I want to know if we buy social signals from website like buyfok.com, how it will affect in seo?
-
I saw many website link https://buyfok.com/ which sell social media followers like instagram, facebook followers and likes.
I was thinking to increase my social followers/signals for SEO purpose. That's why I want to ask, how these websites followers will affect in SEO?

Just don't!!!!
Buying in an unnatural number of new followers which causes a significant one off spike which will be seen as fake and more thank likely hinder your efforts than help. As per Casey, concentrate on your content, make it unique, high quality and link worthy. This will in turn attract new natural shares, likes and links. These likes and shares will also put your content in front of like minded people in similar demographics with similar interests.

It will do zilch. For one, you should never buy followers/likes - what is the point other than to inflate your following count?
Social media is all about engagement. It's better to have a small number of followers who like, comment and share rather than thousands. Social media's part of SEO is to help encourage your community to like, comment and share your blog articles and web pages. It's an amplification tool to get your content in front of more eyes online and to hopefully encourage natural link building.
I'd suggest having a read of this: https://moz.com/blog/battle-for-traffic-organic-vs-social-media
Good luck!

SEO wise - what is the impact of Avatar on a blog
Hi all, At the moment we are at the verge of building finally a blog. For SEO purpose I demanded that it would include social interactions with Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and some more. Especially Google+ for the authorship part. But now they come asking me if they can work with Gravatar http://www.gravatar.com/support/what-is-gravatar/ - a Globally Recognized Avatar. I never worked with it before and can't find anything if it will negatively impact SEO on authorship - but I'm still not sure. Does the Gravatar interfer with Google+ authorship?

How should I structure my facebook like buttons?
I have a facebook like button on my homepage. Currently, it points to my facebook page, so every time someone likes this button they are liking my facebook page. Is this how it should be structured? Do the likes count towards my home page? Is there a way that a like can simultaneously like my facebook page AND my website? Which is best for search metrics? Thanks for your responses.

Which is better for Wordpress multisite SEO? Subdomains or subdirectories
Hi, I've always used subdomains when setting up a WordPress Multisite + Buddypress website. But which is better for SEO? Now I'm thinking this may not be a "one size fits all" websites decision: Case 1: The subsite blog owners need/want/pay/ to advertise their own business using their subsite. Subdomains are perfect because they can SEO their own site seperate from other client sites, yet reap benefits from the home buddpress site SEO. Case 2: The subsite blogs are for hobbyists so they are not promoting their own site with SEO, at least they don't need to. However, using subsites subdirectories will enhance the content and SEO for the main Buddypress site by treating them all as content of the main site. I would appreciate hearing from those with more expertise. Regards, Larry .
