change to their SERP? There is a lot of social data reported from LinkedIn, Youtube and Facebook (includes page likes and activity) when you search by company name. Thoughts anybody?

How do I track my Facebook page rank?
Hey guys, Probably a newbie question, but I'm wondering if there's a way to track Facebook (or other offsite profiles that I own) pagerank along with my domain? I'm working on a project right now where I noticed we're not on the front page for our search term, but our Facebook page is. It would just be helpful to have that info for a more complete SEO picture. Thanks!

Social button yes or social button no...
Hi everybody! It's quite clear that if you have a pretty, clean, compact html code on your website, Google loves you as a lovely mom does with her kids. But it's not a dream world and you have actually to choose between social and clean code. In fact to add, for example, the Facebook social button, you have to include some files from the Facebook servers. Even though the googlebot doesn't download them (but people do, with page optimization decreasing), it reads some javascript code. Moreover you have to add some code where you want the button appears. I think it hasn't much sense for the googlebot, so that could it be punitive for your website / page to place that bunch of code? In the end my question is the following: Does the social power win against negative factors like additional files to download and a bunch of ugly code in your body? social power > bad factors (file downloading+more code)?

B2B social share
Hello, Social sharing is a positive signal for SEO.Google told on its blog, Googlebot take car of more than 200 social websites. Sometime Twitter and Facebook aren't good marketing places because business isn't B2C but B2B. So customers doesn't use them for job, but they use Linkedin, Viadeo, Xing, and maybe some other. I can't be present onto all social website, I've to choose the most relevant.
