    If you want more traffic from social media to your site, try advertising. Otherwise, you can just continue regular posting.

    It's a myth that Social Media can improve rankings in search engine, If it was true, I would be having millions of visitors to my food blog.

    I get over a million visitors from Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Google Plus combined, but my search engine traffic is same from last one year, and that's just 100,000

    Thank got I stopped worrying about rankings and put my efforts in Social Media instead.

    I post every new article I write on:
    Facebook (I get lots of shares from Facebook posts to my targeted "friends," many of whom are solidly in my website's "niche")
    LinkedIn
    Google+ (every new article I post to Google+ immediately shows up on page 1 of the SERPs for the article's main keyword(s) in the title)

    The original poster's question was which social media sites help "SEO ranking." The three social sites I post to generate a good amount of traffic. Only Google knows just how much (or little) traffic affects our rankings. My take on it: I appreciate the traffic from the social sites, and I suspect that the traffic thus generated somehow measures into Google's search algorithm results.

    I am using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest & Plurk to improve my site ranking & traffic in Google. Most social media links are nofollow, so while you may gain traffic if you post something of genuine interest, you will not gain backlinks.

    You will not able to rank your site through social media websites. Try to post useful and interesting content so that it can give you reference traffic.

    You do not post daily. Facebook, Google Plus, sharing the post 3 times in 1 week on Effective Post. If you want good visitors use the site to Reddit

    It really depends on your niche. I saw pages posting even 5 days a day on Facebook and they have a great engagement from the followers.

    Social Media sites has nothing to do with sites rankings and the purpose of this medium is to established connection with the target audience and build trust with the users.

    Social media sites are useful for SEO ranking.Becuase their available plenty of traffic.Here also, you can target your exact more custom.I think social media sites are too much effective for SEO ranking.I suppose to use for my website G+, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Pinterest, twitter and Facebook.
    I also mention that you must target your local social media site also.Another one things I must follow your targeted people could be used which social media site and when their engagement could be highest.That's the moment you should share your content.

    most likely more rumor stuff. Social media may help you index quicker, however, i doubt it plays
    a huge role in actual ranking, and getting indexed vs ranked are completely different. my site is
    only a week old, and my last post showed up within a couple hours. I am sure social media shows that you are active to some degree, but like many other ranking factors, social media is just a tiny factor.
    and if it did play any major role, then google would just end up dialing it way back in the future, so dont think you
    are getting one over google just because you think you will outrank your competitor just because you
    are on social media, however, even if it is just slightly at this point, better then nothing i guess...
    but I think google vs social media is a lot of speculative stuff floating around out there, and if you are
    doing the right things such as on-page seo, google content, right niche, then it should take care of itself overtime. I think google would be more concerned if you were not on social media, and all of a sudden you are getting all these backlinks; how can you get backlinks if no one talking about you on social media (red flag)

    You get over 1m vistors from social media, and your organic traffic is just 100k?

    Doesnt seem like your social fans do much for you, so why use social media at all?

    SEO is a myth...once you get in line with google, then they
    changing the rules, then start penalizing sites...
    isnt that normally how google works?

    Please take your time to read the above posts and educate yourself. Social media can`t help your site ranking at all. It might help with indexing but it will never help with rankings.

    I understand...
    At the end of the day, the most important factor is to get your
    content to index, as this is the starting point of the journey, once the
    content is indexed, then you can work as hard as you want in order
    to get the content to your desired rankings, or let it move up in
    a natural manner as you work on ranking other areas of your site....
