Hello. I wanna ask a question about social media links. If I send tweets my website page on twitter or facebook etc is it effective on seo ? for example if I send a tweet like this : hey check out these shoes => mywebsite.com/shoes is it effective on link building. Or how do you build you links on social media ?
For me social media sharing is my nr 1 way to index new articles, not to mention that it's a natural way.
I would use a variation of my target keyword as anchor text, but just pointing the user to the direct link is fine. I make sure to make my tweet or shoutout interesting to capture the user/reader's attention. Hope that helps. Have a good day!
Social networking can provide opportunities for new relationships as well as strengthening existing relationships in seo link building
Usually links placed on social networks are nofollow. This means that the search engine bot won't follow them. However, it pays to acquire them as they diversify our links. We also have a chance that someone clicks on the link and visit our site.
I would say the links alone on the social networks don't mean anything for your link profile. It is just more exposure, and increases the chances for people to click the links. I try not to just post a link by itself, I wait for times when I feel the content of the link can be helpful, this increases the chances for it to be clicked as well as shared by more people.
And yes, this would give you benefit in SEO too apart from getting some direct visitors to your site, it would help in building brand name of your company too.
In the world of SEO, social signals are much better than traditional backlinking, because they are “organic†links.
