Social media can be used to increase the traffic of a website if the traffic of a website increases than the page ranking of the website also increases and the website become visible in the search engine searching. To increase the business of a company, the company optimize their websites with seo. If the website users increases, the business also increases.

Traffic has no effect on either PageRank (which is based solely on backlinks) or SERPs. How would a search engine even know how much traffic your site is getting?

A know a band promoter, and he will often book bands solely on how many Facebook likes they have. So… imagine how much work you could get just based on that!

Aside from reconnecting with old friends and establishing new connections, social media can also be a very potent tool in making a business successful. Simply out, if you have a website you can make use of your social media account to promote this to your followers. And in turn, you will gain more customers in the process…:smiley:

I actually make use of my social media accounts to promote my affiliate offers online. And so far, it’s giving me satisfying results!:smiley:

The website traffic plays an important role in increasing the visibility of the website in the search engine. To increase the website traffic search engine optimizer use different approaches like blog commenting, link building etc. All these things are combined together to increase the website ranks and domain authority. .But of course there’s rising evidence that social influence is related to the ranking influence, and the more people visiting your blog posts, the more likely some of them are to link to it, which is certainly one of the search engines’ main ranking signals.

How so?

Do you have a Google (or other search engine) source reference that supports this?

I’m not sure where you’re finding your SEO advice, @Claire_Anderson, but I would recommend looking around at other sources, because it seems to be pretty inaccurate.

You haven’t answered my question, which was: [quote=“TechnoBear, post:12, topic:231033”]

Google does not use analytics information in ranking a site, so I ask again, how would any search engine know how much traffic a site is getting?

Those approaches, if done carefully and well, might improve traffic, but again, hey will have no direct effect on SEO. Links which you can place yourself are regarded as of little worth, and may fall foul of guidelines on link schemes.

Additionally, most reputable sites - including most social media, which is the topic under discussion here - follow guidelines and mark such links as nofollow, so they will be disregarded by search engines.

As I said, they will not increase ranking in SERPs. Domain Authority is simply a metric created by Moz to indicate how well they estimate a site might perform in SERPs; it, too, has no effect on actual results.

I agree that earned links - those where other people have chosen to link to your content because of its quality - are useful, but at this point, we seem to have wandered away from the topic at hand, which is about social media, not SEO.

Thanks for pointing out my mistakes.
