    Social Media is the most powerful tool, when it comes to online marketing. The reason for Social media emerging as the most powerful tool in internet marketing is , that more and more users are using social media, or social networking websites. Social Media and Social Networking has direct impact on your search Engine rankings. Well it's true, earlier many people have a vision that Social media or Social networking doesn't give you relevant traffic, nor does they give you a proper back link, as most of the back links from these websites are dynamic or sometimes these URL's got redirected, to your main website.
    But as in other Link Building Techniques more and more spam is involved so social media is getting more importance, than other techniques. There are a few reasons for Social media becoming important for many search engines.

    I do think that social media like Twitter and FB can serve multiple purposes at once. To start they help a ton with SEO because you gain PR from their high PR home pages. Secondly they can drive significant traffic. Both sources should be cornerstones of any SEO campaign.

    Are there any more definite sources that show social media (twitter, facebook, etc) affect SEO? I know that SM can increase traffic which will improve SEO. However, does anyone know if Google incorporated SM into its algorithm when ranking and crawling websites?

    I also know that Google has a separate results section from twitter and other SM sources.

    I see that people are making these statements with little or no backing. I would appreciate if anyone would provide proof or facts that SM affects organic searches and Google's methods of ranking sites besides the fact that SM can increase traffic through various methods.

    Thank you!
