The Secret Sauce For Boosting Your SEO

The ability for internet marketers to influence outcomes is what the social media is all about. Social marketing is relevant for any business with a website, for one simple reason. If people are not talking about you, or if prospects are not talking to you, it makes your online presence irrelevant.

At the end of the day, people need to see the face behind the business. We like to do business with somebody we know. We want to use brands that other people are using. it is in our nature to be social, and when we are part of a brand, well, that validates our choice of consumer goods, doesn’t it?

Social Marketing And No Follow Links

Some webmasters may say that social media links are No Follow links and they would be right. But that does not lessen the importance of social media links. Google and Bing has stated that social media links are one of the signals they use in determining the popularity and relevance of your website. This would suggest that you had better be involved in social marketing.

It boils down to this: a link to your website still counts as a link. I am not all that convinced that No Follow links are 100% no follow. It stands to reason that all links are followed in one way or another. And what about the human visitors? As long as there is a link to your website, you have a shot at getting them to your website. At the end of the day, getting traffic to your website is the objective.
