Which is PROMOTIONAL not optimising.

AND

It will only provide USEFUL traffic when you target the right people. "Massive" traffic is just useless if it doesn't convert.

Ya it will help you to get more traffic but dont just depend on this, other things are also equally important.

Social links from Twitter, Facebook and Google + are now becoming a good medium for advertising our website or products. We can promote and boost our website traffic if we use these networking platforms effectively. In other words we can say that social links are meant for advertising and not for optimizing.

As far as link benefit is concerned, social media platforms do not add value. However, there has been a discussion that Bing in future may consider Twitter & Facebook Links and Google may consider links from Google Plus pages. However, it is too early to believe this. Since these platforms are not moderated, marketers tend to exploit them and hence search engines may strike off links when evaluating a website.

The bottom line: it affects SEO.

**algozone** · 01-05-2012, 03:24 PM

I say it effects SEO as a result but not primarily. Primarily it helps with the traffic and recognition.

Yes, it will index your website easily in search engines.

**amitmax** · 01-06-2012, 08:35 AM

Social links will only help you to get traffic but will not helpful to improve ranking or other SEO impact because mostly social media website provides no follow backlinks.
But social media sites are great source to generate traffic for website.
Thanks

Most of social links provide only no follow links its helpful to increase traffic on your website but not helpful to increase quality back links.

This is a big question people in our industry are asking right now. To my mind, it’s not a question we can answer definitively.Because there are so many other factors involved in ranking which also relate to social links (e.g. content quality) it’s almost impossible to prove there is a causation here.. i think its really benefited

**chrishirst** · 01-09-2012, 02:48 PM

The definitive answer is NO!

links are advertising not optimising.

**evsslcertificate** · 01-13-2012, 06:14 AM

yes it does effect because you would gain a lot of traffic to your site and thus helps in seo..hence we cannot completely neglect the fact that social links doesn't help, because in some way or other social links does its job.

**aishaarora** · 01-13-2012, 06:53 AM

Yes social links are the good way to getting high quality backlinks.

**kline11** · 01-13-2012, 03:48 PM

Social links are for promotion and work better for some more than others. They have NO effect when it comes to optimization (optimisation for the English blokes!).

**Searchable** · 01-13-2012, 07:38 PM

Ultimately I think the main goal is just to drive traffic to your site, it does not really effect SEO but does give you some good recognition.
