SocialMetricsPro - Social Media Analytics WordPress PluginSocial interactions and recommendations like Twitter mentions and retweets, Facebook comments, likes, and shares, etc. are called social signals.

Social signals impact search engine rankings and Google has been tracking social signals as part of its ranking algorithm for several years now.

Useful Info

Note: Google encourages website owners to build their social media presence as a long-term investment to drive qualified traffic, instead of aiming for short-term benefits like search ranking placement. Matt Cutts, the head of Google’s web spam team has stated that Google takes a cautious approach when it comes to social signals, as so many things change quickly on social media. Without a full ‘map,’ Google is understandably reticent to assign more importance to social signals over other aspects of their search algorithm. In summary,  Google’s strategy is a sensible one - “wait and see” how things develop over time, as websites that provide true value tend to develop longevity, trust and authority, and these are the sites that Google naturally wants to rank higher in its search listings.

Social Signals – Which Social Sites Matter?

Social sites that search engines look to for measuring social signals include:

Facebook

With almost 2 billion active users, Facebook is the largest social community in the world. It has been estimated that a single post can reach up to 150,000 users, so even if no one seems to be buying your products or services on Facebook, you should not be quick to dismiss Facebook as an important part of your business strategy, as Google uses social data and information from Facebook when determining your search rankings. In fact, Facebook seems influence website rankings more than other social media sites, like Twitter andGooglePlus.

Twitter

After Facebook, Twitter is the next biggest social media site in the world, with over 500  million tweets sent out every single day. Twitter plays a significant role as a global influencer online and places great emphasis on tweeting posts that provide great value to readers over the volume of tweets sent …

Google Plus

As Google’s own social networking site, Google+ naturally carries great authority online, even if it has not reached the same level of growth and take up as Twitter and Facebook.

In addition to the big three social media giants listed above, there are a number of other sites worth paying attention to, such as Pinterest, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon, Digg, and Reddit.

Social Signals – Which Ones Should You Pay Attention To?

Search engines track a number of social signals, including the following:

  • Facebook – e.g. how many Facebook shares, likes, and comments you have, growth rate of shares and likes, etc.
  • Twitter – e.g. how many tweets and retweets a site has, the authority of the person sending a tweet, trending topics, etc.
  • Google+ – e.g. who is following you (influential users), how many people are following you, number and authority of +1s, etc.
  • Other sites – e.g. growth rate of Pins and re-Pins on Pinterest, comments on StumbleUpon, etc.
  • Not so obvious signals – In addition to the above, there are other not so obvious social media-related factors that can influence search rankings and traffic. These include positive and undesirable factors, such as links from authority sites (backlinks) (not as influential as they once were, but still a factor) [positive], and whether your site is deemed to be irrelevant by site reviewers [negative].

As a website owner, it’s important to not only develop your presence on major social networking websites, but also to be able to track, measure and analyze social signals in order to improve your business results.

Using social media can improve your results online

Tracking social media activity allows you to find insights into what people are saying about your brand, services, or company on social media, take preventative measures against the spread of negative comments or feedback by online users, identify new opportunities for engagement, measure the impact of campaigns, and spy on your competitors. Additionally, monitoring social media can also provide you with vital information about emerging trends and what clients and consumers think about specific businesses, products, brands, or topics.

As a tool for business intelligence, social media monitoring is invaluable. Using social media monitoring as a form of business intelligence, however, is a complex undertaking, typically carried out by various groups that include marketing professionals, digital reputation management companies, market research, sales teams, social engagement and community staff, and social marketing agencies. Typically, small businesses don’t can’t afford to pay social media monitoring professionals to track their coverage in the media.

Fortunately various providers have made available tools and solutions that facilitate the monitoring of a wide range of social media channels, enabling companies to identify what consumers are saying about their products or brands allowing them to respond to conversations and engage with online users in various social media platforms.
